The New Family Game Don’t Forget About Your Feet Extends a Book by Authors from FMC
25. September 2023Learning the right habits for foot health can be not only practical, but also fun – thanks to the new family game Don’t Forget About Your Feet (in Czech: Nezapomeň na nohy). The game was created as part of the Educational Game Package with Podiatry Elements project, which was implemented by the Technology Transfer Centre in cooperation with the Faculty of Multimedia Communications. The Department of Marketing Communications and the Animation Studio also contributed to project.
The game is based on a richly illustrated book that provides practical advice and examples of exercises aimed at foot care. The exercises from the book have been translated into a board game with cards that contain both exercises familiar from the book and new activities. Players will thus meet the same characters and exercises, both when playing at home but also on the go thanks to the mobile app version.
According to one of the authors of the game, Radomila Soukalová from the Institute of Marketing Communications, it is a great complement to the original book. “The board game is intended for pre-school and school age children, is linked to the book, and extends the possibilities of learning by playing. Children can practice their knowledge and enjoy the familiar characters also in the mobile app.”
Don’t Forget About Your Feet offers five different variations of the game, allowing it to be adapted to the age and number of players. It is designed for children aged four and up and can be played by up to twenty players simultaneously. This makes it ideal not only for home entertainment, but also for schools, kindergartens and after-school clubs.
Theoretical questions and practical exercises teach players how to properly care for their feet, how they work and how to use them. The whole family, from little ones to adults, will love the exercises and movement activities.
The Czech brand Dino, which has more than 30 years of experience in board games, was involved in the production and precise execution of the game. The Czech Podiatric Society provided professional guarantee of the project.
The game Don’t Forget About Your Feet is now available in toy stores, bookstores and e-shops. The book was published by the Host publishing house, you can read more about the project here.
