The Nintendo Wii, from fun to fitness to education (source: Nintendo)
Popular playground games such as clapping and skipping are to be converted into Nintendo Wii-type computer games as part of a unique collaboration between the British Library, Nintendo and two London universities – Institute of Education and University of East London.
The games will help to record and conserve playground games for future generations of children with advice from games developers at Nintendo. Generating these prototype playground games is only one strand of the ambitious £600,000 project.
The project also aims to digitally convert the important collection of playground games and songs held at the British Library. This collection will then be transferred to an interactive website where children, parents, educators and members of the public can access the digitised archives.
