Re: Explaining game instructions without using the native language (HELP!) I agree with Mark. The best way to approach the problem is to break the game into large segments over several days. This also has the benefit of keeping the kids interested, as the game slightly changes (and becomes more challenging) each day.
I would also consider selecting games for the particular age groups. At four or five, I don't remember playing Red Light Green Light, for example. The games were even simpler, I believe. You may also be running into a wall because the ability to understand instructions in any language is just a bit beyond the kids' development. Just a thought.
I hope this helps a bit. |
