We researched and observed the dynamics of a classroom with children aged 7 to 11, from a lowincome public school in Santiago. We decided to focus on storytelling skills. At this educational stage kids are expected to be able to tell stories with coherent timelines, but they would usually go back and forth and ending up confused and losing the story.
Hubo Cubo is a didactic game designed to help kids in their development of language & storytelling skills by using cubes to visualize the story timeline and promote creative thinking while having fun. The goal of the game is to collaboratively build a story using the contextual illustrations on the boxes and the words on the cubes using the rules provided by the dice. There’s no individual winner—the whole group wins when the board is complete.
