1. WRITE-O-MANIABy Ahmad Muaz bin Mohd FadzliProject SummaryWrite-o-Mania is a digital game designed to help primary school students improve theirsentence construction skills. Combining board game mechanics like Monopoly, the gamerequires students to land on tiles with tasks that involve creating sentences or identifying partsof speech related to a specific topic. The primary goal is to engage students, particularly thosewith low proficiency or shyness, by making learning fun and interactive, providing them with amore enjoyable way to practice their writing skills.Problem StatementDuring my practicum, I observed that many students struggled with constructing evensimple sentences and were too shy to attempt writing on their own. Traditional teachingmethods were often ineffective in engaging these students. Write-o-Mania directly addressesthis problem by offering a game-based platform where students can learn through gamificationwhich can help in reducing the pressure of traditional lessons and making it easier for studentsto try creating sentences without fear of making mistakes (Barata et al., 2013). This approachindicates a positive, low-stress environment that encourages students to experiment withlanguage and build their confidence.Topic and Integrated SkillsThe focus of the game is on improving writing skills, specifically sentence construction,while also integrating grammar and vocabulary development. In addition, the game promotescollaborative learning as students work together to complete tasks, share knowledge, and helpeach other. This social aspect is key to breaking down barriers that students may haveregarding their writing abilities, as they can learn from their friends in a supportive, cooperativeenvironment.Target Users and AimThe primary objectives of Write-o-Mania are to help students progress from simple tomore complex sentence structures, build their confidence in writing through playful andengaging tasks, and encourage peer collaboration. The game is designed to cater to differentlevels of proficiency, making it suitable for students from Year 2 to Year 6, with content that canbe adapted to meet the varying needs of students across different grade levels.BenefitsBased on my experience at the Digital Innovation Project Exhibition at SK Convent BatuPahat, I found that students were genuinely excited to play and answer the questions. It wasexciting to see their enthusiasm as they participated and even when they were puzzled by sometasks, they could rely on their friends for help. This shows collaborative learning which could berelated to trialogical learning (Karlgren et al, 2019). Teachers also expressed a strong interest inusing Genially, the platform used to create the game and provided valuable feedback on how toimprove the content to better suit the students’ levels. This interaction not only demonstrated thepositive impact of the game on student learning but also highlighted its potential to encourageteachers to explore new digital tools in their teaching practices.1
MaterialsThe game was created using Genially, an interactive platform known for its user-friendlydesign, making it accessible for both students and teachers with varying levels of digitalproficiency. The user-friendly platform ensures that it can be easily used in classrooms, even byteachers who are unfamiliar with digital teaching tools. Interactive features in Genially allowstudents to engage with the game effectively, while teachers can monitor progress and provideguidance as needed.StepsWhen it comes to games, it is important to have a manual or guide on how to play sothat the pupils can play at fullest. Figure 1 shows the QR code of the steps on how to play Write‘o’ Mania. Pupils, parents and teachers can also refer to the QR. Users can go to slide 5 and 6for further instructions.Figure 1Steps to play Write -o- ManiaProduct MarketingMarketing is important especially when an innovation project takes place. The purpose ofthe marketing is to ensure pupils and teachers from every part of Malaysia, or even better;world, can have access to the game. Although I am thinking of commercialising the game, thepromise is that the price is not going to be costly. The promotion can be referred to in AppendixA.2

It introduces gamification into teaching usingthe Gather Town platform, allowing students to actively explore concepts in a virtualenvironment.Problem statementTraditional methods of teaching the animal kingdom have proven to be ineffective incapturing the interest of primary school students. Lessons are often delivered through lectures,textbooks, and static visuals, which fail to stimulate curiosity or active participation. Onesignificant issue is the lack of interactivity in these methods, which makes it difficult for studentsto connect with abstract concepts like predator-prey relationships, animal adaptations, andecosystem dynamics. Without a hands-on approach, students often struggle to retain and applywhat they have learned.Additionally, these traditional approaches do not integrate modern digital tools, leavingstudents unprepared for a world where technology plays a vital role in learning andproblem-solving. This gap also affects teachers, many of whom lack opportunities to exploreinnovative, tech-based teaching methods. The absence of collaboration-focused activitiesfurther limits student engagement. While group work can enhance understanding and buildsocial skills, conventional teaching methods rarely include opportunities for teamwork, leavingstudents to learn in isolation. By addressing these challenges, Safari of Knowledge introduces afresh, interactive approach to teaching, helping both students and teachers overcome thelimitations of traditional methods.Topic and Integrated skills● Problem-solving● Collaboration● Critical thinking● Digital literacy● Understanding of biological ecosystemObjectives1.To teach students about various animal species, their habitats, and their roles inecosystems.2.
