A game by the Library of Üllői út organized for children aged 8-14 from October 2019 to October 2020.
Unfortunately, the last meeting of our game was cancelled because of pandemic situation, but it was replaced by an online meeting on 8th October 2020. So, we could meet Erzsi Kertész, the author of
Panthera novel series. The game was built on the first part of the series (In the captivity of Snow globe); we had a lot of questions to the author.
Thanks to Erzsi Kertész for the memorable meeting and the adventurous novels; thanks to all who took part in the game and played with enthusiasm all year round; thanks to the teachers, Aunt Ildi, Aunt Szilvi and Aunt Marcsi, for their attention and care, patience and organization; last but not least, thanks to schools for the provision of technical background of the last meeting.

Meetings:
24 October 2019 (Thursday) 5.00 PM
Team building, climbing in head, pitfalls
Home mission: to build the model of the mountain
This year the exciting novel titled Panthera written by Erzsi Kertész is portrayed within the frame of our game. The first meeting was really mysterious and funny (at the same time), just like at a campfire. Team-work is in the center of the game, the main point is that every player can find its place and role during the meeting. Players set up tents, broke camps, packed up to go for a one-week forest tour by imagination, wrote stories about some pictures and felt their ways in the dark (or we can say they shot in the dark), with their fellows' prompting.
Thanks to the parents and teachers for their attention, assistance, patience and encouragement; see You on 28th November! :)

Dangers, treasures, council of war, night watch
Home mission: "silence pebble"
The second meeting of our game focused on weird forest noises, the mysterious sounds of night watch, our justifiable and groundless fears, however, we had fun as well. As a starting relaxation, we tried to identify peculiar sounds of nature, full of jocundity.
Then the teams wrote inner monologues within the frame of the game, focusing on the fears of night watch; they were really creepy. Finally, we found akarit crystal by a jigsaw puzzle and books, that was the "silence pebble". A lot of Panthera-models were made and taken to the meeting.
Thanks to all for the ideas and products. Read the novel and we will meet in January.
The main question of the third meeting was the issue of the snow globe. How can the snow globe contain a mountain and nearly 40 players altogether? It turned out on the third meeting of the game based on Panthera - In the captivity of Snow globe written by Erzsi Kertész, analysed and portrayed by us. The third meeting also covered drawing portrait of one another linked with a funny activity; we also acted two chapters of the novel with the great variety of gestures, just like in a silent film. In addition, beautiful and extraordinary "silence pebbles" were made; they have special material in the book, that is akarit crystal which has great importance in the novel.
Next time we will climb the mountain.

The accident, on the peak, under the mountain
Home mission: favourite scene (with puppets or personal acting / film or performance)
Our last but one meeting started at the campfire, traditionally. We recalled what happened in the novel up to the scenes at the cave, then those who brought akarit crystals even more told how they grew. They became really nice pieces.
As a preparation to the adventure of mountaineering, all teams showed their presentations related to mountains; they presented numerous interesting and useful pieces of information within the frame of 11 lectures. Finally, a game was organized; all members of the teams were needed to take part in the game - to help stuffed animals with getting up the mountain - that meant to reach the top of the tables. The players realized that everyone had to concentrate, otherwise the stuffed animals could not reach the top.
We warmly welcome Erzsi Kertész, the author of the novel Panthera - In the captivity of Snow globe to the last meeting of our one-year-long game.
Naturally, all who are interested in the game and the novel are also welcome to our last meeting.
