  Abstract:  

In search of effective methods of teaching, teachers experience continually. An important aid it gives, of course, by the theoretical content of pedagogy, being based on years of experience. Effective methods of working with students can be born from the outside school environment. We offer in this article an example to improve practice in education, an example inspired from a passion for board games. Such games are used to pursue a pleasant socializing day away from the computer when you meet your friends. I have learned, not long ago, about an interesting card game, a dynamic action game. It is called Pictureka! (Hasbro Europe, 2010). One of the four possible applications of game (8-Away version) gave us the idea of starting a teaching card game called Didactireka. For the teaching game of cards we gathered specific learning tasks for didactics of physical education. This led to a total of 20 missions. We wanted for these missions to have a medium degree of difficulty not to discourage students. We also considered that the tasks chosen have to cover a wide range of specific content from our domain. To have a better dynamic for the game we built each task card with two missions. Because some tasks have more words in the name, while others have few words, we decided to hook up tasks depending on length of text field. This modality of coupling the missions gives a good chance to all players, including those who have cards only for the second mission. We built on the cards. Also for the game to have a good dynamic and more than one entry in each round of play, we chose for each card game three components. The components were mixed together to get each card game components from different missions.We got 20 cards with missions and 40 playing cards. Dividing by 8 cards per player (or team players), the maximum number of players (or teams of players) is 5.

Key words: teaching game, physical education, didactic, card game, pictureka.
