Visual Connections
Have you noticed how often spirals appear in nature? We think of these moments as Visual Connections. They happen when things share similar patterns, shapes, colors - anything one can imagine!
Visual Connections are intuitive and accessible, yet engaging for kids and adults alike. Each set of OuiSi has thousands of connections waiting to be found.
"I'm using OuiSi with my students to sharpen visual and critical-thinking skills. My students LOVE this game." - Kate T.
Critical & abstract thinking
Through inquiry-based conversation, students learn to think in critical and abstract ways. Learnings can are for brainstorming, prototyping and other design-thinking activities. The QR codes on the back of OuiSi Nature enable further discovery and investigation.
Guidebook Activities: OuiSinoes, OuiSi Draw, Trainbuilder, Scavenger and Megamal
"The game encourages imaginative thinking, close observation and clear communication." - Josephine D.
"The QR codes are informative and add a sense of adventure." - Kathleen J.
Social-emotional learning
Students connect with each other through creativity and discussion, creating opportunities for better understanding. These understandings are the building blocks of empathy.
OuiSi encourages cooperative and collaborative play, fostering an abundance mindset.
OuiSi can also serve as a mindfulness activity for self-regulating anxiety.
Activities: OuiSinoes, OuiSi Capture, Storybuilder, Imaginate, OuiSense and OuiFeel
"I teach social emotional skills to K-2 students. I use OuiSi for discussions about perspectives, making connections and more. My students love it!" - Rebekah B.
Languages
OuiSi develops language development through observation-based conversation. OuiSi can be integrated with neuro-typical students and those with learning differences, groups with varied reading and verbal skills, and English-language learners.
Activities: OuiSinoes, OuiSi Eye Spy, Storybuilder, OuiFeel and OuiFeel
"As a Speech-Language Pathologist, I absolutely love this game! I can teach language skills as we play. I can target how pictures go together by colors, shape, function, and so much more. My 8 and 10 year old immediately wanted to play this as soon as they saw it!" - Ashley W., MS CCC-SLP
Durable and flexible
The OuiSi Guidebook is full of activities to suit the needs of students. Yet players often make up their own rules of play.
The Photo Cards are beautiful and durable, andit's okay to lose some or damage them without affecting playability. In fact, teachers can separate the set for multiple groups to use.
In other words, one or two sets can go really far in a single classroom.
"It's a great product, durable, and just all around a fantastic instructional tool for teachers!" - Lisa R.
Multidisciplinary and accessible
Visual Connections are inclusive and engaging, regardless of age, background or verbal language.
OuiSi games are flexible and adaptive, making them a fit in science, math, art programs and compatible with curriculum standards.
"We use OuiSi for writing time - for example, using adjectives to describe the cards. We also use OuiSi for math as we look for similar patterns." - Shannon S.
