¡Celebra de forma interactiva todos los cumpleaños en primaria con este recurso único! Conéctalo, si lo deseas, a tu calendario de clase para que puedas acceder directamente a cada celebración en su día especial.

Permite a los estudiantes elegir la cantidad de velas según su edad (de 3 a 11), el tipo de pastel y hasta el tema del cumpleaños, ¡la diversión está garantizada!

Este recurso es versátil y se puede utilizar tanto en el aprendizaje a distancia a través de videoconferencias como en el salón de clase, utilizando una pizarra interactiva o cualquier otro dispositivo con pantalla.

Si lo prefieres, cambia el Bitmoji de la primera y última diapositiva por tu propia imagen y no olvides personalizar el nombre del alumno en la última diapositiva antes de la presentación.

La dinámica es emocionante: una vez elegido el pastel y entonado el "cumpleaños feliz", el alumno intentará soplar las velas. En ese momento, el profesor avanzará a la siguiente diapositiva. Si solo apaga las velas de la derecha, se le pedirá que lo intente nuevamente soplando más hacia la izquierda. Al hacerlo, apagará las velas de la izquierda pero dejará encendidas las del centro. En el último intento, logrará apagar todas las velas centrales y se sorprenderá con fuegos artificiales mientras aparece un emotivo "¡Feliz cumpleaños!" en la parte superior de la pantalla.

Para una experiencia óptima, asegúrate de utilizar solo el modo de presentación y controlar el progreso con el mouse o touch-pad. Evita utilizar el teclado para avanzar a la siguiente diapositiva, ya que esto podría interrumpir el emocionante final.

¡Prepárate para la diversión y la alegría en cada cumpleaños de tus estudiantes con esta encantadora actividad interactiva!
