1. 🔤 “Match It or Miss It” (Matching Game)

• How it works: Drag-and-drop or card-style matching where learners pair a term (e.g., “Mycotoxin”) with its correct definition or visual.

• Inspired by: Montessori-style object-word associations.

• Offline Version: Flip cards or laminated picture sets.

• Purpose: Builds vocabulary + critical thinking.

2. 🎭 “Act It Out” Scenarios (Role-play Prompts)

• How it works: Learners act out short skits. Example: one plays a farmer, another an auditor. Scene: “You are caught storing cocoa on the wet floor — what happens?”

• Inspired by: Drama-based ESL and behavioral therapy teaching.

• Purpose: Builds recall under pressure, emotion-linked memory, and group collaboration.

3. 🧠 “Picture This” Recall Game (Visual Story Recall)

• How it works: Show an illustrated cocoa process scene (e.g., drying, bagging, storing). Ask, “What’s wrong here?” or “What steps are missing?”

• Inspired by: Dyslexia-friendly visual storyboarding and error-spotting in Western visual education.

• Purpose: Sharpen visual analysis + process memory

🧩 “Codex Puzzle Cards”

• How it works: Rearranging shuffled steps of safe cocoa processing or HACCP principles into the correct sequence.

• Inspired by: Executive function training tools.

• Offline Tool: Reusable laminated puzzle cards.

• Purpose: Builds logic, procedural thinking, and flow mastery.

🧏🏾‍♀️ “Tell Me How” Peer Teaching

• How it works: After each module, learners are randomly assigned to explain one concept to the group using any method: a drawing, a gesture, or even a song.

• Inspired by: “Teach-back” method used in healthcare and adult education.

• Purpose: Reinforces mastery through expressive recall.

🥁 “Drum & Say” Rhythm Game

• How it works: Set HACCP steps or Codex keywords to rhythm or music. Farmers repeat or add on, like a memory chain.

• Inspired by: Music therapy and special ed auditory processing tools.

• Purpose: Links rhythm to memory — great for auditory learners.

📦 “Bag Check Challenge” (Physical Simulation)

• How it works: A real-life "inspection" where groups prepare a mini-sack of “cocoa” (beans, sand, anything). Instructor plays auditor and asks:

  • Was your sack dry?

  • Was your record book filled?

• Inspired by: Real-world job shadowing simulations.

• Purpose: Translates learning into motor memory.

📱 Mobile Microquizzes (Optional Add-On)

• How it works: WhatsApp or USSD push quizzes with emoji feedback:

  • “🚜 You stored beans on bare ground. Safe or Unsafe? Reply 1 or 2”

• Purpose: Keeps reinforcement alive between meetings.

📸 Visual Diary Submissions

• How it works: Farmers take photos of their own drying racks or fermentation boxes and upload them to a class WhatsApp or the site. Others give feedback.

• Purpose: Builds real-world ownership and connection to lessons.

🌟 “Codex Star Badges”

• Gamify it: Learners earn stars/badges for completing sections, leading discussions, or passing mini-tests.

• Inspired by: Duolingo, Khan Academy badge systems.

• Offline version: Sticker books or charts.
