SOMETHINGS MIX (EVERYWHERE+IN NATURE)

Somethings Here&There MIX is a learning-through-play resource for all ages and all homes/classrooms, offering support in building a closer relationship with nature and others, in focusing scattered minds, and in gathering story-worthy memories.

It’s an exploration game that fits in a pocket but unfolds across the big, wide world. The MIX includes two sets that can be used together or separately: A basic set of 40 cards that encourages meaningful wandering, enthusiasm, and learning EVERYWHERE, and another that specifically promotes exploration IN NATURE. See more on each product’s separate page.

Connection with Nature: Unlike other educational games, Somethings here&there not only encourages learning but also fosters a long-term, close relationship with nature. Through environmental exploration, the game promotes movement and helps cultivate a sense of ecological responsibility in players. Minimalist and Flexible Design: Somethings here&there offers a set of portable cards that can be used in various contexts — structured settings (learning sessions, camps, team-building activities), as well as spontaneous ones (during walks, at the playground, while waiting in line). This flexibility and simplicity of design are rare in other games, which tend to be limited to a certain environment or too complex for ad-hoc use. Adaptable to Different Ages and Abilities: Somethings here&there is especially suited for preschool and elementary school children, but it’s designed to be enjoyed by all ages, with various levels of difficulty. It’s engaging for toddlers with parental guidance, older children, and even adults, with its appeal growing in relation to the adult’s facilitation. As such, it can have a long life within a family or classroom. Promoting Cognitive Development and Creativity: The game not only challenges players to explore nature but also supports a wide range of thinking processes: associations, comparisons, conclusions, hypotheses, deductions, evaluations, and abstractions. It fosters creativity through images and text that leave room for personal interpretation. This unique approach makes it more than just a game, transforming it into a valuable learning tool. Versatile Gameplay Options: Somethings here&there can be played in different ways — against the clock, in teams/solo, or at a leisurely pace — allowing for great customization. Each game session can be unique, maintaining participants’ interest and enthusiasm. Sustainability and Environmental Education: The game is created with a nature-friendly approach, emphasizing the use of materials and concepts that encourage respect for nature (sturdy cardboard, cotton, and local businesses).
