Abstract :
We developed a real world interaction oriented edutainment (system) where students can learn through interaction with persons and objects in the real world as though it were game. This edutainment has characteristics such as (1) quizzes recorded in RFID tags attached to the objects are presented on a students´ PDA and (2) persons play a role that provides hints for the quizzes and leads the students to a learning goal according to an edutainment scenario. We practiced this edutainment at an educational event for elementary school students
