Suggested use, and practical examples

The Same Four game can be easily integrated into everyday school life because the gameplay is short, requires minimal preparation, and can be played with few materials. It can be used during lessons (e.g., developmental or leisure classes), as well as during breaks or after-school programs, providing a good opportunity for structured play. Tournaments can also be organized within a class or grade, which can be motivating for children.

During technology classes, students can create their own game sets, which helps develop manual skills, creativity, and independent planning. The 4×4 game board has a fixed size but can be freely decorated. The game pieces can vary widely in form as long as they are clearly distinguishable based on four different properties – they can be two-dimensional or three-dimensional, drawn, glued, carved, or made from recycled materials.

Both making and playing the game develop creativity, rule-following, patience, and offer opportunities for self-expression.
