The squares: A multi-touch adaptive game for children integration

In this paper we present the design, development and a case of use of The Square Game, an adaptive collaborative game created to promote the development of capabilities such as socialization or integration by means of multi-touch technologies. The system built to generate the game activities dynamically also facilitates the recollection of data about each user´s actions and interactions with others to help educators to get conclusions about the process. The case of use has involved 52 Primary School students and several experts from C.E.I.P. Príncipe de Asturias (Madrid). The results obtained suggest the feasibility of using this type of games for such purposes.
