The principle of the game:
Each player gets seven letter cards with which he/she has to change the word on the board.
The aim of the game:
The aim of the Internet & TV game format of Rondo is to add to the role of the teacher and the educational system in teaching children to read, in strengthening their knowledge of the language, enlarging their vocabulary, bettering their spelling skills and giving them a wider understanding of the meanings of the words they accumulate in their vocabulary.
Through game, fun and competition the children have a more exciting experience of learning, in which they’re not even aware that they’re learning.
The game is developed for both platforms: as an Internet game and as a TV game show, linked to each other.
On the Internet the learning process is direct and interactive, with direct reporting to the teacher and helping the teacher create testing modules to complete and evaluate the learning cycle.
The TV game show will function as the culmination of the Internet game competitions.
On the TV the best players of schools from all over the Netherlands will compete against each other.
The viewers in the classroom and at home will participate ‘passive-actively,’ while the game is broadcast, by thinking along the players in the studio and by participating live through the Internet. The TV game shows will also function as incentive for the viewers to go and play the game at home, on the Internet, and in the classroom, as part of the curriculum, because this will give them the chance to be selected to play the game in the studio and be seen on TV.

Rondo is also available as a board game in French and Dutch, throughout the Benelux, as LEX.

And also in English, as Addictionary
