Abstract

The experience is described in this paper, it is a small game for drawing a little house. The experience tries to innovate in the traditional methodologies of learning of theoretical subjects and is shown a small game that can be used to introduce the concept of production assembly orders or in order picking systems by relays or “Bucket Brigades”.
