The goal of the eTwinning project entitled Forgotten games is to return forgotten games into childrens everyday lives and thus to encourage a genuine communication, which has been kept in the background due to the introduction of the modern Information and communications technology. During the project, the children learned how to play old games by authorial video guides and prepared rules, published in the projects virtual classroom. By learning games from other countries, the children learned about countries diversities and expanded their vocabulary. While playing, they were also getting to know the importance of tolerance and cooperation with each other. At first, they learned the games of our own country. The children played games on the basis of the oral tradition of their relatives and the information on the internet. We made utensils for the games and at school we learned how to play the games in practice. Afterwards we prepared rules using documents in a cloud. Then we recorded video guides with the disposable shooting equipment (cameras, tablets). The video shots were processed and published on YouTube and in the projects virtual classroom. The time spent for the projects activities consisted of three parts. The first was to take a look at instructions and learn them, followed by the game in the open air, concluded with a video shot of the game and publication of this feedback in the virtual classroom. The added value of the project is information transmitted through various channels. The shot video guides additionally supported the written game instructions. Several times we invented various game realizations and shared them with others through video shots.
