ARIADNE'S THREAD
Since it was named in the dictionary definition, we told the children
the story of "Ariadne's thread".
Children were curious and fascinated about it, and they tried to tell
the story with their words...
MATTIA M.: Once upon a time there was Theseus who had to go and overcome the Minotaur that was
inside a labyrinth. Arianna had an idea, to create a red wool thread to get out of the labyrinth, then. He
(Theseus) defeated the Minotaur and he succeeded in getting out of the labyrinth and everyone was
happy".
Mattia A, talking about the wool thread, realized that, in the area of
our classroom that is dedicated to handmade constructions, there
was a ball of wool.
MATTIA A.: We could take this wool and make the labyrinth.
