• Merging gaming in education produces sweet results for both the students and the teachers. Children nowadays tend to use mobile devices for a big amount of time and don't tend to do physical activities. Interactive floors urge the students to move while learning. Nonetheless, most floor designs require expensive or extensive setup to operate. We present the design and implementation of a prototype of an educational interactive floor utilizing only printed sheets of paper and an android phone. The design is optimized towards minimalism. Which makes it usable, affordable and in budget for students in poor areas. We tested the application in the lab and responses level were satisfactory. However, this is still a work in progress project. Involving students in future experiments is a must.
