Episode 01-introduction section 1.2 Play games to open is lacking games to play

[Tillsa]

In the lesson 01-introduction, section 1.2 "Play games to open" is lacking games to play. So far the only "game" is opening a random item page. Ideas for other Wikidata related games / ice-breakers are needed.

Some ideas:

• Wikidata distributed games: https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-game/distributed/# : but not all of them seems to work still are have still some open task, therefore one should test them before suggesting to people
• Mix'n'Match: https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match/#/ : but also here maybe skim previously what might be a good candidate to start
• WikiShootMe: https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikishootme/ : maybe this is more for a break session outside

Hi @Tillsa @konrad today in the sprint, we talked about listing the two exercises below and leaving it up to the instructor/trainee to choose which one to use:

Creating & Editing Libraries in Wikidata https://coffeecode.net/creating-and-editing-libraries-in-wikidata.html

WikiProject: Women in Red https://blog.wikimedia.org/2018/03/29/increasing-visibility-women-with-wikidata/

The exercise instructions are there, they just need to be Carpenterized. What do you think?

Thanks for the suggestions! We had a short discussion and are thinking that it might be better to move the games to later parts as some require an understanding of editing already. Or just do exploratory games in the beginning and other one to later stage.
