Kids love to play and we need to encourage and support them learning through play in school and at home! As a school we strive to create an enriching environment that supports children's development. By teaching students to play and enjoy a variety of board games, it allows them to develop critical social-emotional skills, not to mention quality alternatives to tablets and TV. As students become more familiar with each game they will broaden their key critical thinking skills that they will apply to their learning as they develop winning strategies. In the classroom I will use this collection of board games to build a game library. In addition to structured game play during the school week, students will be able to check-out games to play during lunch/recess or take home as part of play homework! By engaging with other students in playing games children learn to take turns, develop strategies, and communicate clearly with others. Outside of the school day many at risk students don't have the luxury of structured activities and constant adult attention -- resulting in too much screen time. Students taking home their favorite games encourages family bonding and gives children the thrill of teaching what they've learned. Including game play as part of students' weekly homework directly benefits the child's social-emotional development. It's a win-win-win.
