In school, students are constantly listening to their teachers talk, looking at powerpoints, or filling out worksheets. As a social worker in an elementary school, I have the flexibility of doing more interactive teaching - but I can't do it without the tools! This is my first year so my supplies are very limited. I am looking to expand my toolbox so that I have a variety of different activities I can do with the students to keep them engaged. I also would like to see if they are able to apply skills they learned in group, in other settings as well. Games such as Uno, Jenga, and other board games can hep students learn social skills without them knowing it! They can learn how to take turns, how to engage in a conversation, and how to work with one another. If there are students that have difficulty opening up, using games also allows students to become comfortable and to help build rapport. Games can be utilized in so many ways!
