My Project

Board games encourage critical thinking and problem solving and accomplish objectives. Board games can provide students with opportunities to apply concepts they have learned. Board games promote collaboration, inquiry, and critical thinking. The pandemic has brought about huge disruptions in peer interactions and social relationships. Kids are expected to learn not only about cooperation, trust, loyalty and support, but also about themselves, understanding and expressing their own emotions, making well thought out decisions, coping with challenges and accepting responsibility during the school day. Board games are a great way to enhance interpersonal interactions while promoting learning in the classroom setting.
