My Project

Classic board games will significantly aid my students in developing their speech and language skills by providing engaging, interactive opportunities for communication. Let us put down the electronics!

As they play, students will practice taking turns, following rules, and expressing their thoughts and strategies, all of which are essential for effective communication.

Many board games, such as Head’s Up, UNO, and Hungry Hungry Hippos, encourage vocabulary building and comprehension through discussions about game scenarios, asking questions, and describing actions. This collaborative environment fosters social interactions, helping students enhance their conversational skills and build confidence in their ability to express themselves
