My Project

There are many benefits of board games for students. Learning is something that takes time. Some students need a little time to master content and some students need lots of time.

Learning games, both board game style and card games are one way that you can meet the needs of both groups of students.

Many board games leave lots of room for differentiation.

When students are grouped heterogeneously, games can be customized. It can be compared to giving students two different assignments, yet they are playing the same game.

There are many more benefits of board games for students. They increase engagement in your classroom. Your students would rather read or complete math problems in a game rather than do a paper and pencil activity. Some students who are distracted during their work time will stay on task when they are playing a game.
