Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Board games offer numerous benefits for children, impacting their social, cognitive, and emotional development. They enhance social skills like teamwork, turn-taking, and empathy while improving cognitive abilities such as problem-solving, memory, and critical thinking. Board games can also boost emotional well-being by promoting self-confidence, resilience, and the ability to manage emotions. Many board games encourage players to work together toward a common goal, fostering teamwork and cooperation.

Board games inherently involve taking turns, teaching children patience and the importance of waiting their turn.

Playing with others provides opportunities for children to practice social skills like communication, negotiation, and conflict resolution. Cooperative games, in particular, can foster empathy and understanding as players work together to support each other's success.
