My Project

My kids love to build and construct whenever they can. They enjoy designing and creating. With this project, games like 'Tetris' and 'Jenga' will inspire critical-thinking skills and encourage students to think 'out of the box'.

Students learn from partaking in these hands-on activities rather than passively reading a book.

Immersive games allow kids to be more engaged, and participate in their own learning. At the same time, these activities require teamwork and problem-solving skills. Games like 'Make a Splash' and the 'Toss and Catch Ball Set' will undoubtedly spark conversation, increase interpersonal skills but most importantly be fun!

Thank you so much for your help with this project and for taking part in our learning development!
