My Project

Classic and modern board games and puzzles are fun for all learners! Board games are often forgotten about, but are real gems in the classroom! Games can be played in pairs or in small groups. Monopoly, Uno, and other games can be played when students have completed work before their peers, during choice time, or be assigned to students based on ability level.

Puzzles and board games have so many wonderful benefits for children.

They help improve language skills, sharpen focus, teach the importance of teamwork, build confidence, soothe anxiety, and are a good way to unplug. Strategy games are useful in helping the frontal lobes of the brain develop.
