My students have been excited to learn new games, practice explaining the rules to one another, and work together to help classmates understand how to play. As they play with classmates and the different volunteers who visit my classroom, they are developing important social skills such as taking turns, being patient, following directions, holding and managing cards, playing fairly, and learning how to both win and lose graciously. The games have created so many opportunities for my students to practice cooperation, communication, problem-solving, and perseverance in a setting that feels fun and natural.\r\nThe games have also become a wonderful learning option throughout our school day. They are a favorite choice for students who finish their work early, giving them a meaningful activity to enjoy rather than simply waiting for others to finish. Even more importantly, the games give my students another way to demonstrate what they know. For students who may struggle to show mastery through traditional pencil-and-paper assignments, a game can provide an engaging, hands-on way to demonstrate understanding, problem-solving, communication, and persistence.
