This dynamic approach not only fosters collaboration but also makes learning enjoyable. They particularly love participating in cooperative learning games, which further enriches their educational experience.\r\n\r\nThese resources cater to various learning styles and, as we all know, children often find it challenging to remain seated for extended periods. Your generosity has given them the opportunity to be active participants in their learning journey, encouraging them to get up and move while simultaneously absorbing new information.
