This has been wonderful because not only do they have the socialization playing games with one another, but I love that they get to share with their friends that don't know the games.

My students are learning English and positional words can be tricky! Practicing the words from a vocabulary sheet is simply not enough to help students memorize the words. Acting it out with high quality materials, however, is a fabulous strategy! With these materials, I give a command, such as \"Put the bear IN the toy box\" and the students would use the materials to do it. Sometimes, we'd get silly with the commands! (\"Put the car in the pool\" or \"put the duck on the car.\") Sometimes, I'd have a student take a turn giving the commands. Sometimes the kids would race to see who could do it first.
