I am not just having my student play games for fun, I am having them play games to learn the skills on how to deal with if they lose. Lots of my students have difficulty playing games in their general education classroom because they get very upset if they lose. In my classroom it gives me an opportunity to play games with them and teach they what to do when they lose. I have also realized that over the years, a lot of my students don't really know even how to play a board game. So with these games I am able to teach them.
