Board games are fantastic ways to encourage our students to foster new relationships and friendships while refining educational skills they didn't realize they already have. Spatial reasoning, mathematical probabilities, anticipating your opponent are all high-level cognitive functions that can transfer to our classrooms.
Board games build confidence and provide opportunities to take healthy risks with new ways of thinking and learning.
Our school is initiating a new program to strengthen relationships in a fun new way. Creating a non-stressful environment (dedicated solely to high-interest strategy games) will give my students the social and emotional reprieve they need to bounce back from pandemic learning. "Settlers of Catan" and "Carcassonne" are both games that will improve familiarity with mathematics and economics. In addition, their academic language will improve as new strategies are learned and developed.
