Board games are wonderful learning tools for young children. They
can teach important social skills such as communicating verbally, sharing and waiting,
taking turns, and enjoying interaction with others as they share each other’s ideas.
Board games can foster the ability to focus, and lengthen a child’s attention
span by encouraging the completion of an exciting, enjoyable game. In addition
to teaching young children about patience and good sportsmanship, board games also
help children improve their literacy, mathematical, memory and spatial skills.
Here,
we see Audrey and her peer as they play cooperatively The Ladybug Game. In their play, Audrey and her friend are sharing
and turn-taking. Also, they are listening to each other’s ideas and responding
politely and respectfully to one another.
