Board Games at Choice Time

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.

As a selection during Choice Time, the Cardinals were provided with the opportunity to play either Candyland ...


or The Lady Bug Game....


They were so excited to have these choices. One Cardinal responded, “I want to play the Ladybug Game cause I already know how to play the Candyland Game and I want to learn a new one.” It is amazing all the leaning that takes place just by virtue of playing these board games.
