Board Games are a brilliant way for children to develop their language skills and also their social skills. They teach children so many skills including;
- how to take turns
- problem solving skills
- colour recognition
- shape recognition
- reading skills
- sight words
- maths skills
- counting skills
- memory
- imagination
- multiple step directions
- fine motor skills
- hand eye co-ordination
- teamwork
- co-operation
- winning and losing
- sportsmanship
- organisation and game set up
- rules and strategy (planning ahead)
- critical thinking
- predicting outcomes
- logic and reasoning skills
- and many more.
