Play is one of the best ways for our children to learn. With these board games, students will be predicting the other player's next move, seeing the effect each tactic causes, practicing different strategies, and planning their next move. When their strategies don't work, they will be forced to problem solve and try new strategies. A lot of times our students have the mindset that they can't do something or that difficult tasks cannot be done. Playing these types of games can teach students that the brain is a muscle and can be strengthened with practice. I want my students to have a growth mindset, believing that they have the ability to make their brain work better by practicing those difficult skills. I plan to use these board games with game days. I will schedule special days for my students to come in just to play games. However, at the end of our class time, I will require each student to write down 1 tactic they tried that worked, 1 that didn't, and 1 that they saw someone else use that worked. I am hoping that by explaining their tactics they can see their growth as they become better problem solvers and strategists each time. This knowledge will help them in every other area of their education.
