Learning through Games

My students need interactive ways to engage in subject material in class. Games, including 4 of the Carcassonne Basic Games, 3 Risk Games and 2 Axis and Allies 1941 Board Games, are an excellent medium to learn and have fun.

My Students

Do you remember playing games as a kid? Monopoly, Checkers, Risk? Games are just as engaging for kids today as they always have been.

My students play some games, but most of them are online.

These single player games do not foster the social interactions that help make board games such an exciting experience. A few of my students enjoy playing chess or Magic with each other but would benefit from learning to play other games.

My Project

Games are a great learning tool. In addition to strategy, board games are useful in engaging with geography, history, economic theories, land use, human settlement, and more. My students will use these games in economic classes to learn about trade and comparative advantage and in history, to learn about ancient civilizations and war. It is my intention that with these games my students will better understand the concepts and history we are learning in class.

Games help kids learn life skills such as how to win and lose graciously.

Games allow students to interact with the material and experience ideas first hand. These games will help the concepts we are learning about in class "stick" with the students.
