Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Playing games in the classroom employs logical deductions, solvers can unlock the secrets hidden within even the most perplexing scenarios. Logic problem games are a captivating way to introduve and exercise deductive reasoning and sharpen critical thinking skills. When playing board games, students are required to think strategically, plan their moves, and make decisions based on the current situation. This process stimulates the brain and improves problem-solving abilities. Games such as Clue, Guess Who, Uno and systematic card games are engaging examples, and are renowned for their ability to enhance critical thinking skills.
