Project: Sports and Games. Board games

Board games are learning and fun packaged in a little box. Whether the game is one of chance or strategy, life lessons and social skills come into play with the mere throw of the dice. We can learn and enhance basic skills in the casual and friendly atmosphere of a game.

                  There are different types of board games. Most board games are based on either luck, strategy, knowledge, or a combination of all three. For example, Chess relies on strategic moves, whereas Monopoly has an element of both luck and strategy. Candy Land relies on drawing the right colored card, clearly a game of luck. 

                   Board games are both educational and entertaining. Fun is one of the key ingredient of successfully learning new ideas are often accompanied while playing games. Playing a board game teaches vital social skills. There is an exciting atmosphere of communication and competition that encourages verbal expression while cultivating traits of patience and persistence. The attention spans of young children can be strengthened by focusing on the game, as they need to remember the rules as well as when it’s their turn to participate. The element of luck in some board games highlights the uncertainty that often surrounds us in life, but also sends a firm message not to give up.

                   In conclusion I want to say that for me the biggest advantage of board games is time that I spend either with family or friends. I think playing board games help us to know each other better, trust each other and last but not least have fun.
