Board games foster thinking across domains: mathematical thinking, language & literacy, social-emotional development, physical development and, approaches to learning.
When children play boardgames, they practice critical skills, such as:
-Using language (with adult interaction)
-Counting with one-to-one correspondence
-Subitizing ("seeing" a small number of objects - like pips on a die - without having to count them)
-Performing simple operations (e.g., dividing cards evenly, adding one more)
-Reasoning/ problem solving (mathematical reasoning, and reasoning about moral problems)
-Identifying patterns & attributes (colour, shapes & sizes)
-Taking turns
-Following rules
-Planning
-Patience, persistence, risk-taking
-Fine motor development
