jay i just posted the 21 bust card game along with maybe a memory game like blankets also things like monopoly for the older children may also help children the grasp the concept of money management and business


i hope this is useful

i was thinking this..if the game entails educational purpose an d maybe consent from the parents is granted then really there should be no problems in using such interventions in the learning environment

ilse i was thinking this but i am thinking of a simple addition game, like 21 bust otherwise known as pontuns...its a game whereby the dealer deals out 2 cards, within which the children have to make up 21. each card is its own value eg 5 is 5 and queen, king and jack is 10 points...however, the ace...

yes this is exactly my concern...however, i am a strong believer in making learning more interseting for the children. as this will encourage the children to want to learn and enable to understand certain topics

what do you think?

raakhee

i mean i think some games that the children can go hoem and try and also relate to should promote interest in the subject right?

raakhee

well the class may get out of hand or not?
