Board Games
Board games have one thing in common… a playing board. The composition of the board, the markings on it, even the size of it will change based on what you’re playing, but the existence of the board won’t change. The most common board format is square, it’s used by the old standby games such as chess and checkers, as well as popular modern games like Sorry or Monopoly.
Some board games give players control of a single piece, like the game of Life does. Others, like Checkers, give the players control of an entire team. Still others, like chess, give each piece the player controls special meaning and different ways to impact the game. Board games are played for entertainment and diversion, although they are also used to teach children.The educational value of board games lays in teaching children things like strategy and planning. Like other forms of play, games teach children to do things that they can’t learn in a classroom setting. Social skills, critical thought, and creative thinking are all difficult to learn from a book, but easy to pick up via games.
