Games for Young Learners

Another example of something that is beneficial to kids, and involves games, is ABC mouse because it is a learning program which involves playing games and solving problems. The certain games included are math games, social studies, a study of the planets, climate, and other activities.

The United States is becoming more and more bilingual every day. It is important for students of the United States of America to keep up with the advancing world. The easiest way to learn a second language is when a person is young. This is why it would be beneficial for schools to start teaching a foreign language in kindergarten and continuing it through twelfth grade. Students are more likely to learn and remember a foreign language if they are introduced to it at a young age. A majority of other countries teach foreign languages to their students throughout their school lives. Most students coming out of high school in other countries are totally

I went home and I asked my children to play one of the games and they liked it. The game had the students engaged because I was engaged when I was playing and so were my kids. The interesting part is that the game is that it could be challenging but that will power of passing to the next level make you keep going. The game is also fun to play and you learn at the same time. Math being a concept that many children hate because of misconception this game can make them change their mind about math concepts. It also can be great for children to interact with one another as they help each other out when they get stuck in a particular section. This activity was so fun and interesting, that I am sure that many children will like it as

An example listed in my article was following the conversation of a little boy and his classmate, both of a different cultural background. The boy was explaining to his teacher how to make a particular dish. He was delighted to be making this pretend meal for his teacher, who did not know much about it. THe child's classmate came over to investagate, insisting that the meal that was being "created" was actually a mango, not "mangu," like the dish native to the first child's heritage. The second child was intruged to learn that mango and mangu are two different things, as her classmate pointed the mistake out cearly. THis ordinary example illustrates how play allows children to teach their peers aspects about their heritages, languages, and families. It opens doors that often remain closed behind language barriers and cultural differences. THey are more than willing to utilize all their knowlege and help explain to us, if we will just listen. As teachers, it is our job to engage along with the child, not direct their imaginative play. We are very welcome characters in whatever game they can create next, and they will be sure to invite us into their

the games that they play with, including puzzle games should be to do with words, for example,

To this end ice breakers, introduction and communication exercisers such as those provided by Brandes and Phillips (1979), Bond (1986), Leech and Wooster (1986) and Dearling and Armstrong (1994) were used. As Dynes describes `[games] stimulate the imagination, make people resourceful and help develop social ability and co-operation` (Dynes, 1990).

Throughout the world technology is advancing. Creating games which involve education would speed up the process of learning and make it easier for kids to solve questions faster. Personally I believe that kids should be playing video games for learning. It would speed up the process because people are online globally 24 hours a day.

[Transition: The techniques in how it teaches the kids are what make it very successful and popular.] III. Right To Play uses play in a way that makes learning fun and enjoyable for the kids, and it’s also very successful. a. Give example of game used to teach about vaccines, tag and malaria, volley tennis and communication.

This can give the teacher other ideas of games that can be incorporated with math. Give a SURVEY and ask how familiar they are with their favorite game(s) and then ask them students to describe their strategy while playing. This will help the teacher understand the students of INTEREST and READINESS to analyze game strategies using mathematics. Students then will pick whatever game INTERESTS them the day of the lesson.

2. Math Games: What did you learn about the math skill you selected? How did creating a game push you to think about supporting this skill in a playful way? How successful was your game in supporting children’s learning of the concept that you selected? The game was designed for the math skill of children knowing 1- 10 correspondents. Creating the game was hard because I wanted to make it easy, make sure it made sense and something the students in the class would enjoy. The game wasn’t too successful for my class because of the six students only two were interested in actually trying the game. It was difficult for one of the students because he didn’t know his colors very well and that made it difficult. The other student did very well at the game but I also expected her to, because she is the more advanced child in the class.

Books: providing an area where the students can obtain books, such as a classroom library and encourage reading through the completion of work (students can read silently), AR testing, motivate the students to read a book then take an AR (accelerated reading)

Since we are in the era full of technologies and electronic devices, it is possible for some students to not know what is a board game. Secondly, teacher should try to attract the students’ understanding about board games. Teacher can introduce the board game that she has prepared. Teacher should briefly explain the steps of how to play the board game that she created. Next, teacher should tell the rules and regulations of playing the board game. While board games has winning and losing, teacher should emphasize and explain the rules in detail so that there will not be any fights or misunderstanding while students are playing the board game. When the students are playing, teacher should monitor and make sure that students speak during their turn. Teachers should always emphasize that making mistakes while speaking is better than they never speak at

Secondly, the audience can play games to improve their memories of the new language. When the audience give a

A textbook is a printed and bound artefact for each year or course of study that contain facts and ideas around a certain subject [2]. They have not a same purpose and focusing. For their usability, the games are various styles of using that they are created for playing in many styles, in examples, video games, board games, and play together in a special rule to enjoy with the games. Textbooks are books or electronic books what are used for reading only same as theories are written or shown into any document. At the farthest, information is read and explained by intermediaries who might be a teacher, speaker, or presenter sound to audiences. In popularity, the games are used for students who child popularly more than textbooks that are often used for students in higher levels. For preparing, textbooks can be read easier more than games that must prepare rules and necessary resources before playing. And the last, as results of their learning, textbooks give important knowledge deeper than playing games that emphasize for entertainments, not focus on teaching for a knowledge as well as textbooks and theories. In additional, the books are existent that there are playing game, so there are more good books that good games [3]. Therefore, some games might be terrible that could interrupt learning of students, if they play in a wrong way, wrong time and wrong

They need to gain exposure to “comprehensible samples of language and they need chances to play with and communicate with the language themselves” (Scrivener, 2011: 23). Students need to talk themselves, they need to communicate with a variety of people, they need to do a variety of different language-related tasks, they need feedback on how successful or not their attempts at communication have been. Using games in teaching creates the opportunity for every learner to use the language much more than in traditional teaching. By creating group work, pair or individual work, the teacher can ensure “that each and every learner has optimum opportunity for oral practice in using language, going beyond what is possible in class work” (Wright, Betteridge & Buckby, 2006:
