In charge Teacher’s Report
Board games evoke memories of camping trips, power outages spent by candlelight
at the kitchen table, and weekends with the grandparents. In short, theyre
synonymous with good times with family and friends. However, despite all the
happy memories they elicit, most of us forget to play board games in our daily lives.
But due to COVID 19, many changes came to our world and it took some time for
everyone to adopt the new normal. The Covid -19 impact was everywhere, which
resulted in the closure of schools and other educational institution and the
transition of students and teachers to online teaching learning.
So the objective of taking the activity of Traditional board games is to -
Develop global outlook
Reduce teacher talking time by putting the focus on student interactions
Encourage healthy competition between classmates, which helps build solid
relationships
Hone vocabulary and spelling skills through structured activities
Reinforce material through structured practice
Encourage students to work through challenges
Provide ample speaking opportunities as students work together to solve
the game
Provide a break from traditional lesson structure
Encourage students to have fun – which in turn reduces stress as students
were not getting exposure to the outside world due to pandemic
Encourage creative and strategic thinking
As an Activity Incharge I experienced that playing the traditional board games,
students enjoyed it as well as they got an opportunity to learn about the
different traditional board games of India, China, Egypt, Canada. They made
pictorial albums, models, collage, PPT, charts etc and gave information about
the different board games through demonstration and illustration. They played
the game with their family members and had lot of fun. The desired learning
outcomes were achieved. All the team members have put great efforts to
overcome the challenges and make the Activity Successful……. My heartfelt
gratitude towards our Principal Madam and the IDS team In charges for giving
us this opportunity to design this activity of Traditional Board Games Across
the Wall.
