Long Description:
In my session, we'll explore the intricate interplay between board games and cognitive functions. From strategic thinking to problem-solving skills, these games serve as catalysts for intellectual development, fostering a nuanced understanding of cause and effect. Beyond cognitive prowess, board games emerge as social laboratories, where children navigate the complexities of interaction, communication, and cooperation. This session will help you understand how board games serve as safe spaces for emotional expression and regulation. Gain an understanding of how the good use of games can promote emotional well-being and constructive outlets for self-discovery in children. Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of how board games can be purposefully integrated into educational settings, family game nights, and therapeutic settings.
