 Back to School Board Games
This set contains 3 color board games
that are ideal for students to get to know each
other at the start of the school year.

These games are perfect for the first days of school. The games assist students
in getting to know each other and while they play they are also using
communication skills of speaking and listening. As the students play they will
also be practising cooperation skills and turn-taking. This provides a valuable
opportunity for the teacher to observe students interacting with each other and to
observe the students communication skills.

Preparing the Games

The board games can be printed on cardstock and laminated if desired.
The games can also be printed on cardstock or paper and put in a sleeve
protector.

Players will require dice and counters to play.

Using the Games

Getting to Know You These games are ideal for a center activity. Have the
children read the instructions themselves if possible as this is a great reading
comprehension activity.

Display on Smart Board The games can be projected onto your smart board
and the class can be broken into 2 4 teams to play.

Fast Finishers The games are a perfect activity for those children who finish
their work early.

Students as Teachers - A worthwhile activity is to have children learn how to

play a game and then teach it to others. Teaching others how to play is a great
communication activity.

PLEASE NOTE: The version with correct spelling for the

UK, Canada, Australia and NZ, commences on page 8.
