Help Sparrow Schools Educational Trust by Donating board games for for our learners to use
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Once a week our learners are encouraged to participate in board games like chess, ludo, monopoly etc. Playing board games have many hidden benefit such as: * Even simple games help young players identify colors, count spaces, and develop hand-eye coordination and dexterity in moving cards and pieces around the board. Plus, learning to wait your turn and follow the rules are important lessons *Board games are an easy way to encourage healthy brain development in older kids and teens. Strategy games are useful in helping the frontal lobes of the brain develop. Frontal lobes are responsible for executive function skills, which include planning, organizing, and making good decisions. * Board games are a good way to encourage kids of different ages to team up and work together — something they'll need to do throughout life *Board games help anxious kids learn how to navigate friendships more easily.
