In Games class, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Grade are exploring new games that involve quick reaction time, teamwork, strategic thinking, and more. The students also enjoy revisiting and playing some games they previously learned.

Games are like a form of medicine for the social and emotional health of the group. With all grades, we play games to get energy out, especially this time of the year, when the excitement and sugar levels are high. On a deeper level, cooperative and competitive games also help students to develop skills in following instructions and working together. It is easy to see how having set rules allows games to be played successfully and not end up in chaos. Playing together also allows students to work on social issues in the group and, of course, to have fun together.

Warmly,
