Assignment:
Use of Board Games in Developmental Learning
I am looking for assistance with the following questions.
Analysis of childhood board game
Game Selection: Lucky Ducks
1. When making this analysis, consider the minimum age that is recommended for children to begin playing the game. The recommended age for Lucky Ducks is 3 & Up.
2. What skills/abilities do children at that age have that they did not previously possess? Why is the game now appropriate for them?
3. What are the potential cognitive developmental components: language abilities; memory skills; letter, shape, color and/or number recognition abilities?
4. What are potential physical developmental components: fine or gross motor skills?
5. What are potential psychosocial developmental components: interactions with others, social skills, relationships?
6. Even though there is a typical start age for games, are there skills or abilities that someone who is older may acquire from playing the game?
7. Are there social implications for someone who is older that may be beneficial to them when playing the game?
