NOODLEBORO GAMES INTRODUCE SOCIAL SKILLS
As a mom and educator I believe we are living in a world where values and social skills are in danger of being extinct by the media and sometimes our own believes that “they” our children will learn on their own. But hope is not jet lost. Last week I was able part take of an event where we were introduced to Hasbro’s new line of games that will be launching this summer. There are three different games and they each focus on a different social skill; there is “Learning to Listen Pizza Palace Game”, “Learning to Share Fun Park Game” and lastly “Learning about Manners Picnic Basket Game”. These games are a great opportunity for children to learn to share, listen and say thank you. It comes with a book that tells a fun story that lives out the different situations where simple manners and skills are put to the test. It also comes with a CD with the story telling of the book and songs that complement the game. I found it to be the perfect way to reinforce these important values in a fun and easy activity that kids together with parents will enjoy. Let’s not forget that children learn by play and who better than their parents to teach them to have fun.
