Games Around the World

During this fall semester the entire class did a class activity called “Games Around the World.” Everyone had to researched games from a chosen different country to bring to class and share. Every one had something fun and unique to share, and we all learned a lot about different countries through their games. We all played the games each one brought. We played some of the games outside the classroom while others we played in the classroom. 

Games are a universal value, and something that can connect us despite our differences. It was fun to learn about background knowledge of the games we played growing up, and apply it to the new and similar games from other parts of the world. Many games had similarities with one another and even to games children in Saudi Arabia play.  

This was a distinguish and fun way to learn about social studies and apply it in a way we could relate no matter what you look like, no matter where you come from. This activity is the best way to teach young children geography concepts.
