GAMES LIBRARY |
|
| Several
schools have begun to create their own games libraries,
for use in either classrooms or for lunchtime use
by students. One particular school even has a borrowing
library of games that students ae able to take home
and play with their parents and family, to stimulate
social interaction as well as the skills associated
with game play. |
|
| The
staff at Mind Games Albury will be more than happy
to assist in the creation of such a library for
your school. |

"The
games people play . . . can be so good for kids."
|
| |
|
As
teachers, you know that play is important to a healthy
society and it is getting left behind in today's world.
You probably realise that games are not just fun - they're
a recognized teaching tool and (according to research
for the Chicago Toy & Games Fair) can raise a child's
IQ by up to 16 points.

| Mind
Games Albury has been conducting an "in school program"
of game demonstrations, particularly of those used in
European and United States schools. The program has been
utilized by 15 schools, both primary and secondary in
the Albury-Wodonga region. |
|
| We
have carefully selected a range of games to suit a range
of age groups that teach: |
| |
-
negotiation |
| |
-
decision making
|
| |
-
probability |
| |
-
competitive problem solving |
| |
-
value and risk assessment |
|
|
| and
even help with subjects such as mathematics and spelling.
Our experienced demonstrators will come to your school
free of charge for a two hour session (longer sesions
can be arranged) and help both children and teachers to
learn the value of playing. |
|
| If
you would like more information on this program please
