I make simple board games related to the concepts being taught in class.I create theme based games i.e number games and dice games on card paper in coloured print outs and finally laminate them for long lasting use.These games are designed one step higher than routine lesson, so,progression in their learning is also assessed through these learning games.

I motivate my students to use their text book articles to create questions and develp their own board games. They have a lot of fun, become very creative and review the class material almost unconciously.

Chess can also be integrated into math in bringing interests into math. A life of love to learn when children know how to play chess. We can make math worksheets much more interesting by integratiing both math and chess together.

Hello Adetunji, in Canada, most of these games are available widely at stores like Walmart, Sears, The Bay and other department stores. You can also play many of them online. Yahoo has many word games: games.yahoo.com/word-games Scrabulous (very similar to Scrabble): http://www.scrabulous.com/ Joe

Our private school have started using this game: it teaches everything to our young boys: http://www.redbaronshop.co.uk The Air Knights This is excellent for 9 year olds and above: they learn how to make the board, pieces (planes) and they learn history. The rules make it a very challenging game yet very simple. I highly recommend it.

As a teacher, Pass the Bomb is a big hit with my kids. Kids love the excitement of having to create a word before the bomb goes off. When it comes to learning, nothing beats fun.

Rummikub is an excellent game of math and number combinations. You make your own combinations and then take the game pieces of others to complete more combinations. Available at Toys R Us.
