Games To The Rescue

I like to incorporate games in our studies as learning reinforcement,  however, they also make a great stand in for lessons when needed. As we wrap up our move back into our classroom area, I set out some games for the Professors to work on independently. This morning, I sat down with them and played our Math Sequencing game, since we have spent very little time on Math lately.

Getting Started

This game is a puzzle matching game. You have to match the problem on one card, with the correct  answer on another card. While simplified, there is no pattern, meaning the numbers and colors don't match up, forcing the player to think and work through the problem. The game includes counting, addition, and subtraction problems.

Problem Solving

The Zero Factor

It took some patience, but once the twins refreshed the basic concept of addition and subtraction, Masha' Allah, we had alot of fun working with the cards. Professor #3 mainly did the counting cards. Here is our completed game, Masha' Allah:

Pink Language Series Game

This is not a Montessori game in the holistic sense, but it does reinforce many of our Pink Language Series words. The other words are decoded using the picture clues. The Professors have been enjoying playing this independently, and I got a few snaps of Professor #2 working with it this morning.

Masha' Allah, I love these fun little games. Alhumdullilah, they bring my high strung emotions about what we need to be learning back to earth, and remind me that there is opportunity for learning in many things, and in many ways.
