By “game” I am referring
to learning through play, active engagement and fun. Students learn through the
process of playing the game. Through play, students may be able to understand a
new concept or idea, take on a different perspective, or experiment with
different options or variables. It provides a context for engaging practice and
students can learn a variety of important skills. It also helps develop a
variety of connections with the content and can form positive memories of
learning. Keeping in mind the importance of learning through games, time to
time I focus my teaching through play and games.
As
I have already introduced the letters of Dzongkha and simple words to be read,
the PP children were provided with two sets of Domino cards in groups. Children
were asked to look at the pictures provided and read the words of domino cards
and then arrange or match accordingly. The group completing first without making
mistake was declared as winner.
The
main motive of this activity is to check how far the children could identify
the letters and read and understand the simple words. Both the groups could
successfully arrange without much mistakes. It was made mandatory that every
children to be engaged in the activity. Thus, it was evaluated that all the
children were engaged actively and almost could read it and understand and able
to make connections.
