Board games - Try them out

Delve into the nostalgic world of traditional board games with an engaging activity that encourages exploration and family interaction. Gather a group of four participants and embark on a playful journey through three classic games: Snakes and Ladders, Ludo, and Battleships. It's important that everyone is familiar with the rules before starting, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience for all involved.

After playing each of the board games, take some time to reflect and document the experience. Discuss among the group which game was the most enjoyable and articulate the reasons for this preference. Was it the thrill of escaping the snakes, the strategy behind moving your pawns in Ludo, or the suspenseful anticipation in Battleships? Extend this trip down memory lane by engaging with older generations, such as grandparents, to learn about their experiences with these games. They might even share stories of different board games from their youth. Bringing these discussions back to the classroom will enrich the collective knowledge of pastimes from different eras, creating a bridge between the past and present through the universal joy of board games.
