Following the success of the two The Italian workshop books, this box offers a series of fun games which reflect the four foundations for teaching Italian: Speaking, Reading, Writing and Linguistic reflection, and Vocabulary.
These games for children can be used with various aims:
– for discovering and experimenting new concepts and/or new skills;
– for consolidating and strengthening concepts which have already been acquired;
– for stimulating the cognitive and executive functions which form the basis of problem-solving skills, the use of creativity and of divergent thinking;
– for integrating with others by developing social skills whilst respecting given shared rules;
– for engaging and stimulating different learning channels, activating the multiple intelligences of each one;
– for transforming learning (knowledge and skills) into competences;
– for positively managing large and particularly heterogeneous classes in respecting learning times and individual work times.
Suitable for: ages 5-7
The games in the box aim to explore and experiment with certain skills and concepts deemed to be qualitatively important for developing linguistic competences in children in their first two years of primary school:
