SHARING A GAME TOGETHER..
WHAT DID YOU NOTICE, DID YOU
BOTH TAKE TURNS?
“Yes, me and my daughter had a go at
the Ocean Maths game and we both took
turns and helped each other.
My learning tip to share is 'always listen
to your children when learning because
they have got thousands of more ideas
than us'.”

“Sharing at home 3 & 5yr olds playing
with blocks..
- Conflicts happen such as „I need the
red circle block‟ against „I need it too.‟
- Tried to let them sort it themselves
- Came to agreement of swapping the
square instead of the triangle.
- If they could not sort out the conflict
themselves, then the consequence was
to end the game.”

“Yes we did share a game together. It is
very good thing that everyone should
do. This makes them organised.
They learn to be patient until they get
their turn and also enjoy and
concentrate in the game or work they
do.”

“A good technique to remember things is
to build a connection between them(e.g.
could be in the form of story, link with
something that is close to you already,
build a pattern). This way forgetting can
be reduced.”

“I played snakes and ladders with my
son. Initially he did not like the idea of
going down the snakes, but I explained
that the game has a fun element to it, as
you don't know who is going to win until
the very end...so kept going.. we have
played it often now..
He has got the concept & enjoys the
game.”

I noticed that my daughter could now do
mental additions as opposed to using
fingers to count. When playing involves
numbers it improves their numeracy
skills. Doing mental practice (starting
with smaller numbers) is very important
and should be the focus as they grow
up.”
