How were the children’s organising and negotiating skills? Communicating verbally, sharing, waiting, taking turns and enjoying interaction with others are just a few of the important social skills that they can learn through table top games.
Children learn leadership skills and learn to explain the game to other children and help them understand the rules. Table top games help with children’s interpersonal and social skills. For younger children they learn to follow the rules of the games.
