Gwendolyn began her session by playing a game called Headbands. Headbands is not only fun, but inherently educational as well. While playing, students use their deductive reasoning skills with the game's simple yes or no, question-and-answer premise. By making connections and coming up with questions that will lead to answers, students also practice creative critical thinking skills. Gwendolyn did a wonderful job using both her deductive reasoning skills and critical thinking skills. She laughed throughout the game because she thoroughly enjoyed wearing the headband with the mystery card on her head and being able to see mine while I could not. After several rounds of Headbands, we transitioned to a literacy game called Reading Skills Review: Time Machine. In the game, the players stumble upon a time machine and use their reading skills to travel through time. They make their way around the board, reading and answering leveled story cards that propel them from prehistoric times to the distant future. A variety of story cards ask students to find the main idea, use context clues, read for detail, find cause and effect, form contractions, find synonyms and more. Gwendolyn was able to show off her excellent reading skills while playing this game. When she questioned her answers, we worked on strategies like looking back into the passage to search for clues.
