Monopoli: challenge

# data[].attributes.body
I used to play board games, puzzles and mastermind.

# data[].attributes.body
This board game was one of my favourite. Very simple, similar to snakes & ladder, consisting of a challenging path with obstacles and constraints, where the winner is the first who manages to get to the end.

Cari Birikini,

ritornate ragazzini o bambini degli anni '70....Sicuramente uno dei passatempi più gettonati era il gioco dell'oca; nessuna abilità, nessuna strategia possibile e una buona percentuale di fortuna permettevano di raggiungere la vittoria.

Eppure quanto affascinava giocarci?! Probabilmente era merito delle vignette raffigurate...

Da dove deriva questo gioco?

Il gioco dell'oca ha origini molto antiche: pensate che esistono riferimenti in alcuni documenti pervenuti dagli egizi e dall'antico popolo cinese. All'epoca le caselle venivano realizzate in legno o argilla. In Italia, le prime testimonianze su "Il gioco dell'oca" risalgono al 1580, quando Ferdinando I De' Medici ne regalò uno al Re di Spagna Filippo II. In realtà prima di denominarsi semplicemente "Gioco dell'oca", si chiamava "Il nuovo e molto dilettevole giuoco dell'oca". Riguardo alla storia del regalo, non ci sono testimonianze dirette ma solo un'immagine che venne stampata in quel periodo a Venezia. Riguardo al nome alcuni ipotizzano che il gioco si chiamasse così perché in premio al vincitore veniva offerta un'oca.

Infatti l'oca è un simbolo fortunato: chi si ferma con la propria pedina, raddoppia il proprio punteggio.

Pensate che a Mortara, vicino a Venezia, viene praticato il Palio del Gioco dell'Oca: nella piazza cittadina viene sistemato un grande tabellone; a giocare e a fare da pedine sono persone reali.

Gli anni '70 diventano il decennio d'elezione per il gioco: grandi e piccini si divertivano a lanciare i dati per tentare la sorte... Questo è uno dei giochi che i bambini d'oggi devono riscoprire!

We can build, we can use in math classes with some adjustments, for example,  the board is divided into parts where students are taken to build something.  For example, make the connection between the planning of a solid, a solid or  other issues.

You can't beat good old Connect 4!  A great intro to thinking games like chess, it probablyhelped with logic, spatial awareness, forethought, patience, many aspects of maths... I loved it when I could see that my opponent and I were well matched such that I/we had to force a draw. How coukd it be used today... Maybe in something like PE to model the importance of knowing and reading a game/sport...

# data[].attributes.body
Monopoly and Cluedo were a couple of my favourite board games.  I also like the strategy games such as battleship.
I think that we should encourage children to play board games and cards.  It develops collaboration and turn taking which is beneficial for children today as online games can sometimes isolate them.

# data[].attributes.body
I found that chess is a very good for stimulate logic. Maybe i'm wrong but i think that chess is especially a oneself challenge more than a challenge to two players and is not threatening for the guys. By the way i'm a terrible chess player but i still like to play this game.

# data[].attributes.body
Trivial Pursuit, Taboo and Pictionary are the best for me. Trivial is good to challenge general knowldge and if you play in groups could be more engaging. pictionary could be a good tool to work on summary ability (you have to "translate" concepts in a sketch)

# data[].attributes.body
I loved Mikado: as you learn tactics and fine motor skills.
As I said earlier I loved Memory for its practice and improving short memory
and Canasta for its tactics and strategy skills improvements.

# data[].attributes.body
I loved.. and feared Monopoly. Really helpfull to start counting... but at such a price: lots of fights around the table !

# data[].attributes.body
I love Scrabble cause it makes your brain boil and be really creative to figure out the best, and also correct words according to the dictionary.

# data[].attributes.body
I like Cluedo a lot because it involves many intellectual activitiesI thinking, memorise, guessing...

# data[].attributes.body
Les loups-garous de Thiercelieux.

When learning numbers in English:))

# data[].attributes.body
Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit , Taboo.
Taboo can be used as a vocabulary game to improve vocabulary and communication strategies. It is very useful when teaching foreign languages.

# data[].attributes.body
I love to play monopoly and some time agora my students made a kind of monopoly to the biology class in witch instead of buildings they got parts of the cell.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to play monopoly when I was younger. I haven't used it in my teaching but I think I could create my own monopoly and create tasks for children to move on and win points.

I used to play this game a lot when I was a child. In my lessons I use this game for writing activities. After filling in all the chart the students choose one word from different sections of the game and write a story.

# data[].attributes.body
Monopoly is my old time favorite.board games can teach important social skills such as communicating verbally, sharing, waiting, taking turns, and enjoying interaction with others.

# data[].attributes.body
I use this site

It allows students to access games created by others or to build its own game

As I've said before, one the many games I used to play with my friends were Monopoly.
But the one o became more challenging...

# data[].attributes.body
My favourite is pchełki- fleas. Great to develope manual skills and coordination

# data[].attributes.body
Like Carlos, I used to play Scrabble. I agree with him that is a very usefull game to spell and to improve lexicon. But I remeber also the work to well calculate the score. Indeed the score (with 2/3 letter score or 2/3 word score) follows the rules to solve math expression, without exponents.... It would be a nice assignment for students.

# data[].attributes.body
I loved monopoly, domino and playing cards. All of them can be used in classroom with different purposes such as counting, making strategies, learning combinatorics...

# data[].attributes.body
I used to play Monopoly. It's a classical game that a teacher can easily adopt and transform it to his/her teaching needs. Instead of buying roads and squares, students can buy "knowledge" relative to the subject.

# data[].attributes.body
I love this game and have spent hours playing with my sister. I would use it to develop logical thinking and strategic planning. Can't wait to play it with my 2-year-old son!

# data[].attributes.body
,,Chess"-its a boardgames very useful for students!

# data[].attributes.body
I played a lot of bordgames e.g. : let's take Monopoly, popular at that time. We could play in a foreign language ... Here's an edition for Dutch/The Netherlands :

# data[].attributes.body
I played a wide range of boards games as a child and still enjoy playing board games as an adult.  Almost all board games can be used to teach English (I've used the card game "uno" to practice numbers and colours with beginners) and invented my own trivial pursuit board games as well as others.  In fact, I use board games a lot!!!

# data[].attributes.body
When I was a kid my grandma taught me to play checkers, cards games like solitaire and a game to find out the opponent's 5 letter word. Many board games, dominoes, and Top Trumps can be adapted for the classroom to practice or reinforce different subjects.

# data[].attributes.body
I 'd like to talk about a game I started play just ten years ago so not as a a child: it is called Taboo. It is based on guessing a word which can be related to different topics without using "taboo words". It is really funny and it helps thinking. It is very good for learning how to talk properly using sinonimous. I use it in  class when I want to help my students increase their communication skills. It's really good. Have a try! You will see. You can prepare cards by yourself or...better...with the help of your students. In this way you works on language and on thinking skills!

many many hours..

When I was younger I used to play with my brothers to the game of the goose, I enjoyed so much, ordominoes.
I am in class I never did play my students to game of the goose but the dominoes: with letters of the alphabet or learning how to read and write their mother tongue or English; with bullets or numbers in mathematics etc ..
I have noticed that they have fun, and I realize that it is a great tool for teaching and learning.

# data[].attributes.body
An indoor game that I loved was UNO. It stimulate strategy, maths skills and relationship

# data[].attributes.body
I used to play a lot with paper dolls and used to design their clothes. they can be used for art projects, role play, and storytelling, very effective in the language classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
I use to play with my students a memory game in my English class, with pairs containing images and the corresponding words. They enjoy it very much and I was amazed about how quickly they managed to learn vocabulary words this way. I recommend this game, you only need a set of memory cards.

# data[].attributes.body
I love "les Mystères de Pékin"

It is a game of puzzle solving and investigation. In class, he would allow the students to develop problem-solving strategies.

# data[].attributes.body
I loved "battaglia navale", I can translate as Battleship: there are two players, with a grid where they put their boats, and the aim of game is to sink the boats of the other player. It 's a game useful to develop logic and memory.

At Christmas time I used to play the " Goose Game", it is an indoor  game;  it is useful to learn numbers an to develop oral skills you have to give instructions and the other player have to do exactely what you say. Her are some pictures

# data[].attributes.body
Chess for concentrating...
Playing cards for counting, strategy..
Board games like Monopoly, Africa's star etc for concentrating, strategy...
All kinds of  guessing and word games like Is it big?

# data[].attributes.body
What I still enjoy playing the most is chess for its strategic character and the combination of imagination and logic at the same time. These elements, I think, can be used in a classroom as key components to promote students' success in school.

# data[].attributes.body
Indoors I loved to play Monopoly with my friends. I believe it really helped establishing relationships, besides it included strategy, taking risks, money management, Maths.

We also used to play “STOP”: a game with different word categories played with the alphabet. I still use this game in my English classes to revise vocabulary (animals, plants, places, colours…,).

# data[].attributes.body
I loved chess & backgammon from board games as a child because of the strategy development & social fun.

# data[].attributes.body
I played RISK. It gave me an idea of strategy and some kind of skills in geography.

# data[].attributes.body
I played Monopoly a lot and this could be used both to foster maths competence when dealing with money and linguistic and social skills when ongoing the game.

I liked to play cards, which forces us to train the memory to remember the cards that partners had used and use the best strategies to win the game at the end.

"Mensch, ärgere dich nicht!"

When I started to leave childhood games slowly changed towards the so-called "table games". The list is very long: MasterMind (a powerful logical game, useful for maths), Cluedo (a thriller game), Scattergories (in its box or in the improvised version, called "names, things and cities", it improves language competences and the mental relationship between names and concepts), battleship, Monopoli, Lego (usually by myself, it improved the technical intelligence and creativity), Subbuteo (I still play it with my son!!), and so on...

# data[].attributes.body
I remember myself while playing 'STOP' in other words 'names, animals,plants'. It is a kind of word game which includes different categories and the players need to find a word for each category according to the alphabet. It was fantastic because it required to think in every category and that was good for memory. This game can also be used in foreign language classrooms.

# data[].attributes.body
Lego, all the time! They are all the rage now in education, so it wouldn't be difficult to find a learning opportunity. Chemistry, maths, robotics, everything can be made with legos!

A nice game that I played recently is called "Lupus in Tabula - Werewolf: it's a party game with role cards and werewolves to catch. I played it with my students who enjoyed it very much because of the social dynamics involved.

# data[].attributes.body
I'd like it very much because i played with my firend, there were competitions, ability to contract, knowledge of value of money, and so one. In classroom it's possible in group use this game in order to increase life skills.

# data[].attributes.body
I played very often in RISIKO.

As a child I liked playing card games, Trivial Pursuit, Taboo and Cluedo. I liked Trivial Pursuit because I was always learning something new, card games and taboo because it was fun and cluedo because one had to think to solve the case.

# data[].attributes.body
I like playing in Cluedo with my family because we must reason and store the information of others to solve the murder.

# data[].attributes.body
I remember playing Monopoly (and to be honest we still play sometimes). Well, monopoly includes everything, strategy, discipline, obey, management resources, business thinking, taking risks, Math and i think that it is a great game in order to engage yourself, your friends and your students in all these subjects.

# data[].attributes.body
I played card games like Mau-Mau, a game my grandmother taught me.
Board games that I liked were draughts and nine men's morris.
I think the latter can teach students  concentration and strategic thinking.

# data[].attributes.body
We used to play STOP  or with other words "names,animals ,plants", a game with different word categories played with alphabet.It is very useful to keep students engaged ,to revise some topic ( geography,language,botany),to cultivate swiftness and only by pen and paper.

# data[].attributes.body
Other than card games, I played Battheship and Monopoly and Glory, Trivial Pursuit later. The games engaged me and my friends (forgetting time). The developed the strategy thinking and general knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
I played a loBUt, I also played of cards with my father and somebody already mentioned that you can learn some basic math with cards. I also played Monopoly (buying-selling items) and I sometimes still do with my kids. Our favourite game at the moment is Chess and "Who am I?" plus "Alias" - when you need to quickly guess several word/language terms with your partner and you play against another pair or pairs. It's good for practicing vocabulary and I tried it out in my classroom for revising Vocabulary of certain units with my students. It was a competition and the best team won! :)

# data[].attributes.body
I used to play Battleship with my brother all the time.This game could be used in mathematics in order  to help students understand coordinates.

# data[].attributes.body
I played a lot of games such as Monopoly, Clue, Trivial pursuit, Snakes and ladders,... as well as STOP (a game with different word categories that is played with the alphabet.
As a language teacher this is a very useful game because we can revise any topic in a very fun way inside the classroom without any particular material, only pen and paper, and keep the students engaged. this can be used as an individual game or a team game.

# data[].attributes.body
Cards are always present in a teenagers life, that life before facebook and smartphones I mean!
Monopoly was another game. Cards mean concentration, strategy and obviously monopoly means dealing with money, strategy, thinking ahead among other skills very useful when learning.
