Students must analyze and match the correct domino pieces. This game appeals to visual learners (pictures) and kinesthetic learners (handling and placing dominoes).

Add fun by setting a timer and challenge small groups to complete the domino chain as quickly as possible. This adds excitement and focus!

Print the puzzle for the students to repeatedly see and connect written playground words with visuals, strengthening their ability to recognize and read new words.

A simple spelling activity to play in pairs or small groups. Use the game to promote teamwork, communication, and turn-taking, building social and conversational skills.

A dice and the game board pieces to start. Students will answer questions about the pictures on the cards of the color they landed on. This improves their ability to describe, name, or use vocabulary in sentences.

Students practice constructing sentences, reinforcing proper word order and grammar using playground-related vocabulary.
