Using games as a learning tool<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Children love video games. And it is a well-known fact that games are a useful tool as teaching support. You can use them to help teach numbers, letters, math, and why not sign language? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These claims are not just anecdotal. Research shows that the use of games in the classroom helps increase student engagement, promotes social and emotional learning, and motivates students to take risks. In addition, research has found that virtual games can improve attention and concentration in students with ADHD and help students with dyslexia improve spatial and temporal awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One big advantage of creating a connect the dots game at “Oh, My Dots!<\/a>” is the ability to print the games. If you don’t want to distribute them as an online activity, you can download the printable PDF and give it to the kids as a worksheet.<\/p>\n\n\n
