Why experiential?
Shifting from rote memorization to Learning by Doing.
A child who has built a balanced plate remembers what one is. That is the whole argument, and everything below is what follows from it.
Why experiential?
Shifting from rote memorization to Learning by Doing.
Five things that change in a classroom when a child handles an idea instead of only hearing it.
Understand concepts faster
A child who has built a balanced plate remembers what one is. Handling an idea shortens the distance between hearing it and holding it.
Build confidence through participation
In a game, every child has a turn. The quiet child at the back of a lecture is a player here, and participation is what confidence is made of.
Improve teamwork and communication
Our kits are built for groups of three to six. Children have to explain their reasoning to each other, which is a harder and more useful skill than producing an answer.
Strengthen problem-solving ability
Every kit puts a child in front of a problem with more than one route through it. They learn to choose an approach, not to recall a procedure.
Connect learning with real life
Road signs, food groups, local birdcalls, the weather outside. The content of our games is the world the child walks home through.
