Dezvoltarea psiho-emoțională și comportamentală a școlarului mic prin intermediul jocului de masă

Abstract

Games define childhood. Through games, we transmit emotions, learn values, develop our communication skills, we socialize and prepare ourselves for life. More specifically, board games develop patience, concentration, strategic thinking, anticipation abilities and the memory within children; they improve critical thinking and the intrinsic motivation. Board games, or society games, train all psychic processes and give space for desirable behaviors. School has a definite role in the education of children and appears constantly in their growth. By implementing optional classes of board games in schools, we believe that significant changes in the psychological, emotional and behavioral development of the small pupil can be made. Children will learn that there are situations when they need to wait, to have patience in order to build, to accept the others, to train their attention, memory, types of thinking, motivation, etc.
