  • Snake and Ladder Games in Cognition Development on Students with Learning Difficulties
    ORIGINAL RESEARCH ARTICLE Snake and Ladder Games in Cognition Development on Students with Learning Difficulties K. Srinivasan Department of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, CKS Teja Institute of Dental Science and Research, Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, India Email for correspondence: [email protected] ABSTRACT Introduction: School students play an important role in oral health care and promotion. Learning in these institutions becomes ineffective unless it leads to a profound change in student’s behavior and attitude toward the improvement of their own personal health. The usage of various suitable learning mediums in teaching and learning oral health enhances cognitive development of the students with learning difficulties. Aims and Objective: The aim of the present study was to assess the effectiveness of snake and ladder game on the level of knowledge regarding oral health knowledge, attitude, and behavior among school students with learning difficulties. Materials and Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 children, aged 7–9 years who were recruited in this study from the schools. A quasi-experimental pre- and post-test with control group design was adopted. Results: The total score was calculated based on the response to each statement. All variables of the questionnaires are analyzed by age. Differences were assessed by the “t” test. SPSS, version 21, were used to process and analyze the data. The significance level (P-value) is set at 0.001. Conclusion: The present study implies that the play way method of teaching children with snake and ladder board is an effective intervention to increase the knowledge of oral health among children.

Commonly referred to as a combination of volleyball and four-square. It is played 2 v 2, with a Spikeball net placed between the teams. A player starts by serving the ball down on the net so it bounces up at the opponents. They have up to three hits between them (like volleyball) to control the ball and bounce it back off the net. When they miss, you score. Once a point starts, players can move or hit the ball anywhere. Giant Snakes and Ladders. Like the classic board game, except your bodies are the tokens! Each player takes a turn rolling the dice. They then move forward the number of spaces shown on the dice. If you end up at the bottom of the ladder, you climb up and if you end up on a snake, you move down. The first player to the “HOME” space wins! Dual Walkers. This is your opportunity to team up to win. Using the dual walkers, each team must walk from point A to point B by using hand ropes to lift boards and move forward. Similar to a three- legged race, the first team to make it to the finish line wins! To make the game more fun, have the teams navigate through obstacles.

  • Five Millennia of Player Practices
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Bolton Institutional Repository (UBIR) Five Millennia of Player Practices Dr. Chris Bateman University of Bolton Deane Road Bolton BL3 5AB Abstract What can we learn about play by examining it from a historical perspective? Using Foucault’s archaeological methods to examine the history of player practices in terms of their artefacts, a series of cross-sections through five millennia of play are developed around the key props (in Walton’s representational sense of this term) that have been deployed in games. The specific patterns considered are the contract, the die, the board, the pawn, the set, and the coin. In each case except the first, a material object serves a prescribed role in play, requiring players to imagine specific things that make certain kinds of games possible. The changes in the representational aspects of these props demonstrate both the continuity of player practices over time, and the significant changes that have emerged over the last few centuries. Keywords Foucault, Walton, Caillois, player practices, lineages, boardgames, prop theory, magic circle A History of Props for Play For some time now, I have been inadvertently pursuing a philosophical history of player practices across the last five millennia, that is, from the foundation of the first cities (the advent of ‘civilisation’, understood specifically as civic living) to today. What follows is a history, since it deals with a span of time, but it is also genealogical in so much as it resembles Foucault’s (1972) archaeological methods of analysing discourse.

  • American Games: a Historical Perspective / by Bruce Whitehill
    American Games: A Historical Perspective / by Bruce Whitehill istorians investigating board games of the world have traditionally examined ancient or early games, using artifacts, drawings, and available text. From this, Hthey hoped to learn more about the cultures in which these games flourished, how the games moved from one territory to another (trade routes), and how they chan- ged and evolved in different cultures. Traditional classic games such as chess, checkers (draughts), Mancala, Pachisi, Mill (Mühle or Nine Mens Morris), Fox and Geese, and the Game of Goose, among others, have been studied in great detail by many scholars. Some of these games were played on quite elaborate, carved wooden boards, and, as such, they were available only to a privileged few. In the middle 1800s, however, advances in lithography and in techniques of the mass production of printed matter allowed games to be commercially produced in large quantities. They were also inexpensive enough to be affordable by the less affluent. This meant that games could reach a larger portion of the population, and become a staple in more homes. What purposes have games served in society? Were they recreational or were they intended as educational or instructional instruments? And who manufactured and sup- plied these games to the public? In the United States, a study of games poses one immediate limit for the researcher: the term “ancient” hardly applies to a country that was not formally “discovered” until 1492. Well into the 1800s, most board games played in North America were of European origin. Culin (1907) lists the board games played by the American Indians under the hea- ding “European games,” though games he categorized as “dice games” are actually board games that use dice to determine movement.
