In Mathematics of 1st grade we have
more movement games - such as music
chairs, recognizing and orientating in
space using my body but also board
games for learning numbers.
Total 143 50
13. In Mathematics of 2nd grade we find board
games with motion and logic.Their objectives are
more specialized and the mathematical concepts
are more complex.
18. Some of the theatrical games are
proposed in the “Life Science” textbook
of 2nd grade , which can be played either
in or outside the classroom as well as
some kinetic games like Blindfold.This
book, of course, is structured in such a
way that many games can not be proposed,
but it offers many possibilities for cross-
thematic approaches, actions and
organized educational visits in a natural or
structured environment. It provides
opportunities for experiential and deeper
knowledge of the environment.
21. In mathematics οf 3rd grade, we
find games with cards, with cubes,
with tangram shapes, number games,
games with representation of reality
such as shopping with fake money at
a market, phonological analysis games
for numbers and games proposed to
be played on websites for example
“make five”.
23. In textbook “English of 3rd grade” the
majority of the games lies in board games,
tongue twister and memory games.
Pantomime games, roleplays and guessing
games are very frequent too. Sufficient
variations of Simon Says and I spy with my
little eye as well as puzzles (Spot the
differences, decode the message ) are
regular in the textbook.
25. In the textbook “English” of 4th grade,
guessing games combined with miming are
predominant and abundant in this book.
Numerous bingo and board games are
recurrent. A sufficient range of puzzles such
as Break the code, Crazy pairs, Running
dictation and Treasure hunt constitutes
interesting alternative choice for ESL young
learners.
28. In the textbook “Life Science” of 3rd grade,
although the number of games we met is satisfying,
it could be even larger. There are also units that
do not have games. Games help to improve the
understanding of various issues from different
subjects. The games we met are Role Playing,
,interview, pantomime, theatrical play.
32. The number of games we met in Language
of 4th grade is satisfying but there are
also units that do not have games. The
games we met are role playing, ,interview,
pantomime, theatrical play and hangman
game.
36. The Mathematics books and workbooks
of the 4th grade do not include
enough games and the ones that exist
are of a more constructive nature
(tangram), roll sharing, and the creation
of solid shapes.
40. In the textbook “Life Science” of 4th
grade, even though the number of games
we met is satisfying, it could be even
larger. There are also units that do not
have games. Games help to improve the
understanding of various issues from
different subjects. The games we met
are Role Playing, interview, exchanging
ideas and pantomime.
