sink the ships
Brand: Dimasa
Reference: 194-7074
Description
The classic game type Sink the ships, where through coordinates you must guess where your rival's ships are hidden! Hit and sunk! Recommended age: +5 years. First of all, the game stimulates spatial structuring. The use of coordinates, grids, respecting a blank space between the boats or the fact of previously placing them in the available space, is a way of stimulating spatial structuring. It will be more beneficial for children with special problems in this regard. The main cognitive benefit of the game of sinking ships is that it develops planning skills. Indeed, this ability is put into play in different phases of the game: first, when the boy or girl has their own ships on the board; secondly, when developing a strategy of how to direct the shots.
Details
Adults can teach children some aspects of strategy. For example, it seems that it is more effective to place the large ships (the four and three) close to the edges or sharing the strip of water around. In this way they reduce the "water" squares they occupy. He can also be taught to follow a certain tactic when shooting. For example, how to search the blank squares for the largest ships first.
The game helps to systematically control one's trials, noting them in the corresponding quadrant. Although it may seem unimportant, it helps children with more difficulties in this regard.
Finally, it is a very basic game to work on respect in "taking turns". In addition, it helps to internalize how these turns have some exceptions, for example when one of the shots is "hit" or "sunk".
The sinking ships game to print is a simple game, without great no hassle and no chance to break rules: the rules are very simple. It can be played anywhere and only requires two players. In the case of children with difficulties the second player can be an adult, but two children with problems can also play.
I hope that this game can always help you in your educational work and that your children or students like it.
