The
Preschool were fortunate to receive a penguin game called Pengoloo by Taylor
for the classroom.
I saw this as an opportunity for children to learn about winning and losing a game and being a team player. They also learned turn taking and having to wait for their turn. The children are learning to count how many penguins they have collected.

For
some of the children it was the first time using a dice. How to roll a dice
required children to use fine motor skills. Many of the preschoolers would hold
the dice in their hand in the hopes that it would land on their favorite color,
whist others would enjoy simply rolling the dice.
I wonder if they felt in
control of the game as everyone at the table was watching and waiting patiently
for a turn.
