Creating Boards Games in Primary 6
Primary 6 have been creating their own board games, working in groups of four. We planned our games then began to make them. Our next step is to finish making them and then spending an afternoon playing our games.
We also had to write a set of rules for playing our games, ensuring fairness for all.
We have used our HOTS skills and META skills when completing this task.
Mrs Hannay and Primary 6 can’t wait to play these games.
