No olvides que este juego de mesa se juega con el modo presentación de PowerPoint.

¿Quién no ama los clásicos juegos de mesa? Esta es una adaptación navideña de uno de ellos. Tira los dados y mueve tu ficha. Intenta ser el primero en llegar exactamente a la casilla 36 y no caer en las bombas ya que te harán retroceder. Si aterrizas al comienzo de las flechas avanzarás muchas casillas. Si aterrizas en el primer sombrero, te llevará al segundo sombrero, pero si aterrizas en el segundo, te llevará de regreso al primero. No es necesario saberse las reglas pues al caer en una de estas casillas se activará automáticamente la animación que mueva tu ficha al lugar que le corresponda.

Pueden jugar de 1 a 4 jugadores o grupos de jugadores. Mi consejo es dividir la clase en 2, 3 o 4 grupos. Después de cada movimiento de la ficha, trata de responde uno de los 94 acertijos que aparecerán aleatoriamente al hacer clic en las cartas de preguntas. Cada grupo dará su respuesta por consenso y el grupo que la acierte, o que más se acerque a su respuesta correcta, será el que continúe el juego tirando los dados nuevamente. Si el acertijo es demasiado difícil para el nivel de su grupo, vuelva a hacer clic en las tarjetas de preguntas y saldrá una nueva.

Los acertijos son editables y, por lo tanto, se pueden cambiar con preguntas de las lecciones que se está dando, pero no elimine los cuadros de texto si no desea eliminar sus animaciones.

Los acertijos para niños pueden:

Mejora la comprensión lectora.

Les ayuda a concentrarse y prestar más atención.

Impulsa la resolución de problemas y el pensamiento crítico.

Fortalece las habilidades y conciencia lingüística.

Promueve el pensamiento analítico y el razonamiento deductivo.

Los acertijos también pueden mejorar el estado de ánimo de tus estudiantes, hacerlos reír y darles una sensación de logro.
