I tried to make my last day with the girls exciting. This time I started with Uno. At first I came into the library expecting to play the actual game with them. As I gave directions I noticed that the rules may have been a little too complex. Anna is only five, Yeona is only three, when I was choosing this game, that fact hadn't dawned on me. (the age label on the box would have given me a clue!)
To keep the fun rolling, I had to be creative. What could I do with a bunch of Uno cards I thought? They were already eager to play. After collecting all the cards it all finally came to me. I would teach the girls how to play the Matching Game! This I thought would help them work on their numbers as well as colors. It turned out being a huge success. Anna would help me set up our play area, and we would flip our cards. When two matches were found the person gets a point. Who ever has the most matches wins. The directions for this game were much more simpler than the ones for Uno, Im noticing how teaching sometimes pushes you to quickly revise your plans. Im thinking what helps with this is staying connected to the students and always considering their abilities.
