The SOILYMPICS activity in the SOI department this month was “Four-in-a-Row”. This game uses fine motor skills, encourages basic counting, enhances visual and perceptual motor skills, boosts strategic thinking capabilities, improves cognitive skills, develops confidence, teaches competitiveness and how to handle associated feelings/emotions, creates a quick thinking mindset, enhances problem solving skills, teaches the importance of planning/thinking ahead, develops the skill of noticing patterns, and it’s fun!
