We have been working on becoming better thinkers in first grade. One way we do this is by playing games and solving puzzles. We have been working with a Group Solutions kit that I borrowed from IUPUI. It contains many different activities that the children love to do. We have practiced our logic and deductive skills by playing the Bear Line Up game as well as other ones. Students must work together as a team to solve mysteries and find the answer to the questions. This encourages them to work cooperatively and learn that everyone is needed to be successful. One person can't do it all in order to move on to the next level.
