Last Friday couple of friends and I went down to EK Powe Elementary School to help out with a game night. It lasted for about two hours and was quite fun. We played a bunch of board games and had an incredible game of Scrabble that lasted the majority of the time. My job there was explain the rules of the more complicated games and to keep the kids entertained and engaged. Everyone was nice and it was seemed like all the kids really enjoyed it. This was an excellent example of how games can be great learning tools. Scrabble is good for helping kids use their vocabulary and spell, as well as, using math to count the points. There was a game that taught kids how to find patterns. Some kids played Clue which teaches you how to use logic and the process of elimination. Volunteer work is good for the community and can teach you life lessons. Doing something nice for someone else is always a good way to contribute to society.
