The homeschool movement is growing, and there are lots of games for them to use in their educational pursuit. Connect with the homeschool families at your library in a fun and easy way, by establishing a game program. We will highlight board, card, and role playing games that will serve as educational as well as fun attractions for your homeschool community. We will also discuss how to start a program, where to get games, how to advertise, and funding resources. Presented by Beth Pintal (Librarian, Indianapolis Public Library), Kyle Schenetzke (former Teen Librarian, Hamilton County Public Library) and Kasey Panighetti (Librarian, Indianapolis Public Library).
A teacher & parent discussion for helping to understand how to find & run games for kids (Board games, card games, RPGs).
Description:
Given the current education system, and how much play children are NOT receiving, it is important to understand how we can help in this area. This is a seminar set up to help parents and teachers find games, run games, and change up games to help their classroom and children. This is focusing on younger children (Ages 3-1st grade). A variety of games will be presented, ideas given on how to use them, and questions will be answered from the attendees. This will be a hands on and interactive seminar. The goals is to give a good base for finding and using these tools, getting information to parents and teachers, and learning why the skills used during gaming are important life skills for future use.
