Board game based learning at pre and early primary grades provides non-competitive environment for development visual-motor, literacy and numeracy skills

Lalit Kishore

Board games offer  immense opportunities for early learning across ability spectrum for development of visual motor skills, cognition as well as literacy and numeracy skills if used systematically, stated Jaipur based educator Dr Lalit Kishore whose abstract was accepted for an international conference in Hawaii of the United states.

Accoding to Kishore, even neuro-scientific studies suggest that board games develop brain by activating its frontal lobes through non-verbal strategic thinking, performance of executive functions, anticipation, attentiveness, waiting for the turn, rule learning along with development of eye-hand coordination and dextercity of hands.

He adds that the board games related to sight-vocabulary, numbers, classification, matching, spelling and many more can be played up from pre-primary to grade two level for their learning and therapeutic advantages. Being chance games, they result in better bonding and help children to become happy losers.

In Conclusion

Kishore (2026) advocates for board game-based learning in early education to foster a non-competitive environment that boosts visual-motor, literacy, and numeracy skills. The approach emphasizes low-stress, structured play to enhance social communication and academic fundamentals through tactile, interactive methods.

An ink attack at Jantar Mantar and aftermath

Image
 An ink attack, which involves throwing ink at a rival, celebrity, politician, or public official, is typically intended to humiliate the target, attract media attention, and convey feelings of hate or disagreement. Such actions undermine democracy and hinder the potential for constructive and meaningful discussions. They substitute logical arguments with cheap publicity stunts. This type of attack goes beyond rational discourse and peaceful debate, creating panic as it may involve hazardous chemicals. However, when a government supporter targeted Abhijit Dipke of CJP at Jantar Mantar, he and his supporters managed to handle the situation calmly, preventing social unrest. A limerick  Young Dipke, a chap quite astute, Was ink-attacked, a messy pursuit. He stayed calm and meek, As the attacker woman did shriek, "Blue's my color!" he said, with sweet hoot.
