The Seven (7) Areas of Development
Sustainable educational board games: Farm AnimalsAt Between Realms Games, we understand the critical importance of the seven areas of development in early childhood education: communication and language, physical development, personal, social, and emotional development, literacy, mathematics, understanding the world, and expressive arts and design. Our board game, Farm Animals, is thoughtfully designed to support these key developmental areas. Through engaging, hands-on play, Farm Animals encourages children to enhance their language skills, practice fine motor movements, and develop social interactions and emotional understanding. It also integrates foundational concepts in literacy and mathematics, while fostering a curiosity about the world and promoting creativity. We aim to provide a comprehensive, enjoyable learning experience that aligns perfectly with early years educational goals.
Communication & Language Development
Story Time
Providing an environment for self-expression, speaking and listening in various situations allows young children to develop their language and communication skills. The association of words with images, through ‘Farm Animals’, is one of the best practices for the development of language and communication skills.
Understanding the World
Yum-Yum
Understanding the world involves guiding young children to make sense of the physical world and the community around them through opportunities to explore, observe and find out about people, places, technology and the environment. ‘Farm Animals’ offers further exploration of the environment of a farm.
Mathematics
Count Animals
Engaging with arithmetic can enable children, among other functions, to develop and improve their skills in counting, understanding and using numbers, calculating simple addition and subtraction problems and describing shapes, spaces and measures. ‘Farm Animals’ engages children with numbers and the concept of counting.
Physical Development
Track Towers
During the early years, gross and fine motor skills are developed in activities like handling small or big objects. Children can develop their fine motor skills by manipulating the components of ‘Farm Animals’, aiding them in tasks like holding a pencil.
Personal, Social & Emotional
Personal, social and emotional development (PSED) focuses on children developing their self-esteem, confidence, social skills, and emotional intelligence. ‘Farm Animals’ can aid in the development of PSED by teaching children how to take turns, share, and work cooperatively with others.
Literacy Development
Spelling Bee
Literacy development enables children to link sounds with letters, a fundamental skill for developing reading and writing. ‘Farm Animals’ can be a fun and engaging way to help children develop their literacy skills and foster a love of reading and writing.
Expressive Arts & Design
Act Out
Children need to explore and play with various media and materials. They provide them with opportunities and encourage their self-expression by communicating their ideas and feelings. Through ‘Farm Animals’ children can use movement and role-play to develop their imagination further.
