Dominoes

A quality set of full-size club dominoes that spin, in a sturdy plastic case.

Traditional games such as Dominoes have many benefits:

• They encourage social skills, such as turn-taking
• Taking a few moments out to play a game shows someone that they are important, and that you care
• Handling and placing dominoes uses fine motor skills and motor-planning
• Dominoes are great for early numeracy - including matching and counting
• Playing games like this allow you to show that it's OK to lose and that we can't always get what we want
• Dominoes can be used to make domino rallies to encourage listening skills and instruction-following. Children learn to conform and behave in a controlled manner - if they don't stack the dominoes correctly, the rally won't work
