Other Games 1

In this quest I'm to play an online poker game, Chinese checkers board game, and Yahtzee dice game, and comment on how these games might be beneficial to my curriculum.

Each of these games bring in skills that teachers are required to teach like probability, chance and strategy. These games can also offer a way to relieve stress in some students, especially if the student doesn't like to learn in a traditional way.
