Recently, we were assigned the task of creating board games to promote a deeper understanding of the physical, emotional, social, cognitive, and spiritual aspects of health. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Making board games was an enjoyable way to consolidate what we have been learning in PDHPE and we were pushed to think critically and creatively and collaborate with our peers. Working in groups, we came up with creative ideas for our games, with concepts including &#8220;Let&#8217;s Get Physical&#8221; and &#8220;Cognitive Party&#8221;. All groups worked hard to develop entertaining board games which captured the idea of their topic. The classroom was filled with laughter, learning and friendly competition when we had the opportunity to play our peers&#8217; board games. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It&#8217;s always exciting to participate in hands-on activities that excite us! Not only does this make the learning process more fun, but it also helps us to develop important skills like teamwork, communication and problem-solving. Each board game was unique and engaging in its own way. The games our classmates designed will no doubt enhance our understanding of how to properly look after our physical and mental wellbeing.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By exploring the five dimensions of health through games, we all gained a more comprehensive understanding of what it means to lead a healthy lifestyle.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<h6><strong><em>Zoe De Sousa and Sabrina Ghoubar<br \/>\n<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>8PDE7 Students<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read about this fun PDHPE assignment&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","class_list":["post-11912","article","type-article","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/11912","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11912"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11912"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
