Jigsaw Puzzle Competition (4/1/2013)
It is said that jigsaw puzzles have educational
value to some extent. Puzzle solving has many benefits like enhancing the
cognitive development of the child e.g. making a decision, memory and problem
solving. It also teaches the child how to be patient and persistent. Through
these exercises, the recognition, retention and restructuring skills of the
brain are put to extensive exercise and test. So we at Orchids, also plan
activities for the physical, social and mental growth. Owing to the above
mentioned importance, we conducted Jig Saw Puzzle competitions for our students
on 04/01/13. Jigsaw puzzle is one of the activities that keep the brain active.
Jigsaw puzzles are great for reading readiness.
These skills involve spatial recognition, spatial co-ordination, and
matching. Puzzles are fun way to improve fine motor skills, hand - eye
coordination and social skills. During the competition children enjoyed each
and every moment. They had fun and were completely involved in the activity.
