Tabletop board games have been a part of human culture since about 5,000 BC and have been a staple of family gaming for centuries.  Not only are these games a fantastic way to spend one's time, they are also layered with great opportunities for capacity building.  Boards by Bodhana takes this leisure activity and promotes the development of key skills through careful selection of titles that will provide fun while also building the fundamentals you need.  We find the right games for the right reasons.

 

Groups utilize modern tabletop gaming, which features various titles that include natural immersive play.  The mechanics of modern games allow us to work on skills like resilience, critical and creative thinking, and core STEAM subjects.  Board games also provide organic ways to work on many soft skills like conflict resolution, social interaction, teamwork, problem solving and communication.
