In the “River Crossing” game, the student is tasked with leading a boat in a river and transferring animals and items of a food chain from one shore to the other. The student needs to be careful not to crash the boat on rocks that exist. The child will improve visual-kinetic coordination and the graphic-kinetic skills through using this game.
Depending on the difficulty of the game which the teacher or therapist can adjust according to student level, the passage for the boat becomes narrower or wider. This game also presents a cognitive challenge where the student problem solves the river crossing puzzle with various combinations of items from the food chain. This promotes both critical thinking and an understanding of how the food chain works.
