class=\"nome-cognome-autore\">HOW TO USE THE DECKS?<\/p>\n<p class=\"maggio23\">Teachers presenting the card games to the class can  organise the activities in many different ways. For example they can:<br \/>\n  &bull; set aside <strong>an  hour a week for &laquo;didactic games&raquo;,<\/strong> where the children can freely choose what  games to play, can split up into groups and play by themselves. Here the cards  are used more as a revision and consolidation tool than a learning tool.<br \/>\n  &bull;&nbsp;<strong>Put the card games in the classroom alongside  other activities with the same objective, which children can choose  independently.<\/strong><br \/>\n  &bull; Use the briefcase of cards as a <strong>&laquo;filler&raquo;,<\/strong> to engage children who have  finished other didactic activities before their classmates in playful revision.&nbsp; Some games have been specifically designed  for this reason, like self-correcting patience games that each child can use  independently. <br \/>\n  &bull; Present the games in <strong>unstructured free periods, like break or lunchtime<\/strong>, leaving it up  to the kids to decide whether to play or not.&nbsp;  Self-correcting is an essential element in the games involving just one  person; as you are not always able to assess whether you have done it  correctly, it lies with the material itself to give the player confirmation. In  this respect the games presented follow a well-established principle led by  Montessori, who, in designing his material, held the fact that an adult or  third person was not necessary because the child could understand if they had  done it correctly or not in high regard. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- END ROW --><br \/>\n<!-- START ROW --><\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\">\n<p class=\"nome-cognome-autore\">IN CLASS, AT HOME, ON A TRIP\u2026SO MANY POSSIBILITIES FOR PLAYING AND HAVING FUN TOGETHER!<\/p>\n<p  class=\"maggio23\">The decks of cards contained in the briefcase are not only to be used as  teaching tools for the classroom.
