Each group had about 10 minutes to play. As an extra challenge I limited them to 1 sheet of paper, which prompted even more critical thinking as they had to work with the lines they had already drawn and shift the paper.

1st and 2nd Graders Problem Solve with Tangible Play's Doodles
Yesterday and today groups of 2-3 students had the opportunity to engage in some critical thinking and problem solving with Tangible Play's Doodles app. Each group started out at level 1 and quickly progressed through increasing difficulty. I liked that there wasn't a time limit pressuring them or buzzers going off with a "wrong" answer. The open-ended creativity is a plus. Having students work together really promoted communication and problem solving collaboratively.
