Thinking Dominoes

Thinking Dominoes is a fun game and much more.  It goes beyond being a pleasant way to pass the time and provides important thought and educational value.    

 

Thinking Dominoes was developed by an educator as a teaching tool to encourage learners to think on a super-ordinate level and to help them organize the information they have about the world.  And most importantly – to have fun while they are doing it.

 

Thinking Dominoes consists of 48 domino cards with 12 concepts/categories and 48 specific examples. On the top half of  each domino appears a category name.  On the bottom half is displayed a picture of  something from a different category. 

 

 

   

                                                                

 

Players match concepts with specific example of the concept; by always placing a picture half next to a word half, or vice-versa.  For example "season" on one Thinking Domino card would be a match with a picture of "summer" or any of the other three seasons shown on other Thinking Dominoes cards.

 

 Thinking Dominoes (דומינו חשיבה) is illustration-based with Hebrew words. Instructions are provided in Hebrew and English.

 

 

 Thinking Dominoes works on many levels.  For example, the concept “city” matches to four cities, and the four cities are the four holy cities of Israel . Players are led to explore new areas and new knowledge

 

 

Each concept/specific example provides an opportunity to talk about the concept and the specific example – the game encourages thought and conversation!

 

 

Appropriate for ages 6-7 to adult – players on different levels gain different value from Thinking Dominoes!
