Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'importanza dei giochi per i bambini è riconosciuta da tutti. Il gioco è stato alla base di numerosi studi di pedagogia fin dal '500, quando un importante filosofo francese, Michel de Montaigne, scriveva che il gioco è per i bambini qualcosa di molto serio. Giocare significa per loro esplorare, vivere esperienze sempre nuove, capire come funziona il mondo e quindi riuscire ad inserirsi pienamente nella realtà. Anche se spesso non ce ne rendiamo conto. Per un bambino i giochi sono tutti uguali, l'importante per lui è divertirsi e stare bene. Esistono però forme di gioco differenti, alcune delle quali possono essere più importanti di altre per lo sviluppo del bambino. E' questo il caso dei giochi di logica. A differenza di quello che pensa la maggior parte delle persone, l'intelligenza non è una caratteristica innata e immutabile ma è sicuramente l'età della crescita che è in hgrado di fare la differenza. I giochi di logica si configurano come uno strumento prezioso e quasi indispensabile per lo sviluppo e la crescita intellettiva dei bambini. Ecco perché ColorMondo ha ideato e creato: "Il Grande Libro dei Giochi e Passatempi - Giochi Divertenti per Sviluppare Logica e Intuito" Le centinaia di giochi contenuti all'interno comprendono: Mini Sudoku Labirinti Crucipuzzle Composizione di parole Scorri verso l'alto e aggiungi al carrello "Il Grande Libro dei Giochi e Passatempi"!

Download or read book Twitterature written by Alexander Aciman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2009-12-29 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps while reading Shakespeare you've asked yourself, What exactly is Hamlet trying to tell me? Why must he mince words and muse in lyricism and, in short, whack about the shrub? But if the Prince of Denmark had a Twitter account and an iPhone, he could tell his story in real time--and concisely! Hence the genius of Twitterature. Hatched in a dorm room at the brain trust that is the University of Chicago, Twitterature is a hilarious and irreverent re-imagining of the classics as a series of 140-character tweets from the protagonist. Providing a crash course in more than eighty of the world's best-known books, from Homer to Harry Potter, Virgil to Voltaire, Tolstoy to Twilight and Dante to The Da Vinci Code. It's the ultimate Cliffs Notes. Because as great as the classics are, who has time to read those big, long books anymore? Sample tweets: From Hamlet: WTF IS POLONIUS DOING BEHIND THE CURTAIN??? From the Harry Potter series: Oh man big tournament at my school this year!! PSYCHED! I hope nobody dies this year, and every year as if by clockwork. From The Great Gatsby: Gatsby is so emo. Who cries about his girlfriend while eating breakfast...IN THE POOL?
