Word Domination helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Flexibility

Adapting and adjusting to changing conditions and expectations.

Word games like this one require a lot of flexibility. The player wants to receive the most points possible. This means they have to try new things and not just use the first word they see or the same words over and over. They also have no control over what letters they draw or what words the other player will place on the board. That means the player also has to be able to adapt to obstacles and cope with change. They can have a great word or plan and then draw the wrong tile or the opponent might use the spot the player wanted. To get the highest points possible, the player has to be flexible.

Time Management

Being efficient and aware of our use of time and effort.

This game also requires the player to practice meeting deadlines and keeping pace. Since each game is only five rounds long, the player has to keep a steady pace of getting the most points in every round. They also have only 75 seconds per round to find the best word. This means that if they don’t keep these two deadlines in mind and keep a strong, steady pace on points, they will easily fall behind. They can even lose their turn entirely if they don’t have a word submitted by the end of the 75 seconds.
