As a immigrant in Canada, I think essential skills are very important at work, home and in the community.

Playing board games demonstrates the essential skill of Working Along With Others

Playing board games demonstrates the essential skill of working along with others.  Word, memory and educational board games helps cement social and friendship skills for our students. The bonus is vocabulary development. Working together and thinking are essential skills.
