Did you know board games are a great way to help teach and reinforce key math concepts? Board games can be amazing educational tools and many are excellent for helping kids develop important math skills! We’re sharing some of our very favorites! 

Whether you have a budding book worm or a reluctant reader, games are a great way to help kids practice their developing reading and comprehension skills.

Rule book reading, in game storytelling, or even creating your own original tale, there are lots of great games that fit into this language arts category.

We’re sharing a list of some of our favorite games that encourage reading to help you find one perfect for your scholar!

Well, apparently I have been living under a rock because I have never played Rummy before. Thanks goodness for Mindblock to bring me up to speed!

This timeless looking new take on a classic game is lovely. What I love most though is how perfectly it can be used in education!

Storytelling is part of our daily routine with our children. 

Whether its reading a book aloud or making up a story of your own, telling stories is one of the most important things you can do to promote your child’s future reading ability. 

We love to read and incorporate creativity storytelling throughout the day. One of the ways you can do that can be through games. There are a great selection of games that encourage storytelling or incorporate it into the game itself. 

One of our current favorites, (and a beautiful game to-boot!) is Fairy Tile.

Playing board games has the wonderful benefit of not only being fun, but also intellectually stimulating. Among the many valuable attributes of games, through playing, kids and teens can learn valuable social skills, practice good sportsmanship, work on math skills, and increase their reading comprehension.

I believe many games can be used in unique ways to provide educational experiences for the players. But few games provide such a great system to foster educational and STEM focused lesson opportunities in a fun, non-traditional setting as Gridopolis.
