Competition is a great thing. 

Whether its board games, sports, or even academics, healthy competition helps prepare kids for life’s challenges as they must exert effort for results, stick with things even when it gets tough, and learn to manage both success and failure. 

If you have kids yourself, you have probably seen first hand that losing gracefully does not exactly come naturally. And if you watch professional sports, you know losing is not something made suddenly easy in adulthood. 

Losing gracefully, as with most things, starts in the home. Teaching respectful sportsmanship in the home is of great importance and board games are a great place to start and continue learning those lessons.

Growing up, memory games were always some of my most favorite. 

I remember my mother telling me how when I was just a little kid I would play game after game of memory matching against her until she could no longer beat me. To this day, I still love to play them and now have the pleasure of playing them with my own children.

I believe that memory games are not only a fun game to play, but also an incredibly useful educational tool to help young minds learn. So I’m always on the lookout for great ones to add to our shelves, and luckily for my children, the selection is far superior than my glory days of “guess and flip” tiles. 

Now they have games with a working carousel! And yes, it sounds as amazing as you’d think!
