My family loves games of all kinds. We enjoy plaing card games such as UNO, Swap and Phase 10. Board games are another favorite. I bet it's the same way at your house.

 But have you ever considered making your own games to go along with a schooling theme or to teach skills? Games are easy and fun to make. Paint sample cards from the local hardware store make great "spots" to move along. Anything can be game pieces - milk jug lids, beans, pennies or you can make those too!

I am including the links to a farm animal theme donimoe set I made for my daughter. You can print, laminate and play! This is a fun way to spice up a farm unit. Older kids can make these games to give to younger siblings.

I hope you enjoy this as much as we will. I will be posting more game tips, ideas and ready to make games soon.

Have fun,
