Our family plays a lot of board games. Ever so often I have someone comment that they didn't know kids play board games anymore. So I thought I would share what our favorites are.
First off one of the reasons they play so many board games is that this is something that can be truly enjoyed by different ages. Since my kids are all spread out age wise, board games are something they can do on regular basis that is fun for everyone.
One thing they love (That I guess isn't really a board game. LOL) is UNO. UNO is fun! We all enjoy playing it and even my four year old can grasp the simplicity of it and play along with a little help. The other great thing about UNO is that it is small enough to fit in mom's purse or a backpack. So it can go anywhere!
Another great multi-age game is Guess Who? This game is loved by all my kids and our original one is about worn out. (The kids are saving up their money to buy the new version!) This is fun for them to play together because it takes logic and reasoning, but since they are just trying to figure out which person the other player represents in the game it is still simple for my little man to join in and play.
Sorry is a great game for the whole family too! If you can count you can play Sorry. (With help at least.) Although you have to be mature enough to be a good sport when someone sends you home! Sometimes that is an issue for me! LOL
So I asked my kids what their favorite board games are and this is what I was told:
14 year old (boy):
1.Stratego
2. Clue
3. Monopoly
4.Guess Who?
7 year old (girl):
1.Guess Who?
2. Sorry
3. Monopoly
4. UNO
5. Hi-Ho Cherrio
4 year old (boy):
1.Hi-Ho Cheerio
2.Guess Who?
3.Sorry
4.UNO
5 Go Fish ABC game
I can honestly say I enjoy playing all of the above games. I think most homeschool families probably do play board games. But, if you are not I highly recommend it! It is great for building all kinds of skills like math, reading, logic, patience, etc. Plus it's just a lot of good clean fun!
We have homeschooled our children from the start and we love every minute of it! This is my place to share my thoughts on homeschooling, my kids and living for the Lord. All the while being a little outside the box!!
