Mastermind is one of my favorites for teaching logic.

 

Chess, of course!

 

Set - a card game where you make sets based on matching attributes

 

Blokus - super-fun game sort of like multi-person tetris, where you try to be the last to fit your pieces on the board

 

It occurs to me that most of our favorite games revolve around shapes, matching, and logic. I'm sure that should tell me something . . . :001_smile:

Two of my Squidoo lenses have categories for games

 

http://www.squidoo.com-teach-geography has some great geography ones, and http://www.squidoo.com/teach-economics has economics ones.

 

Other good ones are Artshark (art), Blurt and Bible Blurt (language and process skills), 24 (a brilliant math one!!!), Password and Taboo (language skills), Scrabble (spelling).

 

I would give a thumbs up to Set and Quiddler which have been mentioned before.

 

We have a lot ... I will post again after I've been downstairs to look at our shelves where they are stored. My youngest is 9 and oldest is 19 and we all play all these games (with 2 others in the middle)
