tinkgumby Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merylvdm Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 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) Meryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cougarmom4 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Memoir '44 is a bit similar to Risk, but it is about battles from WWII. Ds 12 loves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
