brijen97 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 (edited) MY daughter loves Uno, Dino Dice, The Secret Door, Monopoly Jr Disney Edition and Balloon Lagoon currently. We are also trying to learn to play chess together! I forgot!! We are all enjoying camp too. It has a couple different levels for the questions so Maddie can play with Poppa the expert and neither are bored.

againes Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 When my kids were young we loved the Games for Learning books by Peggy Kaye. There are several...Games for learning...Math...Reading...etc. They are books that teach you to make games for learning particular educational goals. I loved it because sometimes we constructed the game board together and sometimes it was just learning the rules and we could play fun math games while waiting for the car or doctor. It helped me make learning more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
