Teaching critical thinking


Recommended Posts

I really love games for critical thinking. There's a lot to be said for having to strategize how to win, while keeping your opponent from reaching his own goal of winning. Connect 4, Qwirkle, Rat A Tat Cat, Zeus on the Loose, Gobblet Gobblers, and Sleeping Queens are all well-loved here!

I'll second Jackie's games idea.  DS at 7 learned to play Catan Junior, Battle Sheep, Dragonwood and King of Tokyo, all of which required him to figure out a strategy to maximize his potential for winning whilst still keeping me from winning. Sadly, he was very successful at this!
