In a techno-savvy world, it seems that old-fashioned board games have gone the way of the dodo. But before you put those old games out to the curb, you might want to reconsider the value of playing board games together as a family.
Playing board games is more than just an alternative way to spend TV-free quality time together. From manual dexterity to memory enhancement, board games help to develop skills that are necessary both in and out of a classroom.
And you thought that board games were just a fun way to pass time!
The best part is of playing board games that your kids will be so busy having fun that they won’t even know that they are learning!
Take a look at some of the school skills that board games enhance:
- problem solving
- identifying patterns
- quick thinking
- anticipation skills
- vocabulary skills
- math skills
- confidence building
- risk-taking
- persistence
- deduction
- memory
- decision making
- team work
Take those board games off the shelf and dust them off—they are more than old-fashioned games, they are great learning tools!
