You can do more strategic games for older children using a file folder, a path and skills cards as the playing pieces. Just use a file folder, colored stick on dots (make a few another color that require moving backwards, loosing a turn or going forward extra spaces, and skills cards of your choosing (review math facts, history facts, phonics rules, etc. Decorate for a specific theme or leave it relatively blank to be a generic game board.
And another great review is that the kids can do the matching games and test you to see if they did it correctly. We have a color matching game with kites that he'll put down wrong and test to see if I can get the right answer. It's great to play "Stump-the-Mommy" |
