Educational Board Games

Kids love games, but in this fast-paced digital world we live in, educational board games are often overlooked. Learning board games can be fun and useful tools in the classroom and in a homeschool setting.

Classic Educational Board Games

Introduce your kids to some old favorites, like Scrabble, which has players rearrange their chosen letters to find new words that can connect with letters of already played words and Pictionary, a game that has players convey the meaning of a word without using letters but instead by drawing pictures.

New Learning Games

Add some new educational board games to your old collection as well. Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader Board Game is a game taken from a popular television show. This game tests your knowledge of trivia based on a 5th grade level.
