Learning Resources was kind enough to send us a board game to review and I wanted to tell you our thoughts on it. First though let me tell you about Learning Resources. This company is not just an online store but also has retail stores all over the country! They are not just for teachers and educators but also for parents and of course perfect for homeschooling parents! Going to such a store for me is like a kid in a candy shop! I love their dedication to helping children learn and helping those caring for children to understand the needs of play as learning. There are so many teaching tools to be found on the site and in the stores but the best parts for my family are the fun things to play with! Be sure to to follow the Learning Resources facebook page to not miss sales and tips!
The game my husband and I played with our 7 and 5 year old children is called Wild Word Adventures! Shipping was very quick and packing was good! Set up for this game didn’t take long at all. Play is simple, everyone picks a 3 to 5 letter word and as they go around the board they answer questions and collect letters to make their word. The first to collect all the letters for their word wins. We played a few times. My children didn’t find the letter part at all challenging but the questions where good and made them think. For older kids I think it would be great just to use the question cards in circle time or what not. The board game is bright and there is nothing complicated about it. Choose short words or long words really depends on how long you want the game to last. The kids did not often get a question wrong making the games rather short. Who ever went first tended to win. Of course being creative and changing the rules isn’t hard either and we like this option, specially with this game. I would recommend this game for preschoolers and maybe a little bit older. Be ready though to change some rules if your children find it too easy or get board of moving around the board in a circle over and over.
There are many learning tools and games to be found on Learning Resources site and of course in their stores. The holidays is a great time to fill children’s lives with things that will help them learn and have fun at the same time!
