Board games have long been a staple of childhood development. There's a host of academic functions being put to use when our children play board games.
Whether it's reading the cards for the next clue, or drawing crazy pictures to describe a word or sentence, the best board games all have a little bit of educational value tucked inside the good-hearted competition of the game.
Youngsters are encouraged to recognize numbers on the dice and put their counting skills to use as they count of the number of paces they can move. Many popular board games let us put our math skills to use to count up all our money and see who's winning!
Board games are also great for developing your child's social skills and manners. Every child will at some point have an absolute meltdown if they don't win, but eventually they will come to terms with fair play, honesty and the value of playing just for fun. Learning to take turns, share and be a good sport all come from a night of playing games with the family.
Some of the best board games on the market today are the same ones you played when you were a kid. Perfect for a week night in or a rainy Saturday afternoon. It's also a wonderful addition to a visit with the grandparents. Everyone stays entertained and has a good time. That's the beauty of board games, anyone can play, anywhere, anytime.
Game night is a great way to bring families together. With the television (and cell phones!) shut off, Mom, Dad and the kids can open the doors of communication that seem to get lost in the glare of computer screens and the static of cellular phones. You'll compete, you'll goad, you'll laugh. Your children will tease you if you fall behind. Someone will do a victory dance when they become the champion of the board game.
Most of all, your family will have fun. And, guaranteed - you will all want to do it again. And again. And again. Once you've made it through the first game, you just can't get enough!
