Homeschooling In Our One Room Schoolhouse: Educational Games that are Actually Fun to Play (PreSchool and Kindergarten)
Don't you like it when you can do activities and games that are educational as well as something fun enough that your kids would ask to play?
We have some that we enjoy that I thought I'd share- also I am hoping that you'll give me some more ideas on others we've been missing out on!
In these pictures the boys are both enjoying the Melissa & Doug Pattern Blocks and Boards our friends got them for Jackson, we've loved them!
Some others that we love are, for electronics the LeapFrog® Leapster® Learning Game System works for both kids, however Oliver will grow into it, and Jackson can pretty much do most of the games we have really well. I would recommend it for 4 years old and up, but as early as 3 years old if you want to be right by their side. The games for these are great and very educational. We have:LeapFrog Educational Game: Kindergarten
, Mr. Pencil's Learn to Draw and Write
, Finding Nemo
, Wall-E
, Cars Supercharged
, Thomas & Friends Calling All Engines!
, Scholastic Clifford
, Leapster Arcade: Cosmic Math
. We bought these when we were going to go on a long trip and they are LIFE-Savers in the car, especially for our oldest since he can completely use the device by himself!!! I was shocked at how educational these really are!
As far as multiple player games go we LOVE Brain Quest Game - Preschool & Kindergarten Edition,any of the Brain Quest cards are really fun, and the Charley Harper Memory Game
.
We are really into floor puzzles as well here are several that we put together all the time:Charley Harper Flash Cards and Floor Puzzles, Melissa & Doug Solar System 48 pcs Floor Puzzle
, Melissa & Doug Giant Fire Truck Floor Puzzle
, Melissa and Doug Farm Friends 32 pc Floor Puzzle
, Melissa & Doug Farm Friends Floor Puzzle - 24 Piece
