Game Plan for Learning

As a new convert to homeschooling, with very headstrong 3- and 5-year-old daughters, I learned the value of using games to teach everything from health and safety to times tables. My children often resisted my attempts to teach them using formal lessons, but I could always get them eagerly involved in a game. As time passed, games became vital to combat the frustration my girls encountered in learning to read.

Sierra Madre Games

Homeschoolers have probably helped keep board games “alive” throughout the past 25 or 30 years, when computer-based games threatened to take over in-home entertainment.

Traditional homeschooling families take a dim view of long hours of T.V. watching and computer-screen gazing – at least among younger children – so board and card games usually take center stage for night-time entertainments. If they have a mental or learning aspect, they are definite shoe-ins.

Classic Wood Brain Teaser puzzles & Games

Wood puzzles have been around a long time. They were a common form of entertainment prominent in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s when people finally had a little extra time and money. With the advent of radio, motion pictures, Television, Internet, etc., traditional puzzles slowly faded into the background, emerging occasionally with specific hits like Rubik’s cube.

Elemento™ - A Fun Way To Learn

Elemento™ provides a recreational way to learn the Table of Elements. Elements are substances or materials that are composed of only one type of atom and are essential for the study of chemistry and other branches of science.
It is well-known among many homeschooling families that the best way to learn something – especially something which has memorization attached to it, is by making a game of it. Elemento™ does just that – you are so busy playing the game that you do not think about what you are learning and committing to memory. After just a few times of playing Elemento™, the elements’ relationships, symbols, functions and atomic weights begin to sink in; if one really dedicated time to playing the game, the entire table could be memorized in a fairly short time.
