What do you pull out when you want to play school rather than teach? Ten Educational Games That Enhance Your School Day because you can substitute these games for a lesson once in a while. They offer you much more than Monopoly or Connect 4. You will be learning about electrical circuits, to business conglomerates and from food chains to famous battles. These games cover math, science, social studies and language arts.
Make sure you set extra time aside when playing these games as they may take longer than the lessons you usually use in your classroom. Although using variety in your homeschool will keep your students from getting bored and fighting you during class and complaining at the work you give them.
You should be able to find the Games at any toy store, or you might contact a store specializing in Homeschool Curriculum to see if they carry the games. Also, when your at a local store like Walmart you can look for the Games. Or retail stores and Garage Sales. For me, I plan on checking our Half Price Bookstore to see if they might carry these games.
If I can not find them, then I can shop online through Amazon or search Google for the Games. Also, ask your friends and family as they may have some of the Games. Or schools sometimes have sales at the end of the school year, and you may find some of the games for sale through these sales.
