Top 10 Language-Based Board Games for Elementary Kids by “The Unlikely Homeschool”
Jamie of The Unlikely Homeschool is formerly an elementary school teacher, as well as an employee of one of the nation’s leading homeschooling curriculum, ABeka Book. Now a dedicated homeschooling mom, Jamie offers suggestions, tips, and an insiders view to the world of homeschooling.
Recently, Jamie offered her Top 10 Language-Based Board Games for Elementary Kids list including the Youve been Sentenced! word game. Heres brief excerpt:
If given the choice between learning vocabulary words via a worksheet or learning those same words and countless others while playing a board game, my kids…and I’d venture to say almost ALL kids…would choose option B.
For this reason, I’ve tried to stock our game closet full of family-friendly, brain-building games that can serve as the much-needed “jazz hands” to an otherwise run-of-the-mill homeschool lesson.
In addition to the Youve been Sentenced! word game, here are the rest of Jamies top picks:
- Blurt- Educational Insights
- Buzzword Junior- Patchwork Products
- Scattergories Junior- Milton Bradley
- In A Pickle- Gamewright
- Boggleor Boggle Junior – Parker Brothers
- Bananagrams- Bananagrams
- Apples to Apples Junior- Mattel
- Balderdash Junior- Western Publishing
- Outburst Junior- Mattel
