Best Educational Board Games
I am so excited to find the best educational board games on the planet. They are award winning and fun! The company that makes the games is called SimplyFun. Here are the reasons why I love the SimplyFun games…
1) Fun, (award winning!) educational games from toddler through adult
2) Each game can be played in under 30 minutes
3) For classroom teachers – They are mapped to the standards
4) They have a section on their website to help parents/teachers/caregivers of children with special needs, including autism, choose which games will help their children.
5) My kids love them and they are fun for me to play with them….and they are practicing learning skills at the same time.
6) Board game directions include information on how to extend or enhance learning AND different ways to play the game to make it more fun.
7) They have videos for most of the games so that you can see how to play each game.
8) You can get them for free! See how to get free board games for kids!
The best way to figure out which board game is best for you is to take a look at the SimplyFun site click on the button that best describes you. (Parent, grandparent, love to play, educator, therapist or autism needs)
They will ask you some questions and then see what games they recommend for what you want and need. If you have any questions, just message me! ([email protected]) I have many of them, so can help! Also, because I help promote and sell these games as an independent contractor, I can help you get these board games for free! Message me ([email protected]) and ask me how!
Anyway, here are my pick for best educational board games.
