Playing board games with young children is a powerful learning tool disguised as fun. They help to build foundational social-emotional skills like turn-taking, sharing, and emotional regulation. They reaffirm every day skills such as counting, color recognition, and pattern matching. Board games also encourage screen free play with family and friends.
I love bringing out board games for the children to
experiment with. There are a great many
available, old classics along with some entertaining new games. Even if a child is not ready to play the game
according to the written rules, it is fun to watch them interact with the game
pieces in imaginative ways.
Some board games available at my library:
-
Pengoloo
-
Chickyboom
-
