Today, I would like to chat about the best Christmas games for your winter gameschooling.
But first, the backstory…
Years ago, before I even realized we were gameschoolers, I used board games to survive a long and painful winter. (That old post is dreadfully outdated and unbelievably boring, but I’m sharing it here today because it was the beginning of a beautiful winter tradition.)
Little did I know I had started our first-ever gameschool challenge.
That one painful winter changed the course of our homeschool forever.
Now, we cannot imagine a winter without a gameschool challenge. In fact, we can’t picture a wintery afternoon without a board game by the fire!
If your children are over-the-moon excited for Christmas, you’re going to love the resources in this post!
Today, I am sharing some of the best Christmas-themed games for your homeschool holiday season. From Christmas games, to wintry-themed fun, to party games and conversation starters for gatherings, I’ve got you covered!
