It’s been a year since I published this post, and I have been receiving a lot of inquiries about another Gameschool Challenge.

(I promise I will do one this winter, but I am not quite ready yet!)

In the meantime, there is no reason why you can’t use the prompts from last year for this month or next. I still follow the hashtag every week!

We are a family of gameschoolers and I firmly believe that children are happier and more receptive to learning when they have ample space for play in their day. Not only that, but families make memories together around that game board. Board games provide a safe space for children to learn new skills, practice skills, and build confidence. Today, I’m sharing 100++ fantastic gameschooling resources so that you can add more play to your homeschool day!

Want to see the games we are playing (and the books we are reading) each day?

It can be expensive to build a game collection, but one needs not wait until your game closet is full to enjoy games with children. Truly, all you need is an imagination and desire to play. Add a deck of cards, dominoes, or dice and you are good to go!
