Our favorite way to homeschool is through carefully selected read alouds and educational games. I’ve learned that I can cover virtually any topic in this way. The learning and conversation that occurs while reading aloud and playing together can be incredible.
Today, I am sharing our family’s favorite history games.

Just wanted to thank you for sharing all of this information. You are a Godsend! We are truly enjoying the games you recommend and make me, as a mom, feel comfortable with the idea of teaching through play ♡
This warms my heart, Janin. Thank you so much for your sweet words!
Your site is truly a goldmine!! We have so many great games but until finding your site I couldn’t figure out how to fit them into our days/weeks. My daughter got Wildcraft! for Christmas and it wasn’t until today that we first ever played it. ??The only history games we have I didn’t see on your list, but this may be a post way back in your archives and you might have it by now but we love the Go Fish card games from The Classical Historian. I found them walking the aisles as the GHC one year and was thrilled with how much my kids (and I!!) loved them! They offer a memory game too but I can only take so many versions of memory. ?? But maybe that’s just me.
Aw, thank you Sarah! I’m off to check out the games you mentioned!
We like or Made For Trade! A good one to add to the history board games list!
