Some people love the winter months and some people despise them. I fall anywhere in between, depending on the day and the weather and the health of my little cherubs. No matter how you feel about winter homeschooling, I have an idea for you: winter gameschooling!
Today, I would like to chat about the best board games for your winter gameschooling enjoyment!
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 (That old post is dreadfully outdated and unbelievably boring, but I’m sharing it here today because it was the beginning of a beautiful winter tradition.)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!
(Just look how *little* he is here!)
If your children are over-the-moon excited for the wintry months, you’re going to love the resources in this post!
Today, I am sharing some of the best winter-themed games for your homeschool holiday season.
