Question by Mary P: Do you use HOME-MADE educational games in your homeschool?
I love using home-made educational games and have made well over 1000 games while teaching my three children. I am now working with my grandsons. I also teach workshops on making games for learning. I would love to hear about educational games others have made and use in their homeschool.

Wow, you ought to put a book together and sell it through Rainbow Resource or something! You are really creative and motivated! Good for you!

When my kids were in preschool/kinder/lower elementary we played lots of games. I mean, LOTS OF GAMES. Many of them were home-made. Some of them were just action games. My sister’s kids are a little ahead of mine so she would give me ideas and send me things to make. She still will occasionally play games with her kids, and they are 13, 15,and 17! I cannot remember the last time I played a game in school with my two, who are grades 7 & 8 now. At some point my kids realized it made the day longer, and rather than sound out the word then do whatever, they’d rather just sound out the word then have more play time at the end of school. This was fine with me. Also, their subjects got more challenging and time-consuming starting in about 4th grade, so games sort of fell by the wayside.

I think that Abeka now has a packet of games for about $ 10 listed with their preschool or kinder stuff, and if my kids were little I’d probably buy those, too, because we played all kinds of games and it would have been nice to have games that I didn’t have to make every bit of them myself. If you do make a book, rather than just giving directions, it would be nice if you had some reproducibles in there. HINT HINT!
