Once your child’s spelling skills increase you can even cover up the word and practice spelling it on their own. This is a game they can play by themself or with a friend. This game focuses on building concentration and memory skills both of which are critical for academic development. 

Crocodile Hop Floor Game is a fun game for kids that is lifesize! In this game, kids will practice finding colors, shapes, and numbers as well as use their problem solving and gross motor skills. We love that this game also helps teach kids to follow simple instructions.

Kids roll the dice to reveal suspects as well as find clues along the way. This game teaches strategy and problem-solving skills as well as learning to work with others towards a common goal. This game takes about 20-30 minutes to play. 

My First Castle Panic can be played alone or with up to 4 players. It is a fun independent game that kids work together to catch the monsters and throw them in the dungeon to protect the castle.

While playing this game, kids will practice matching colors, shapes, strategic thinking, planning ahead, and taking turns. This game requires no reading making it a great game for kindergarteners with limited reading skills. 

Another great cooperative game is Engineering Ants. In this game, kids will work together to free all the ants and get them to the anthill before the anteater arrives.

Kids will have fun working as a team as they play this STEM-based learning game that encourages inventing, designing, and building. 

Clumsy Thief Jr is a fun game where kids get to develop confidence while reinforcing math skills. In this game, players are constantly swapping hands of cards as they search for 2 cards in their hand that add up to 10. Beware of those thief cards that can steal your stacks of 10 from you!
