Our Favorite Boardgames
Eleanor is three this year, so we have finally introduced her to one of our family’s favorite pastimes - board gaming! Here are the three home run board games we play with Eleanor:
ORCHARD
This is easily our favorite, since the wooden pieces of fruit give the perfect realistic touch and the game play never gets stale.
Skills: collaboration, rolling a die, classifying, matching
ROLL-A-SAURUS (not pictured)
Eleanor is not quite old enough to play this full out, so we throw the game in order to allow her to have a chance. Every round ends in make-believe dino roleplay fun!
Skills: competition, rolling a die, matching more than one trait at once
COUNT YOUR CHICKENS!
This one is hard to play a lot as it's really about the repetition of one-to-one counting, but it's cute and Eleanor enjoys the game while getting in the counting practice!
Skills: collaboration, spinning, counting
