When it comes to learning outside the classroom, finding the right balance between education and entertainment can be tricky. Kids are smart and can spot a disguised worksheet from a mile away, so how do we make education fun? One of our favorite ways is through educational games. This way, schoolwork can feel more like playtime, just ask any experienced governess! A modern-day governess does more than supervise and tutor. They create engaging, age-appropriate learning opportunities that blend seamlessly into everyday life.
Here are some governess-approved favorite educational games:
Math Bingo
Put a twist on classic bingo by creating a bingo card tailored to your child’s math level! Whether its addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division, sharpening math skills can be fun with this engaging game.
Story Cubes
Boost creativity and vocabulary with story cubes! Grab a pair of dice and add photos of your children鈥檚 favorite things, like dogs or horses. Roll the dice, and whoever rolls must create a story that includes the images they landed on.
