Silly-Silly-Bo-Billy, Banana-Fanna-Fo-Filly…THE NAME GAME!

(Note to editor: don’t even bother spell-checking this one!) Oh what fun the name game can be with a preschooler still learning words, sounds, rhythms and rhymes. This is, quite possibly, my oldest girl’s favorite pastime right now. She is mildly obsessed with taking every single family member or schoolmate’s name, animal, food item and proper noun she has stored away in her brain and running it through the semi-famous and ever-enduring Name Game! The Name Game is simple and fun to play. Start with smaller, game-friendly words and names like Mickey, Billy, etc. Soon your kids will get the … Continue reading →

Sequence for Kids – Game Review

Posted on by

I bring absolutely no knowledge of Sequence to the (game) table. I have heard of, but had never played, the standard edition of the well-known board game and until it was given to my daughter as a 3rd birthday present I had no idea there existed a Junior or “Kids” version. Despite the box entering our home nearly four months ago (my girl turned three in early March) we have just recently started to play Sequence for Kids. I am already at the point where I am requesting that we play Sequence for Kids – I love this game that … Continue reading →

Scrabble as a Learning Tool

Spelling is a topic my children don’t enjoy. Spelling lists, spelling tests, marked up pages, correcting the words they missed – they would just as soon not, and I would just as soon not put them through it. Spelling is a crucial life skill, however, and I’m determined to give my children a good start down their path of success, so we invented a new take on the game of Scrabble. My children, at ages 10, 8, and 5, are fairly young to play the game as it was invented, so we do it the Pinkston way. I help all … Continue reading →
