G is for games. We may think of games as play, something children do outside of their education. But in reality, games are often educational and are certainly worthy of inclusion in your homeschooling plans. Whether you and your child play Math War with a deck of cards to learn math, Mancala to develop thinking skills or Rummy Roots to learn Latin, games are ideal educational tools. When you’re researching which books and curricula to buy this summer, be sure to include some games on your shopping list!

Have you seen our 1890s kindergarten curriculum, Kindergarten Stories and Morning Talks with over 125 Illustrations? We reprinted it after adding the original 125 illustrations back in. Read a sample story here.
