Homeschool: Games Galore! (Age 7-13)
Monday, March 13, 2023, 12:00pm - 01:00pm
Location : Mable House Arts Center
Contact : Holly Tate

Kids love games - and for good reason! The child’s full-time job is learning skills that will serve them now, and as they grow up. 

The best designed games develop the whole child: physically, mentally, emotionally and socially. SCORE!

In this fun-filled hour each week, kids will learn 

  • Cooperation, team-building
  • Creativity, innovation & personal expression
  • Aim, focus, balance, speed, agility, motor skills
  • Quick-thinking, problem-solving & strategy
  • Resilience, perseverance & sportsmanship (No losers: We either win or we learn!)

Each week includes both wild movement & calm focus, and a combination of individual challenges, partner play & group collaboration.

And we’ll even make some games you can take home!

Games in WINTER-2 & SPRING sessions will include: 

    • CARD GAMES Learn quick-thinking games War and Speed! (aka Spit) with a goal to get faster each week! (Hey parents: Don’t tell your kids, but this light-speed computation will pay off in math too!) Plus learn a simple solitaire to play alone.
  • BOARD GAMES Test your vocabulary skills with Scrabble & Scattergories
    • GUESSING GAMES  Pictionary & Charades are always favorites
    • STEAM GAMES Build a domino race, a marble run, marshmallow tower & an egg drop!
    • MOVEMENT From human knots to lawn checkers to obstacle courses to Twister… we’ll get you movin’ and groovin’
    • OLD-FASHIONED GAMES What are “jacks”? How do you play marbles? Let’s find out! Plus Tic-Tac-Toe and BINGO of course!
  • GAME SHOWS Copycat versions of games like Wheel of Fortune, Name that Tune and even a Geography Jeopardy (which kids in World Passport class will ace!)
  • DIY GAMES Take home your STEAM creations, create your own DICE and board games - with your own rules
