In this episode of The Relatable Homeschoolers, we’re talking all things games. We define “gameschooling,” but we also talk about our favorite games, games we use to support learning and building basic skills like math and spelling, games that make great gifts and games we take on the go so we can pull them out of a purse or backpack to ease moments of waiting, such as at the doctor’s office. Do you use games in your homeschool or for family fun? What are your favorite games? Hopefully we’ll inspire you to check out some new ones!
