How about revisiting all the classic games you played as a kid: “Monopoly” ,”Clue” ,”Operation” ,”Scrabble” “Chess”? Each one teaches great lessons in math, language, strategy, cooperation and competition! Invite friends and family over to join in the fun! It’s amazing the bonds that form when you laugh, discuss and rub in a victory! We love “Farkle” and also recommend the new series of Lego games, especially “Harry Potter.” Of course, there’s nothing wrong with a family “Rock Band” jam session or round of Wii Bowling, either!
