Board games, we all know, are a great way to reinforce
counting skills.
One of my FAVORITE board games as a child was...
counting skills.
One of my FAVORITE board games as a child was...
...The Uncle Wiggily Game.We played it so much that the game fell apart.
So, my father recently purchased the game again,
so he could share it with my kiddos...
The kiddos broke in the game the day my dad returned home
from the hospital after his knee surgery.
from the hospital after his knee surgery.
Basically a game of chance,kiddos can practice counting backwards and forwards
to move...
...their Uncle Wiggily characters around the board.Added bonuses to the game:
1. The board has 100 spaces, so this would be a great additionto anyone's "100 Days of School" Celebration.
2. My dad(known as "Grandalf" to the kiddos-
in honor of his affection for Gandalf the Wizard)
helped Baby Girl work on her reading skills with the cards she
pulled to move around the board.
3. The kiddos had a lot of FUN...

(Side note:APPARENTLY rubbing your belly during the game
can bring a person good luck...)

ReplyDeleteGood tip about the belly rubbing :)
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this game, but I love the look of it - makes me nostalgic!!! It sounds like a great learning game too.
ReplyDeleteI love all the learning skills that are tied to playing a game. I hope rubbing his belly helped him with the game.
ReplyDeleteI hope that belly rubbing trick works for the new year! :-) What a fun game -- I'm adding it to the wish list for the kiddos!
ReplyDeleteI really like the look of this game. I have put it on my Amazon wish list...but it is so long, I am not sure when we will get to it.:) Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your dad is doing well. Grandparents are so important to kids!
