In anticipation of the Family Game Night next week, I thought I would update families on some fun games we have discovered with our family in the past few years. The girls are getting older, so our game playing is evolving. The concept of playing a game is something that children understand at different stages.
A few things to remember:
1.) It's important to model patience
2.) Taking turns is not inherent, it takes practice and explaination.
3.) It's important to model playing a game from beginning to end, even if your child is done--if there are at least 2 other people playing, take turns until the game is complete.

Great for working on spatial awareness, we introduced this as a game in turns rather than speed.
