With stay at home orders, board games offer the opportunity to spend quality time together as a family—time away from screens and through structured social interaction. Now is a great time to invest in board games that are replayable, fun and support learning through play.
In this first video, I’m putting together some educational board game recommendations, loosely arranged by recommended ages (so board games without reading and less complexity are shared first). These are my top picks of board games for kids AND adults!
While many of these games were given to us free of charge, no compensation was collected for being included in this video. Links include affiliate links – thank you for supporting Unfiltered Gamer!
