There were six players from first grade to fourth grade and I had no idea how much they have played before. What kind of games would you make them play? Would you try cramming lots of games into one hour or one longer game? How much help should you give to those kids playing against each other?” Older content about gaming with kids: Raising the Next Generation of Tabletop Gamers, https://tabletopbellhop.com/gaming-advice/gaming-with-kids/ The Next Generation Podcast Ep 39, https://tabletopbellhop.com/podcast/ep039/ Some of the Best Kids Board Games and how to get Kids to Play Them, https://tabletopbellhop.com/gaming-advice/kids-boardgames/ Child's Play Part 2 Podcast Ep 20, https://tabletopbellhop.com/podcast/ep020/ Our game suggestions: Cooperative Games: Ghost Fightin' Treasure Hunters, https://amzn.to/38ZcXUL Robot Turtles, https://amzn.to/3np1tlR Flash Point Fire Rescue, https://amzn.to/3C1zEE5 Others: Outfoxed, Quirky Circuits, The Mind, Slide Quest, Talisman Legendary Tales, Castle Panic Dexterity Games: Go Cuckoo, https://amzn.to/3C4RaY8 Pitchcar, https://www.eaglegames.net/PitchCar-p/101142.htm Animal Upon Animal, https://amzn.to/3k52HRk Others: Riff Raff, Hamsterrolle, Jenga, Rhino Hero.

Are you tired of playing Monopoly, Candyland, or insert Milton Bradley title here, but you're unsure how to get your family beyond the classic (and mostly boring) board games? Settlers of Catan is THE gateway game. We've seen it be the spark that sets a family down a path of nerdy board game goodness and as gameschoolers we know the power games have to not only entertain, but teach valuable lessons and academic skills. If you've been on the fence about weightier board games at all, dip your toe into the waters of Catan and you'll be pleasantly surprised! Even better, Catan Junior offers a terrific way to help your kids break out of the Candyland mold too. Great artwork, simple mechanics, and intriguing strategy make this the perfect entry to the nerdy board game world. Welcome! Settlers of Catan Ages 8 and up 3-4 players (with 5-6 player expansion available) 60 min playtime Skills: strategic thinking, math, probabilities, colors Catan Junior Ages 6-10 3-4 players 30 min playtime Skills: strategic thinking, math, probabilities FREE Resource Guide Download our FREE North American Resources List to enhance your global studies with your learners! https://rebrand.ly/fstke Show Notes Catan - https://amzn.to/3s8q7Hg Catan Junior - https://amzn.to/3bvcr3o Big Bang Theory Catan Clip - https://youtu.be/eEq-0inAWzk The Man Who Created Settlers of Catan - https://youtu.be/niTSTcZkriA Connect with us Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/homeschooltogetherpodcast/ Instagram: www.instagram.com/homeschooltogetherpodcast Website: https://homeschooltogether.fireside.fm/ Email: homeschooltogetherpodcast@gmail.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2LHBAmkwPj6N6OUnSmDZZQ
