Under the Sea Shells Game Review and Giveaway 3/20 CLOSED

Disclosure - free sample provided.



I love all of the fun educational games that Learning Resources have to offer.  We use a number of them for game nights at our house.  I really like that their games teach an educational concept, but my kids enjoy playing them at the same time.  What kind of educational games to you play with your kids?  

I want to introduce you to the Under the Sea Shells game from Learning Resources.  This is a game geared towards children 6 years of age and up.  It is perfect for first grade and above.  I have a first grader and thrid grader and I thought that the level was great for them.  The game incorporates math word problems with fun sea creatures.  This helps your child on their math skills, but also reading.  I think many people fear word problems, but this makes doing word problems fun!  It is a hands on way to teach word problems too.  The game works by picking a card.  The cards have math word problems on them.  You use the sea creature themed counters to help your child visualize the problem.  The problems include both addition and subtraction problems.







What did my kids think?  They loved it.  My first grader needed a little help from myself or my third grader on the reading portion.  However, this is a great way to strengthen her reading skills.  The math portion is fun.  They both enjoyed using the crabs and starfish to count out the answer.  Do you have a child that would enjoy playing this game?  You can learn more about it or order by visiting the Learning Resources website.  The game retails for $29.99.  This would also be a great game to have in the classroom.
