Our new CARD
GAME ROUNDUP books — designed for
elementary age homeschoolers — present games
that are:
|
|
EASY TO USE:
|
•
Games
feature step-by-step directions, few materials
needed.
|
|
ENGAGING:
|
•
The
games’ Wild West themes, or "Storylines,"
capture the imaginations of youngsters.
|
DYNAMIC:
|
| •
These
games don’t just teach arithmetic skills.
Rather they teach a wide range of math skills
and concepts, including addition & subtraction
patterns, sequences, Venn diagrams, geometry,
data analysis, probability, measurement, and more!
To be brief, this ain’t drill-and-kill.
It’s play, explore, and learn. |
FLEXIBLE: |
•
Games
offer versions that are EITHER competitive
or cooperative. You decide which format works
best with your children.
|
VISUALLY
APPEALING: |
•
The
gameboards feature art from award-winning
children’s book illustrator Sally
Blakemore.
|
STIMULATING: |
•
Each
game write-up poses questions for interesting
after-play discussion. Use these
questions as prompts for writing activities.
e.g.: What was the best strategy to use in
Steer on the Loose!? Why did that strategy
work?
|
WHOLESOME
FAMILY FUN: |
•
Playing
the Card Game Roundup games gives your family
still another way to interact in a fun, educational
way.
|
|
EXAMPLES
OF GAMES & WHAT YOUR CHILDREN WILL LEARN
FROM THEM!
|
FOR
ADDITION and SUBTRACTION:
|
•
Put
away those flashcards, and let kids play "Quicksand."
In this game, children get
transformed into cowhands clambering up a
sheer cliff above a quicksand pit. To reach
the safety provided by an overhanging tree
branch, they must correctly use addition and
subtraction facts.
|
|
•
Play
"Roundup Rivals," where children
become rival ranchers trying to rustle up
the most cattle by getting as close as possible
to 99 cattle, or 999, in the advanced game.
|
FOR
PROBABILITY:
|
•
Play
the totally addictive "Galloping Guesses"
game, where children use probability and reasoning
to make educated guesses about whether a face-down
card has a red or black suit.
|
FOR
MEASUREMENT:
|
•
Play
"Sizing Up Snakes", where children
learn about both non-standard and standard
measurement units by creating "rattlesnakes"
of different lengths.
|
FOR
EARLY ALGEBRAIC THINKING:
|
•
Play
"Bucking Broncos," the game that
teaches youngsters how algebraic functions
work. But chidren best be careful! If they
get the function wrong three times, they get
bucked off the bronco. Ouch!
