As John Andrew Holmes wisely said,
"Never tell a young person that something cannot be done. God may have been waiting
centuries for somebody ignorant enough of the impossible to do that thing."

BOARD GAMES


When you are looking to spend some quality time with your little one, pick up a board game!
Beyond the joy of spending time together, your child can gain higher self-esteem and can safely satisfy their competitive nature. As an added bonus there are many learning opportunities in a friendly game! Students can master concepts such as:
  • number and shape recognition, grouping, and counting
  • letter recognition and reading
  • visual perception and color recognition
  • eye-hand coordination and manual dexterity
  • social skills
  • how to "gracefully" lose
  • greater attention span and focus
Games don't need to be overtly academic to be educational. Just by playing them, board games provide many exciting opportunities for educational review and growth, as well as further development of life skills!



Students at HO4K love playing board games together! We learn how to have friendly competitions and love to practice the skills we already have.
