A Brave Writer's Life in Brief

Thoughts from my home to yours

Table Top Games and Homeschooling

Table Top Games and Homeschooling

My son, Noah, keeps 20+ games in the trunk of his car. Why?

Because you never know when a chance to play a game with a group of people may pop up!

By popular request, Noah joined me to share his PASSION for games—the kind that don’t require a computer or gaming system. We looked at the physical products (didn’t just talk about them), and he shared age ranges, styles of games, and which ones to try based on your family’s preferences.

Enjoy the broadcast below (also download a list of the games mentioned) and see how gaming enhances family life and education!

Free Download of Games Mentioned

Includes recommended ages, number of players, and play time!
