Get Back into School Mode with Board Games

How about some summer learning to help ease the kids back into school mode? What about playing board games? Board games are a fun way to work on skills such as counting, strategizing and taking turns, and it won’t feel like schoolwork at all. Board games are also a great way to spend quality time with the kids without the expense associated with most outings such as going to the movies or the mall.

If you are considering purchasing some board games online, be sure to get the best price out there. The Compare Prices page on CoolSavings will enable you to do just that. And the Online Coupons page has discounts and offers from retailers like Target, Wal-mart and more. For younger kids, check out some of the classics such as Candyland and Chutes & Ladders.

Headache and Trouble are both hits in our house these days. My son gets such a thrill out of trying to be the capturer and not the captured. And many of us had tons of fun with the old classics of Monopoly, Life and Sorry.

What are some board games you enjoyed as a child? If you have kids, what do they enjoy these days? What board games have you purchased that have been well worth the money? Feel free to chime in with your recommendations.
