Games are so great for child development, because they build cognitive, academic, and social skills. If you will take time to teach children to play games, they will be able to entertain themselves - even without the television, ipods, cell phones and video games!
These are games that my children (ages 3-8) are currently enjoying, but I'm sure YOU have more favorites!!
