I make simple board games like this to reinforce the learning of vocabulary!counting and number recognition when I’m teaching English as a second language.
They are also a fun and inexpensive way to support the learning of preschool children. The topics are endless, Colours, animals, Time, parts of the body etc. Board games teach counting, number recognition in addition to social skills such as turn taking and FairPlay. Unfortunately they have gone out of fashion which is a shame because kids really love them especially if they have been involved in the making.
