The Educational Benefits of This Festive Game
The Sled Race may not be linked to a specific school subject, but it still has many educational benefits. For instance, the game teaches your child the following:
- How to play with others, take turns, and accept game outcomes, whether they win or lose
- How to recognize the numbers on a die and practise mental math to add them up and move their token.
- That board games are largely based on chance—some squares give you an advantage, while others set you back. It’s all part of the fun!
- How to stay focused to keep track of play, remember the rules, and remember what to do when they land on different symbols.
So, what are you waiting for? Print the game board and embrace the magic of the holidays!
