Just Play Kid Games!



Fun Games For Kids


You're going to laugh, but there was a time when I would not allow my children to play kid games during the day for fear someone would see my kids playing games! I was afraid that I would have to explain why they were not in homeschool studying!

That was a l-o-n-g time ago. Before I knew how important it was for them to play games.

We play games most anytime now, and lots of them!

With over twenty years of homeschooling under our belt, we have uncovered a slew of fun games for kids that are a blast to play. Some are even educational at the same time, if you can believe that!

Each link (below) will take you to another page with the games we recommend. I know you will have as much fun playing with these favorites as we do.
