Fun, Educational Games for Kids (#Giveaway) @SuperDuperPub

Although I was a teacher, I always felt that it was important to let kids play and let them learn along the way. I never believed in shoving education in their faces and putting a huge emphasis on academics at a young age. I am guilty, however, of seeking fun educational toys for my girls. Since children learn through play, just about anything can be used as an educational tool for a child. Now that my preschooler is old enough for structured or board games, I’ve been looking at things that I feel can also help enhance the learning process.

We were sent a few games from Super Duper Publications to review. Although the ages for some of the toys are well beyond my daughter’s age, I knew I could adapt the gaming experience to suit her level of understanding, so we chose Ring Bling (grades K and up), Vocabulary Chipper Chat (grades K-5), and Which One Doesn’t Belong? (grades 1 & up).

Of course, my little princess begged to play Ring Bling first. Ring Bling is a game of following directions and acting out silly expressions as stated on the cards. There are three levels: Basic Directions, Conditional, and Temporal. Once they act out the action that is stated on the card, the player then spins the spinner to earn one or two rings for their Happy Hand, or to give to a friend. The winner is the player with the most rings. I love that this game encourages creativity and they have fun pretending to be something silly.

Which One Doesn’t Belong? The game that I thought might be a bit TOO advanced for my almost 4 year old turned out to show my hubby and I just how much she really knows. I started reading off the cards to her and before I could finish all the words on the card, she immediately told me which item didn’t belong. I tried a few more and she got every one of them correct. There are two levels, red and blue – the red cards are easier than the blue cards. I only tried her on the ones I knew she would understand, such as shapes and colors. I took this game a step further and after she got the answer correct, I would ask her WHY that item doesn’t belong. She was able to explain and I was blown away! I have one smart cookie here! My daughter’s favorite part is the little flashlight that lights up the correct answer in red.

I may have gotten ambitious when I thought my daughter could play Vocabulary Chipper Chat. It’s not that she doesn’t understand, it’s just that she doesn’t have the attention span to sit through a game that has so many pieces. She became excited and couldn’t focus on game play, so I decided to use the tools in the game to try to get her thinking a bit. I chose a few subjects from the game that I thought would be to my child’s ability until she has a bit more discipline to play the game “the real way.” I do want to point out that this is a feature I love about all the games I reviewed from Super Duper Publication – you can adapt game play to suit the abilities of the child playing the game.

The last card gave us a good laugh. Since we live in NYC, there is no grass or mowers to be found. My daughter was completely stumped on this question and I knew exactly why. Super Duper Publications is a great educational tool inside and outside of the classroom, and for 27 years were only available to therapists, teachers, and special needs professionals. I’m happy to say that now these games are available to the public, so FUN educational games are more readily available to the public.

You can check out the entire line of educational products at Super Duper Publications, as well as connect with them on their social media outlets: Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Pinterest. You can also win one of the games listed above. This giveaway is open to US residents.
