A Board Game Education is an entertaining and valuable resource for
parents, teachers, educators, and anyone who appreciates the fun
and entertainment provided by classic, traditional board games. The
book provides an informative analysis of how classic board games
that everyone has played_and probably owns_are not only great
family entertainment but also develop core educational skills that
have been proven to lead to academic achievement. Through A Board
Game Education readers learn a bit of the fascinating history
trivia and little-known facts regarding the most loved board games
of all time (i.e., how Monopoly was used by WWII POWs to escape).
At the same time, Hinebaugh identifies the distinct educational
skills developed by each of these games and explores in detail how
the play of these games cultivates such skills. A Board Game
Education also provides valuable suggestions about how to modify
and vary these classic board games to specifically enhance
additional core educational skills and concepts. Who would have
thought that Candy Land could be modified into a strategy game and
Chutes and Ladders could be used to teach algebraic equations and
advanced math.
