Board games to enhance logic, math and counting
There are children's board games that can make kids practice their counting and run additions, subtractions and multiplications without realizing it. These include Chutes and Ladders and Trouble. Chutes and Ladders is a classic counting game and a perfect first board game (ages 3 and above). In Trouble players have to strategize about the best way to move the pieces on the board and they have to do some counting in the process (designed for school age children ages 6 and up).
Counting money games such as Monopoly are also a great way for kids to practice their counting and run additions and subtractions. There are also board games that can enhance logic such as tic-tac-toe. Tic Tac Toe is usually played by young children before they move to other logic games such as Sudoku, chess or chinese checkers.

Geography board games to learn about cities and countries
Geography board games can help children dramatically expand their knowledge in geography. By playing these games, children can learn about cities and countries. We recommend Brain Quest Around The World by University Games (ages 8 and up) and the 50 States Game. In these games, children explore the world and answer questions about different cities, countries and continents. Another geography board game that we recommend is Name that Country Game by Educational Insights (ages 8 and up). The game starts at the post office and children twirl a spinner to select one of sixty countries. When one child correctly identifies a country, he can advance along the path to finish. Finally there are also the Out of the Box geography board game (ages 10 and up). One of the fun children's board games and it also also received the Dr. Toy Award and includes many different themes (USA, Asia, Africa, etc). In this game players are taken to different places around the world and travel around by jet, car, and on foot. For more information on these geography board games, visit our geography games page.
