Are you stuck in a rut, or just need to shake things up with your homeschool routine? Ever tried to incorporate gameschooling? Gameschooling, what in the world is that? Well, it is a popular choice for many homeschoolers for the simple reason that it encourages learning, sometimes without the kids even knowing! Gameschooling is the intersection of play and education assignments, offering a happy medium free of pressure and criticism, automatically creating a fun, positive learning environment.

Studies have shown that kids learn more efficiently and retain more information when lessons are more enjoyable. So, gameschooling honestly can change your entire homeschool atmosphere for the better!  Many of us recognize the benefit of learning games and educational fun, such as improved memory, increased engagement, and a more positive, bonding experience overall.

Not to mention, board games, card games, and puzzles are definitely coming in handy during this extensive time staying at home.
