Jul 20, 2020

    It’s that time of year again when all the kids are out for summer vacation. How do you keep the learning process going until they have to go back to school? One of the best ways to keep growing minds sharp all vacation long is with a variety of games whose lessons can carry over when classes begin in the fall. 

    The best games don’t require an electronic device. Here is a list of learning games that you can play anywhere with your kids.

    • Board Games

    A visit to the local toy store or big-box retailer and you may soon be overwhelmed by all of your choices. Here are some of our top choices for summer:

    Battleship

    This game has been around for decades. Two players face each other while trying to guess the positioning of the other’s fleet on a grid. It involves logic and a bit of strategy in order to hit and sink all of the other player’s ships and win the game.

     

    Clue

    This mystery-solving game is a well-beloved classic that even has a movie made around its key elements. Players have to use a number of clues in order to solve who did the murder, where it happened, and how it was done.​

    • Math Games

    Even for kids who list math as their least favorite subject can learn to love it through playing math games. Here are some games to help teach math skills while they’re busy having fun.

    Dominoes

    Dominoes can be a fun way to keep kids engaged and thinking about math. Dominoes can be used to add, subtract, multiply, and divide by giving each a set of numbers to put into problems to solve. If a domino has five dots on one half of it, and three on the other side, the numbers could be added up to make a sum of eight or multiplied to equal 40.

    Bingo

    This is one of the best ways for kids to learn math, no matter what grade level they are at. Elementary grade students can learn addition and subtraction, while middle school and high school students can get familiar with more complex math concepts like multiplication, division, fractions, and even geometry and algebra. You can create your own math bingo cards by putting answers on a card and then play by calling out math problems that your kids have to solve to get a bingo.

    • Brain Games

    Just about any number or word game can be used to sharpen the brain. Games like Sudoku can teach number patterns and recognition. Vocabulary games which include Scrabble and Scattergories can help develop language skills. Other games that pose questions to players, like in the game Trivial Pursuit, can sharpen the knowledge of history, culture, and world events.

    • Table games

    Usually played on a table made for a specific game. One example is Connect Four. Intended for players aged 6 and up, the object is to first to line up 4 discs of their color. It seems easy, but there’s strategy involved. Do try to line up your pieces along the side, diagonally or across? It’s a great way to learn patterns as well as tactics.

    • Card games

    What road trip or camping expedition would be complete without a deck of playing cards? A standard deck of playing cards can be used to teach math, strategy, and matching through a wide variety of games.

    • Matching & Memory Games

    Everyone could use a bit of a memory boost. Matching and memory games can go hand in hand in teaching kids (and adults) to recognize patterns to improve cognitive skills.

     

    Memory

    There are scores of matching and memory games available with everything that is enticing to kids from shapes, wild animals, and numbers, and even your favorite movie characters or superheroes. Cards are shuffled and placed face down then turned over. When matches are made, they are left face up or removed until all matches are made.

    • Word games

    Reading and writing are both fantastic summer activities for kids of all ages. Why not introduce kids to some word games that can keep them sharpening their vocabulary, spelling, and writing skills?

    Scrabble

    This classic crossword game is great for kids from 8 years to adult. It’s great for increasing vocabulary, spelling skills, and a bit of strategy.

    Scattergories

    Players have the opportunity to brainstorm and think creatively on their own or on a team. The object is to find words that will fit in certain categories. It’s a great way to build vocabulary and knowledge while having fun doing it. Players have to stretch their vocabularies if they want to win!

    • Strategy games

    Critical thinking skills and being able to see the potential moves of your opponent are all a part of strategy games. It’s just the thing to keep young and old minds engaged and focused!

    Risk

    Older kids are sure to love this game that involves not only geography concepts, but also tactics and strategy in battle. The person who is able to claim all the territory on the board wins the game.

    Chess

    Originally created in ancient Persia, this game has been enjoyed by players around the world for centuries. Chess teaches critical thinking and being able to intuit your opponent’s next moves in addition to patterns of play

    Live Bingo - Play Online to Socialize in the Online Bingo Hall



    Jul 9, 2020

    Table of Contents

      When asked what they like most about playing bingo in their local bingo hall or casino, players from around the world say it’s all about socializing with other players. You never know who you might meet. For some who play regularly at their local bingo parlor or hall, the camaraderie that they experience there is like nothing else. 

      Of course, in spite of the fun and friendship that is often found by hanging out at your neighborhood brick and mortar bingo venue, there can be some downsides. When you are sharing space with other people, you may have to put up with people’s strange or even bad behaviors. Bingo hall enthusiasts do have some weird superstitions sometimes! One way around to get all of the social interaction you wish without the annoyance is to play bingo online.

      • Bingo Chat Rooms for Socializing and Fun!

      Many online bingo players say that, outside of the excitement and fun of playing, one of their favorite things is the online bingo chat rooms. Just as people enjoy the social aspect of going out to the bingo hall and interacting with friends and family, many have discovered that it can be just as enjoyable to catch up while enjoying bingo from the comfort of your own home. As long as you have an internet connection and an internet-ready device such as a personal computer, tablet, or mobile device such as a smartphone, you can both play mobile bingo and chat in a kind of online bingo hall.

      Online bingo chat has far less noise to contend with. You can chat while playing bingo without having to shout over the noise. Plus, you can talk with people even while the game is going, which is a big no-no in a bingo hall. Being able to talk to people anytime during the game helps people become friends faster. And occasionally, you can even find your special someone!

      • You’re Not Limited by Time Zones

      One of the most positive aspects of playing bingo online is that you can play 24/7, any day of the year, all year long. This means you can meet up with your friends from across the globe at a time that is most convenient for each of you. You can chat with hundreds of other players from around the world in real-time while you’re playing bingo! Brits and Aussies are quite common in our online bingo halls.

      • Friendship and Help is Just a Click Away    

      Online bingo players are known to be generous and friendly lot. They will often offer encouragement and advice to fellow players who are new to playing online. Many online bingo chats also have a chat moderator. 

      Often the best person to open a chat with if you are confused or have a question is the chat moderator. Most chat moderators started out by being regular players first and later moved into their role because of their helpfulness. If you have questions, that’s what your moderator is there for! 

      So why not come check out our bingo games and get to know your fellow players through our online bingo chat feature
