Family Game Night is something that Patrick and I want to do regularly with our boys, but we thought it would be a few years before we were able to do it. Our friends, the Fitzsimmons', encouraged us to begin our family game nights now. They said it doesn't matter that your young ones can't follow the exact rules, it just matters that you are together having fun and that even toddlers can match colors, roll dice, and move game pieces. It makes a lot of sense to start building those basic skills now! Tonight we decided to get out a game called Rummikub, a game where players have numbered tiles that you place in runs or group by color. The first player to place all their tiles wins.
Amazon describes it as a "fast-paced" and "easy" game that "is ideal for people of different ages to play together" that "reinforces STEM and STEAM concepts for kids like sequencing, pattern recognition, and planning skills." You can buy it here. I totally recommend it for play with your kids! Dean mostly just drew, stacked, and arranged the tiles on his board. He was noticing the colors and numbers also!
