There are so many games that teach so many things available on line, or as a board game or even a made up on the spot game.
My son loves to play Catopoly (like monopoly but with cats). He enjoys being the banker though he sometimes has an unconventional method of solving the bank problems, he always manages to get it figured. :) This game teaches reading, math skills, strategy, and money management.

We used a variety of "make it up on the spot" games with the lad. From hopping on to words that you know, to word drills (and yes.. that can be a game for a competitive child) to playing the Dangerous book for Boys game, to making up words from letter tiles.
The lad loves playing this game. He has learned some flag coding, has to practice his reading skills, thinking skills, problem solving and so much more. Some of the questions are too hard for him yet, but in time he'll get them. :)
Some of the language arts on-line games we use are
Wacky tales. I fun way to practice your grammar. Wacky Tales are made up from words that you have provided.
Word play with Vocabulary. Having fun with words begins at an early age and continues through the years. From Shakespeare’s quibbles to Twain’s colloquialisms, word play is an important part of language development at any age. Whether doing a crossword puzzle or playing hangman, kids love increasing their vocabulary through fun word play games online. Word play games are an excellent way to practice spelling, increase vocabulary and keep the mind sharp.
Then of course are the games that come from doing nature study. Walks in the woods and pretending to be a squirrel hiding behind a tree, or running from a dastardly cat! (squirrels opinion not mine). :) Or like the grasshopper below he slipped when the jumped to avoid the net. See MOM.. how he could land wrong if he was frightened!

Having fun help cement skills being learned and helps a child gain confidence I find.
What types of games (spontaneous or made) do you play with your children? Why do you use them? I'd love to know. :)
