Game Schooling!
For anyone who's interested, I've been writing a series of blog posts about how we've been using games for school this year. I would also appreciate other fun and educational suggestions.
 Featured in my blog so far: Rummy Roots Prestel Art Game Bible Challenge Mad Libs Card Game Games for Younger Kids Izzi

Re: Game Schooling!
Jodi, I forget to play games, too, unless I make them part of the lesson plans! I'm so excited to have found a groove this year and a way to include games in that groove!

Re: Game Schooling!
I love your blog!
Thanks for the ideas. I'm trying to get a collection of games going. I'd love to find some cheap ones.

Re: Game Schooling!
Do you have any thrift stores nearby? Seriously, thrift stores can be really great for games. Often people get the educational games & don't have time to play. So they finally pass them off to the thrift store.
