Playing games is an easy and excellent way to spend unhurried, enjoyable time together. As an added bonus, board games are also rich in learning opportunities. They satisfy your child's competitive urges and the desire to master new skills and concepts, such as:
- number and shape recognition, grouping, and counting
- letter recognition and reading
- visual perception and color recognition
- eye-hand coordination and manual dexterity
Games don't need to be overtly academic to be educational, however. Just by virtue of playing them, board games can teach important social skills, such as communicating verbally, sharing, waiting, taking turns, and enjoying interaction with others. Board games can foster the ability to focus, and lengthen your child's attention span by encouraging the completion of an exciting, enjoyable game.

Monopoly Board Game encourages children to 'count on' from the number of spaces they have moved in games. It has much greater benefit than beginning at 'one' each time.
The process allows children to develop their ability to encode the relationship between numbers and spaces. It also teaches students financial principles from young! (Shaklin and Ehlen 2007)
