We love playing board games in our family. Monday evening has become the 'chosen' game night for us.  I am always on the prowl for great games.  One of Ethan and Natalie's gifts for Christmas and their Birthday's is always a board game.  I'm especially pleased when games help teach practical life skills.  That is why my pick for Ethan is MONEY MONEY.  This is a great way to learn about money. For Natalie I chose Friendship Island.  She is very socially conscience.  This game will give me insight into the emotional and social development of my children.  These games definitely made my Christmas list.

MONEY MONEY - Invest in your child's financial future with a game that's rich with learning possibilities! Players collect, count and exchange money all the way to the finish line, learning how to combine coins of different value. This engaging money game expands vocabulary related to money and offers practice in addition, subtraction, and money exchange skills. Includes 100 plastic coins, play bills, markers and die. from 5y & up  $20.00

FRIENDSHIP ISLAND - A unique, fun board game designed by educational experts to teach social and emotional awareness. Children explore issues related to making friends, being a good friend, and resolving disagreements in win-win ways. Include the whole family by utilizing the Easier and/or More Challenging playing cards and instructions, plus use the Parent Guide to encourage important family dialogue. Encourages great communication. from 5y & up (A, K, V)$25.00
