For parents: what Board Game Quiz practices

Board Game Quiz is mixed review: kids practice beginning sounds, vowels, spelling, irregular verbs, plurals, contractions, ABC order and context clues in one game. It's a great end-of-week activity. It pairs with:

• All games
• Grammar
• Spelling

Common Core: L.1.1, L.2.1, L.2.2, L.3.1, L.4.4a, RF.K.3, RF.1.3 (mixed review).

Getting the most out of it

• Play together and take turns answering out loud.
• Talk about any question Monty's player gets wrong.
• Try the next grade's questions as a challenge.

Games are best as a reward or a warm-up, not the main lesson. Ten minutes of play after a short lesson works better than an hour of play on its own.
