I hope this provides some ideas for inexpensive family entertainment. There are many games that can help your child develop their math skills. Here are just a few examples of common games that can improve your child s math skills. Checkers Checkers is a classic game that is very inexpensive. In checkers, the pieces move along a grid diagonally.
Players also have to monitor pieces along a horizontal plane also.
The challenge of Checkers rests in being able to predict, plan, and protect pieces. It lists some examples of variants that can be played with a traditional set. A book of 102 other Checkers variations can also be purchased. Connect Four Connect Four is similar to Checkers in that players have to observe vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. Connect Four is a very simple game, but very challenging.
