On the road again....or still? Games to keep busy!

Board games help children develop logic and reasoning skills, improve critical thinking and boost spatial reasoning. As well, their ability to concentrate and focus for a longer periods of time is also developed.

BUT board games aren't the easiest thing to travel in a car with.  You can purchase travel versions of popular classic games, but one player games such as Rush Hour are perfect for the car!  Not only are we keeping busy on long road trips, we are learning and developing skills.  

Rush Hour is an award winning solitaire game by ThinkFun - In Rush Hour, a sliding block logic game, you have to battle the gridlock as you slide the blocking vehicles out of the way for the red car to exit. With 40 challenges, ranging in difficulty, players can progress at their own speed. As one of the best logic games of all time, Rush Hour is a must for every household. (Description from the ThinkFun  website)

We have a demo available at the store for you to try before you buy!  Rush Hour is recommended for ages 8+.   My 10 year old took our demo for a spin, and enjoyed having to think to figure out the puzzles.  My almost 7 year old enjoyed the easier puzzles, but was frustrated as the difficulty increased.

Rush Hour isn't the only one player game we carry in store! 
Some are more suited for travel than others, but they all invoke fun and learning
