Here's Twist 'N Turn: let your preschooler or pre-kindergartener be outside and active while learning about shapes, colors, directions, and word recognition.

Help your preschooler practice counting, matching, and learning colors with this fun game!

You don't need to spend big bucks to buy a pre-boxed version of a matching game at the store. You can make your own easily. Here's how:

Bring the classic game of "Red Rover" up to date with color and shape recognition skills for your child.

Pump up the learning level of your kindergartener's summer break by playing patriotic bingo when July 4th rolls around.

This copying game is like a hopped up version of Simon Says, but it lets kids use their bodies to practice patterning, a key skill in early math.
