G is for Game

G is for Game! 

Here are some of my favorite (with the rule adaptations) for preschoolers . . . 

Blockus.  

The kids try and fit ALL the pieces on the board like a giant puzzle. 

This requires team work as well as excellent fine motor skills!

 Don't Spill the Beans.  

Partnerships work together to see how many beans they can get on top before it spills.  Each time trying to beat their previous record.  

Again, this emphasizes team work and counting skills while practicing that ever tricky pincher grasp.

 UpWords.  

The kids put the letters on the board and stack similar letters on top of each other.  

More fine motor practice, letter recognition and team work!
