Play a game of educational go-fish—you'll walk away knowing more about your world! Just like Go Fish or Top Trumps, the game's goal is to collect the 4 cards in a series! Each time period game highlights 12 different themes to learn about: significant thinkers, pioneers, explorers, countries, and landmarks with full-color photos and illustrations. You might match 4 major world waterfalls or 4 Greek mythological figures. Each set of 48 cards is packaged for easy travel, and includes a small instructional booklet that suggests some additional games and also highlights information about each card. Play time is generally ten to twenty minutes; 2-6 players.
My kids LOVE the Medieval Go Fish cards, and have begged for the Ancient History set!
We are working on World History, Part 1 and the kids love to play games for learning.
This looks like it will be an awesome game to play with my 1st and 2nd grader for CC Cycle 1!
Looks like fun for history review.
