Review: TENZI Game & Card Deck

We love to play games during school and anytime during the day. Our latest game is TENZI Game. At first glance it may seem that this is just a bunch of dice but what we saw are tons of possibilities. The diced are intended to be played by tossing the dice then you collect the ones that do not match and toss those. Everyone playing repeats this process until all of their dice match. Whoever manages to get all their dice matched first wins the game. Our daughter quite enjoys this game. It is easy to understand and can be played very quickly. You get enough dice for up to 4 people to play. If you want to extend your options for games you can play then get these nifty deck of cards; TENZI Card Deck.

The card deck will give your a ton of ways to play with the dice. The games range in difficulty so no matter what age your children are I am sure you will find a challenging game for them. What is really great about these diced is that they are able to grow with your child. First, you can use them to help teach numbers 1 through 6 when your child is starting out learning their numbers. They can help with correlation between numbers and how many dots are on the dice. Then you can even use them to help with adding and subtracting. A fun way to practice these is by letting your child toss the dice themselves and have them choose which dice to start with. 


To help with number correlation your child can toss the dice and tell you which ones are which. Or you can have them put them in numerical order, pick out which ones are odd or even. The possibilities go on and on. You could have them toss the dice until they all show up odd or even. And you do not have to just have your child play on their own. Join in with whatever your student is doing and they will no doubt have more fun. I strongly believe that the more fun a student is having the better they will learn. That is why I make sure to have lots of educational games.


We also use the dice to add additional fun to physical education class. Pick an activity like jumping jacks, hoping on one leg, push up, etc. Then have your child roll the dice and they must do that many of the activity. Our daughter loves this game and has even more fun if I join in with her. It helps with number correlation and gets your child activity. What games do you play with these dice?

Review: All About Reading Level 4

 We have finished All About Reading Level 4 ! I am so glad that we started using this program from All About Learning Press. It is hands-down the best if you want to teach anyone to read. This last level goes over the rare teams, unexpected phonic sounds, and words that are borrowed from other languages. The break down of each lesson is amazing not only for the teacher but the student as well. The games incorporated make it really intriguing for the student. I absolutely love the little readers that come with each level. The lessons are perfectly spaced out so that it isn't too much at one time. I love the way the teacher's manual is done. As a dyslexic teaching another dyslexic I couldn't be happier with the teaching method. A lot of the things taught in all 4 levels of All About Reading I learned for the first time. I had never learned them in public school but am so glad I am able to teach them to my own kids. While most American adults read at a 7-8 grade level my seven...

Review: Djeco Pompom Pictures - All Aboard

Djeco Pompom  is a super cute and easy art craft for toddlers. They just put the pompoms on the corresponding dots. I like that it comes with all the pompoms you need. However, the glue stick they give you doesn’t make the pompoms sticks to the board. I tried regular glue and that didn’t work either so I ended up having to use a hot glue gun. So, I suggest having hot glue if you get this. There are small circles on the boards to let you know what color pompom goes where so it’s pretty self-explanatory. The kit does come with a small manual that it done with pictures so even your little one can look at the manual and understand which pompoms go on which board.

Review: A to Z Board Book

Books are a great way to teach kids so I like to start out reading to our girls when they are quite young. We have a lot of books especially ones with the alphabet. This book is another alphabet book for babies and toddlers but it is different because it is with animals. It is called  A to Z Board Book . The main thing that I like about this book is that it is a board book. They are sturdy and they can stand up to the rough way young child treat their things. Our youngest likes to rip up books so I have to only keep board books out and the rest put away. This alphabet book is a lift the flap book so I do keep this one were our daughter can not freely get to it because she will rip the flaps off. We do read this one everyday while we do school because really likes being able to open the flaps and then say the animal and their sounds. If I had to choose one alphabet book for babies and toddlers I would go with this one. We use this board book in multiple ways. We go over the letters,...
