Card Games for Homeschoolers

Card games are the cheapest curriculum in the house. Fast, portable, and they fit in the ten minutes between subjects. Word games build vocabulary, number games build fluency, and every one of them builds the ability to lose without falling apart.

How to use it: keep one in the car and one on the kitchen table. Ten minutes, three rounds, done. This is also the easiest way to get a reluctant kid to do arithmetic on purpose.
