Nursery World - All on board (1)

It's easy, when there are so many computer games available, to forget about board games all together, but board games have a socialising influence and can encourage concepts of fair play and co-operation. What's more, they may have some novelty value for children addicted to screen play Five plus

Five plus

All board games come with a recommended age label, but it pays to play the game yourself before you put it into general use as the recommended age range is usually pretty broad.

Twice Upon A Time from Presents Direct is a non-competitive game that involves taking turns to make up stories that use the words on the ten cards you have been dealt with. There's a one minute time limit allowed for creative thinking! Twice upon a Time is suitable for two or more players and is priced Pounds 10.
