-

Chess
A love a good strategy game! This keeps the mind active, incorporating decision making, critical thinking, focus, and patience. Maybe I should play chess more! 😉
-
Homeschool
This list was created for kids who need a bit of a break and there parents too! Ad lets face it, most homeschool parents are homeschooling more than one kiddo, so my advice is rotating centers!

-
Afterschool
If your kiddo is in classroom for 6 hours + my suggestion would be to choose 1 or 2 of the items above that interest them to work on after school!
