Game Time: Prime Climb

Each year at Christmas I love to get the kids a new board game.  Who am I kidding?  I like buying new games no matter what time of year it is, Christmas was just the closest excuse I had to introduce a new game to the family!

We gave our kids the game Prime Climb.  Okay, yes, it’s a math game, but it is a seriously fun math game!  I promise!  I’m an ENFP personality type, I don’t have time (and won’t make time) for things that are dull.

What I love about this game is that each of our three older kids can play it, because you can choose what to do at each roll, add, subtract, multiply, or divide the number you’re at on the board, with the numbers you roll on your dice.  The youngest player is not at a lesser advantage because she doesn’t know all her math facts yet, because there are cards you draw each time you end your turn on a prime number, and those cards throw all sorts of twists into the game (like send a player back to START).   Even if she is just adding her rolls each time she plays, she still has a pretty good chance of winning!  Of course, if you can multiply you can get further ahead quicker, but that doesn’t secure you a spot at the finish line yet, as you have to land EXACTLY on 101 to win the game (you can’t go past, so sometimes you’re waiting tirelessly for to roll a 1, only to be sent back to start).

Playing games helps children learn teamwork, patience, how to play fair, and they gain valuable communication skills while conversing with other players around the table.

Right now, as I’m typing this, it’s a Saturday morning and my son is playing this game with his best friend from across the street.  What are the odds that two eleven-year-old boys would choose to spend their weekend morning this way?  It’s truly a great game!  I can’t wait to get a chance to go head-to-head against Mr. Awesome some evening after the kids are in bed.  He is a math genius, but I still think I can take him!  Ha!

 

If you’re looking for a game to help your child gain confidence with their math skills or just a game that is different than every other board game out there, give Prime Climb a try!

 

Our all time favorite date-night game (I take this nearly everywhere because it’s tiny and fits in my purse, you do need a big table space to play it though):

Hey Friend! I am truly so glad that you’re here today!

At A Slightly Better Wife, I share about faith, homemaking, homeschooling, and marriage—along with my passion for creating a non-toxic, intentional home. Life isn’t about perfection, but I believe in making small, meaningful choices each day to do things slightly better than before.

My love for simple living and homemaking was deeply shaped by my grandparents. I have the best childhood memories of being in the kitchen with my Grandma Edna, learning the beauty of home-cooked meals and a well-tended home. My Grandpa Link’s storytelling and wisdom instilled in me the value of faith, family, and slowing down to listen during the little moments that make life rich. Their influence is woven into who I am today and I’m so grateful for that.

I’m a wife, a momma of 5, and a homemaker at heart. My husband and I met young, just days after my 18th birthday, and we quickly (like within a week) knew that forever was in our plans.

Together, we built our home on the edge of town, where we’re raising and homeschooling our children while embracing a simple, purposeful life in the city.

Here, you’ll find encouragement for your marriage, practical tips for homemaking, and inspiration to cultivate a home filled with faith and love. Whether you’re looking for a recipe, a fresh perspective, or just a place to feel understood, I hope you’ll stay awhile and explore.

Let’s pursue slightly better together!
