You know you’ve got something really special when you’ve got something that’s helpful and your kids are asking for more of it. E.g. exercise, playing with friends, vegetables (well… in the case of my kids, I can dream about this one).

 
We have been playing this particular maths game (pictured above) and they’ve been asking to play more and more of it, (**insert mini victory dance here**). I haven’t posted it up on the blog yet, but hope to soon.

 
To help encourage children’s maths concepts in useful and fun ways, because play matters, I’ve also put together a list of 20 useful math games. A good few are new to us and I am ever so keen to introduce them to my kids.

 
Happy playful learning!
