Notes on Reviews

     Different kinds of games and different areas of instruction require different kinds of reviews, so not every review is the same as another, especially if different people wrote them. Most every game reviewed here is a generally beneficial exercises in problem solving, reading, social skills of many sorts, and strategy.

     All of the review have the following categories. Some have additional categorizations.

Subjects:

     These are as clear and broad as possible.

Age Range:

     The age range for us of these games assumes some adult introduction or supervision. Many of these games can be played independently after this introduction, and some require ongoing supervision, which is specified in the text of the review.

Time:

     This is a rough guide for how the minimum time necessary to play the game. Many of these games are more productive and enjoyable given more time. Some materials serve more as teacher resources and so do not have times. Most of these games can be divided or restructured to fit better into a set schedule, and many can be shortened or extended.
