About our Games…

 

Learning WHEELS offers a way for parents to spend quality time with their children and for teachers to be able to facilitate and observe the skills being learned in class.  Our “no batteries required” method of play ensures that our children do more than sit in front of an impersonal monitor or screen.  This hands-on method of play guarantees interaction between the players, conversation about the learning, and a lot of fun!  How long has it been since you played a card game or board game with a child?  If it has been awhile, get ready to laugh, cheer, and enjoy!  You’re going to have a great time!

 

Learning WHEELS offers several types of games, including different card and board games.  We use a few standard games to teach several of the skills you’ll be interested in playing with your child or class.  By using a game that is repeated with different skills, you won’t have to teach a new game every time you need to work on a new objective! 

 

Card Games:

 

Flat Tire Freddy Games

Build Up

This K-2 game is a great way for children to work with word families and spelling as they try to create new words by changing one letter in an existing word.  It’s not as easy as it sounds as players reverse direction and skip their opponents, trying to be the first one to have created ten new words!  This game is located in our reading games section.

 

Board Games:

 

Block Out

The object of this game is to capture three squares in a section of the game board before your opponent does and block him out!  This game is fun and challenging as students answer a game card and mark the answer on the board using the blockers provided with the game.  Various skills can be tackled using this game including multiplication (7’s and 8’s), contractions, word families and baby animals!  This game is habit forming, so be ready to play over and over!  You’ll find all the versions of this game listed in the reading, science, and math games sections of the website, as well as the “Products” section.

 

 

Multiplication Block and Division Block

Let the fun begin as players work on their multiplication or division skills using one of these magnetized game boards.  Opponents face off and must use strategy as well as math facts to win either of these games. Players try to win sections of the game board before their opponents do to be victorious in one of our most popular games.  These two games are sold separately and located in the math games section of the website.

 

Time Bomb

Here we have another magnetic board game, but this one is teaching elapsed time.  Players must answer questions and move their game pieces out of the time bomb in this game.  The first player with all his pieces out of the bomb wins!  Good luck!  You’ll find this game in our math section.

 

Cause and Effect Golf

Are you ready for some golf?  We hope so because in this game you and your opponents will match cause statements to their effect to work your way up the course!  This game is located in our reading section.

 

Black Hole

This board game takes you to outer space as players try to stay out of the Black Hole!  The object here is to NOT advance on the game board, but it may seem like the galaxy is against you as you move closer to that very spot!  This game is available in several different versions.  We offer an upper grade and introductory version in science. We offer a math version that focuses on geometric terms and definitions. This math version starts out easy for younger players, but gets harder as play progresses for our older players.  We also offer a reading version that tackles all types of literary elements such as hyperbole, alliteration, personification, foreshadowing, flashback, symbolism, metaphors, pre-fixes and suffixes to name a few!  You’ll find this game in the reading, math and science games sections of our website.

 

Zapped! 

You better watch out, you don’t want to get Zapped!  In this best selling game, players can work in teams or alone to try to get more points than their opponent!  After correctly answering a question or solving a problem, players will remove mosquitoes from the game board, one at a time!  Each mosquito has a number on the side that can’t be seen.  These points will be added to your score. A player or team may pick up as many mosquitoes as they want or may hold at any time.  The more mosquitoes you pick up, the more points you will have unless you pick up one with a zero on it!  Then you lose all your points!! You are Zapped!  We offer this game in several different versions such as addition/subtraction, word problems, homophones, alphabet letters/antonyms, and science for upper and lower levels of play.  You’ll find all the versions of this game in the math, reading, and science sections of the website, as well as the “Products” section.
