Customer Reviews
Insightful! For parents, teachers, and anyone who wants to play board games with kids.
Every week, Mike and Doug break down skills involved in a board game that they recommend. Educational concepts, skill-building, and difficulties are discussed, along with techniques to make learning easier and more fun.
Although the show can run a little long, the different segments that make up a show are all great.
Great insight and recommended games!
I’ve probably bought 20 games based on their recommendations! Such great insight into the educational opportunities these games utilize. I’ve gotten my extended family into the podcast and recommend it to coworkers and friends frequently! One thing in particular that I appreciate is they will give recommendations on age that don’t necessarily match up to the box recommendation. So helpful!
Must-listen podcast for parents on the hunt for creative learning approaches
I recommend Game Schooler to every parent that’s interested in play-based learning so literally every parent out there because kids learn best through play. However, many parents may not know about the power of board games in education which these two, very pleasant gentlemen and subject matter experts excellently talk about. They found a very powerful niche in the boardgames space in which they connect educational concepts to games primarily for families. Whether you are a parent or educator on the lookout for creative approaches, this is a must-listen podcast. I’m a parent (quasi teacher myself with a middle-school teaching wife *wink*) and passionate board gamer who is on a quest to tell more parents about the under-valued and under-utilized medium “board game” so I’m very pleased to hear from Doug and Dr. McCabe. Way to go, gentlemen!
