Board games that help improve your vocabulary

Vocabulary fun games are the best way to improve your child’s as well as your knowledge. Being proficient in a language is important these days. Knowing an extra language apart from your native language or your mother tongue is essential. Being good in English helps your child in the future.

Hence, there are some board games that will help you and your child. Let us have a look at them!

Apples to Apples

This game is played between 4 to 10 people sitting in a circle. In the beginning a set of cards is distributed among the plates and 

one of the players, who is also the judge, places a card from his set in the middle of the circle. On the card is written a description. Now, from the cards the other players have, they have to choose and present the one which best fits the description. The judge then selects the best card to announce the winner. The players then move on to the next round with a new judge. This is a fun game which also helps children learn synonyms.
