Games facilitate communication and community. They teach logic, patience, math, pattern matching, and manners, and sometimes history, geography, science, and more!

The Game Finder at http://www.GamesforEducators.com helps people find games by age, skill, subject, etc. http://tinyurl.com/dclyj3

As Plato said, You can learn more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.

Have fun!
