Today we are continuing our series of fun learning resources for the summer. I know there are many parents worried about the loss of learning due to the pandemic, but also know that kids need some fun and normalcy to life this summer. My solution is to share resources to keep kids brains working while they enjoy and have fun this summer. Today I am going to share the three activity books in the Game On! Series.
All three of these books share different puzzles including word finds, mazes, hidden pictures and so much more! They are suggested for ages 8 to 12. Each one is full of fun and educational puzzles that will help develop thinking skills, visual skills and more. They are great for summer fun but also classroom fun or just any time fun. These are the kind of books I loved when I was young. I am thinking they would be perfect for the younger side of the ages but will of course depend on the child. I will share each individually from newest to oldest.

Publisher: Dover Publications | ISBN-13: 978-0486841854
Publisher’s Synopsis: The newest Game On! Awesome Activities for Clever Kids title, this activity book has dozens of new and challenging brain games for ages 8 to 12. More than 100 colorful puzzles feature the excitement and adventure of the United States, including crosswords, secret codes, word scrambles, spot the differences, mazes, and much more. It’s the perfect book for at home or on the go, and the fun starts with just a pencil — no electricity or batteries needed! Complete solutions appear at the end of the book.
From Me: This book is perfect for the summer and for Independence Day! Throughout the puzzles are some fun facts and information about our country! It quizzes kids with things like where the states are and what is on the dollar bill. Plus it just has fun patriotic puzzles throughout it. I know around our area most summer reading lists include books about the United States and Revolutionary War. I think this book will just add to such lists and give kids fun facts to test parents on the 4th of July!
