LIME REALTY GROUP knows what you’re thinking right now… Video Games??? Really??? But actually, yes.
Certain types of video games can be extremely educational and help your child develop all kinds of skills. By making sure your kid plays the right games over the summer vacation months, you can keep them learning without them knowing it.
We found this extremely helpful webpage about 50 educational video games for kids who are home schooled. Although it’s great that they’ve compiled this list for kids who are home taught, it’s just as valid for kids who are looking for something to do over the break. You can read more about it and check out the suggested games by following this link:
