What is fun about trying to enhance the educational process for my kids, without a real agenda, is that things tend to unfold based on what we talk about over dinner. Tonight, we got into a discussion about spy gadgets, devices, secret compartments, and innocent looking things that turn out to be weapons. Pretty soon, the boys were coming up with their own ideas of sinister designs. I thought it would be fun to look at a video on YouTube that explained some of the more memorable gadgets of James Bond. We found this one.
We also played the game Pentago which is a strategy game. Here is the description from the Amazon website.

I am not a paid promoter of this game, I just grew up playing strategy games with my family, and I love playing thinking games with my kids. They have fun and they don’t even realize that they are learning to use their brains in mathematical ways!
