Common+games+that+help+with+learning

Toys are helpful in building up language skills. The bonus of adding commercial games is that once the child has learned how to play the game the child will be able to play it with their peers.

Uno is a card game that can assist in building attention skills and executive functioning skills of planning and organizing. The game is simple but requires some strategy to play well.

Interestingly the game was invented in 1971 by Merle Robbins after he had an arguement over rules in the game of 'Crazy Eights". Uno is very similar to Crazy Eights.The player has to match the color or number played before him or her. There are wild cards and cards that switch the rotation of turn taking. The object of the game is to get rid of all your cards. When you have one card left you need to warn everyone with the cry of 'Uno'.

To play well you have to pay attention to the color and numbers of your hand and potentially guess what you neighbor must have.
