Practical Homeschooling Booklets

Educational and Life-Skills Games

Children learn better when they use their whole bodies and all of their senses. Learning from books can be tedious for many students and can easily become a daily chore that is met with reluctance. No matter what your style of homeschooling this range of inexpensive booklets will enhance your children's learning through play. Revisit some of your favourite childhood games with any of these booklets.

Bring back the challenge and excitement to learning by supplementing study periods in each subject area with Kathi Wyldeck's educational and life skill games. These provide a natural and enjoyable way to learn while doing what children do best - play!
