So, these board games are suggestions for a variety of different ages. Pick and choose the games you feel are most suitable for your child’s maturity and educational level.

Or, any time you want the kids (and adults) to learn more about our country’s history because that’s important for everyone to learn.
So, while some of these board games deal with war, war is an important part of our country’s history. If you’re choosing patriotic board games for younger kids, you may want to choose the Lewis & Clark board game.
Or the Brain Quest states game would work well until they are older. Then, they can better grasp the concept of war in our history. So, younger kids may want to try a few of these patriotic origami DIYs because they are easy to do and a great way to show off your patriotism.

Those all look like great games to play. I need to get all of them and make a fun weekend out of it!
Sounds like fun!
I think the Lewis and Clark game sounds like a lot of fun! I always loved the Oregon Trail computer game, and that sounds like a board game version of it, kind of!
I used to love that computer game too!
I don’t think we’ve played any of these. Great list!
Thanks, Laura!
