We’ve long said that teachers are lucky if they’re able to use board games for teaching. There are so many options that cover everything from science to history to language and a lot in between. Sometimes it’s about thinking outside the box. The Million Dollar Doodle by Flying Leap Games is one such example. While it’s a game, it lends itself to the classroom because it involves springboarding someone else’s idea. We included The Million Dollar Doodle in our guide to party games because it is a party game. But we think it would make an awesome gift for a teacher on your shopping list! Pick up a copy for them and enter this giveaway so you have a copy for yourself if you win!

Jeopardy or Trivial Pursuit .

I recently got a game called Poetry Slam which I think could work well in a classroom.
I loved Trivial Pursuit growing up. I think that game for a specific class and age group will help kids want to gain more general knowledge.
