Learning Resources LER5052 Review: Sum Swamp Addition and Subtraction Game
Kids as young as 5 or 6 will love learning basic math skills playing this Sum Swamp Addition and Subtraction Game from Learning Resources. Reinforcing the basic math they’re learning in school, the board game involves 4 swamp critters attempting to move around the board by adding or subtracting the numbers on the die, landing on short cuts, and avoiding the endless loop. Game rounds can be completed within 10 minutes, so it doesn’t become tedious for you or your children. Kids who otherwise struggle with math clamor for this game. It’s available for $18.33.
