Educational Insights: Inching Along Review & Giveaway

Welcome to Day 3 of my 10,000 Subscribers Celebration!

Today I have a super fun game by Educational Insights called Inching Along Measurement Game. This is a cute measuring game that is great for grades K-2. Its great for practicing measuring and basic math skills all while having fun!

What’s the Cost? $19.99

What did we think? I have to say my kids really liked this. The game comes with playing pieces, game cards, and a brightly colored ruler. The rules are fairly simple, each person takes a turn picking a card that tells them which lines to measure. The lines are titled A-F, so a card may read “A” in which case they would measure line “A” and then move that many spaces.

There are harder cards such as “A-B” so they have to measure both lines then figure out the answer and move that many spots. One thing I really liked was that the game cards are color coded. I was easily able to pick the ones without addition and subtraction so that my preschooler could play with us too!

All in all we had lots of fun measuring, and so I’ve seen this game out quite often! What is it about measuring things that kids love? I haven’t figured it out, but for some reason that activity has always been popular here!
