This is a classic, family board game that can help younger children develop visual reasoning, working memory, and attention skills. The game requires no reading but students must use counting skills to move the correct number of spaces shown on the dice. Each player tries to be the first to go around the board and have four pawns reach home while attempting to strategically block opponents or protect themselves by landing on a safe space. This is an easy game to learn and offers little opportunity for arguments since the rules are clear and basic. Parcheesi is unlikely to be a long-term favorite but can provide some fun across a broad age range.
