Come join in the fun with games of old and new. Learn again how much fun it is to play games ”unplugged” with your children. FREE to all ages.

Did you know that playing board games with your children can make them smarter? According to a recent study, middle school students can make substantial improvements in problem-solving ability – even general IQ – when they are taught general principles of critical thinking offered while playing board games. Playing board games also helps the whole family in forming strategies, recognizing colors, shapes, and words, and learning to work together.
Come join in the fun next Saturday from 1 - 3 at the Downtown Redwood City Public Library.
