NEW Educational Games to Keep Young Minds Sharp for Back-to School

September 1, 2018 by Juliann

As summertime comes to and end, and school begins, it helps to transition your little ones minds for back-to-school in a fun and educational way. Learning needs to be fun!

With “play for a purpose” being a popular buzz phrase within the toy industry, more toy companies are developing games that are engaging and educational. Hoyle Kids Games is helping drive this trend through their two new card games, Super Me! and Monkey May I?, which help promote emotional intelligence, self-awareness and empathy in children ages 4 to 6.

Monkey May I?

Monkey May I? is an emotional intelligence game that your kids will go bananas over! With easy set up and easy play that includes elements of the kid-favorite “Simon Says”. Help reinforce your children’s social skills like making good choices, self awareness and self control with this entertaining and fast action game.nMonkey May I? is easy to learn and a fun game for two to four player, four to six years of age.

You just will flip over an Action card, Make a good choice and collect Monkey Money. The little monkey with the most monkey money at the end wins the game!

Sharks are Wild



Kids dive into Sharks Are Wild because it’s easy to learn and starts a jolly-good time! You win my game by being the first player to collect five Gold Coins. To win each gold coin, you create a sequence of five numbered cards. And you can use my shark card to replace any number in the sequence. That’s why they call me wild, mate! But that’s only the beginning. Once kids master Level One, there’s more fun and learning in store.

Piggy Bank

I don’t mean to hog all the credit, but my game is a Gold Seal winner at teaching kids ages 4-6 how to add and subtract by fives and tens. Okay, maybe the folks at HOYLE® helped a little too. You see, Piggy Bank is so easy to learn and so much fun, kids have no idea they’re gaining valuable math skills.

Catch N’ Fish


Yes, darling. I’m a star. (Sorry, my contract says no autographs.) But after playing Catch N’ Fish, it’s kids ages 4 to 6 who become the stars… star pupils, that is. You see, the folks at HOYLE® have created a positively fabulous new game for 2 to 4 players that so easy to learn and fun to play, it makes learning to add and subtract simply irresistible.

SUPER ME!




Super Me! is an emotional intelligence game that includes elements of kid-favorites like Memory and Matching! With easy set up and taking turns matching the situation to the emergency, you can reinforce social skills like making good choices, helping others and having empathy. Super Me! is easy to learn and a fun game for two to four player, four to six years of age.

Just flip over an Emergency! card. Make a Super Me! match and be a Superhero. ANYONE can be a SUPER HERO! by helping!

These games would be a perfect gift idea for kids ages 4-6, and they are also perfect to take with you when you are traveling with youngsters.

About This Blog

Juliann, founder of Beautiful Moms

Welcome to Beautiful Moms!

Hi! I'm Juliann, wife of 33 years to Jon, a mom to four amazing children, and a proud grandma to five precious little ones. I live in Oregon.

When I started Beautiful Moms in 2008, my goal was to connect with other moms who were also raising young children. It became a creative outlet for me to share my thoughts on motherhood, review products I loved, and work with brands that help make family life a little easier.

More importantly, I wanted moms to feel seen. It's so easy to lose ourselves in the demands of caring for everyone else and forget that our own well-being matters, too. Every mom deserves to feel beautiful, valued, and appreciated, no matter what stage of motherhood she's in.

Over the years, Beautiful Moms has evolved right along with me. My children are now all grown up, and I'm blessed to be a grandma.

Life changes so quickly

One thing that hasn't changed is my passion for encouraging other moms—it's simply expanded to include every season of motherhood—from pregnancy and baby's first years to raising teens, becoming an empty nester, navigating healthy aging, and everything in between.


Myelie, contributor at Beautiful Moms

I'm excited to have my daughter, Myelie, join the Beautiful Moms team as a new contributor. As the mom of a newborn and a busy toddler, she brings a fresh perspective on modern motherhood.

She lives in Alabama with her military husband, so she also understands the unique challenges of military life, frequent moves, and building a happy home wherever life takes you.
