Abstract
A multi-level educational game apparatus and method for teaching children and adults language, mathematical, and other skills. The educational game includes a board and a plurality of cards. The board comprises a plurality of rows and columns, each having a letter, word, or picture imprinted thereon. The cards have letters, words, numbers, symbols, or pictures imprinted thereon that correspond to the participant's boards. The board game includes multi-levels of difficulty corresponding to varying individual language and other ability levels. An instructor will read aloud the card and give a brief explanation of the card's contents. When a participant recognizes the cards contents on his board, he will cover the respective box with a marker. The object of the game is to complete a row or other predetermined sequence of boxes prior to another participant. The game is designed to alleviate the frustrations of individuals who are having difficulty with the board level as well as entertaining those individuals who have lost interest with learning language and other skills. Additionally, the game is designed to assist learning impaired individuals with language skills.
