What we have sold to others

Maths teachers always go for our selection of dice with symbols, shapes and money and they like our lateral and logical thinking puzzles. For younger children we have several different maths snap card games.

Games can help children visualise different cultures and periods in history. Mancala from Africa is very popular or you might like to try the Victorian parlour game of Anagrams.

As well as selling games for teaching we often sell games that will be used as a general classroom resource, games that lots of teachers were introduced to when they were at school.

These games are used to develop all sorts of skills, not least social skills and taking turns. Othello is a great modern logical thinking game.

We also sell games for use in school clubs and while chess clubs are always popular we find that the game of Go is becoming a firm favourite.
