Educational Board Games to encourage speaking your minority language

We love interesting board games in our home - it brings the family together, and we can simply enjoy some quality time around the dinner table. We recently talked about Bandido here.

One thing I additionally like about board games and card games is their practicality in combining language awareness with fun activities. Learning doesn’t need to be gruelling or overly structured with worksheet all the time. Our “language favourites” that are useful for preschool age are the following. I’ve picked our top-most game per language.
