6 Books for Play Monopoly Day
It’s Play Monopoly Day! And I have to be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever played a full game of Monopoly in my life. Growing up, my siblings and I played a lot of board games, but often Monopoly ended with someone getting frustrated and the game board being flipped over. It’s a fairly extensive game and we just didn’t have the stamina to get through it all.
Today, I’m sharing some great books that include games at the core of the story. Whether you’re learning about the inventor of video games or trying to escape Mr. Lemoncello’s Library, these books are sure to take you on an adventure! Plus, you can’t forget a classic like Jumanji! With the holiday season coming up, board games and read alouds are a great way to spend time together as a family.
