The girls are always creating images out of found objects.  They are very creative and can turn anything they find into something else.  I had never thought of it in the terms of a game and that is just what Morphology is!

Morphology consists of objects, word cards, a timer and a die.  You just divide into teams, then one person draws a card from the deck.  They then have to create the word with the objects that are provided.  Then your team mates have to guess what it is in the time that is allotted.  If your team guesses correctly you get to move your team frog forwards on the lily pads! The first team to reach the finish wins!

The items below are what comes with the game.  The kids thought it was so fun!  We just teamed up the non readers with a reader helper to make it where they could still play the game.  They are so creative and they were fantastic at the game.

This is a game that can be enjoyed as a family or with friends.  I could see it being even more fun with a few drinks added in!

Morphology can be purchased at Barnes & Noble!  You can also order online!

I received Morphology to facilitate this review.  No compensation was received and all opinions are my own.

I love it so much that I couldn’t find my copy for  like a week.  I was frantically searching the house for it and complaining.  I was so distraught that a friend bought me a new copy to shut me up.  Seriously, I love it that much.

There are lists that show you how to homeschool at a low investment and still give your child a full education.  This book will show you how to use resources around you in ways you didn’t think of.  Frugal homeschooling can be brilliant homeschooling!  Finding new uses for things is a great skill to teach your children.  Feed creativity, don’t kill it by buying everything pre-packaged and ready to go.

There are topics that cover everything and once you start reading you will have a alot of duh moments where you think…”Well, why didn’t I think of that!?”

homeschool bookThere is a cake in there in the science section that is a lot of fun to make.  It teaches kids about the reactions of different things when you mix them together.  When you are done with this experiment you have a yummy chocolate cake!  If you only buy one book this year…make it this one!
