One of my favorite magazines is Family Fun. While super cute craft projects and creative food projects typically dominate the pages, I'm drawn toward the underlying theme of literacy this publication incorporates into each issue. Here are two examples from the October issue. Give them a try in your classroom or in your own home ... or both.
Math Evolve: This app, which is available for pretty much any device, lets kids of all ages tune up their math literacy skills through exploration of three creative environments: microscopic, ocean, and outerspace. In each environment, players grow stronger by solving math problems, which allows them to defeat the enemy (super cute aliens and such). The app can be customized to meet the needs of each player. Cost: $1.99!
Street Smarts: This is a great game to play in the car, especially on a long road trip. Players take turns trying to make a sentence out of the letters of the license plate from the car in front of you. the first player to make a complete sentence wins the round. Here's the example from Family Fun:
