16. Playing board games

16. Playing board games

Many board games don’t require much in the way of interaction except to roll a dice or move your token. So you can just sit back and relax while listening to music!

Whether it’s classics like Monopoly, Yahtzee, Sorry!, Scrabble, Clue, or even playing trivia games with friends, all these can be combined with great tunes which will make them that much better.

The whole family can get involved too – it’s great for bonding and will help kids learn to listen (and follow) along with music more.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
