Ready to bring Paddington to life in your homeschool? If you're diving into A Bear Called Paddington with your Bookish Adventure, why not add some hands-on learning with bear-themed board games? These delightful games are perfect for bringing Paddington’s world to life, encouraging curiosity, and adding a dash of marmalade-flavored fun to your homeschool. From navigating bustling train stations to solving building zoos for bears, these board games turn your lessons into a charming British adventure!
The Big Clean-Up Game
Paddington has left a trail of marmalade! Players choose a character, a slice of bread, and 6 marmalade pieces. Roll the dice, move, and if you land on a dice space, roll again. If you match the number, add a piece of marmalade to your bread. The first to complete their marmalade image wins!
The Bears and The Bees
The Bears and The Bees is a strategic tile-placement game where the first to play all their cards wins. With 104 beautifully illustrated hexagonal cards featuring honeycombs, bees, flowers, and bears, each game offers a unique challenge. It’s a fun, repeat-worthy game you’ll love to play again and again!
Bear Down!
On each turn, slide in water tiles to make the river flow, jump salmon up the waterfall, and move your bear. Then use strategy to block other bears and figure out when to risk moving to the edge of the waterfall. As the game goes on that’s where the most fish will be, but if you get too close and the river washes you over it’s . . . bear down!
Bärenpark
Enter the world of bears in the Barenpark Board Game and design the bear park of your dreams. Strategically place bear enclosures, animal houses, and shops to complete areas, score points, and create a captivating park.
Next Station London
London is a flip and draw game using connections, line drawing and route building mechanics. In this game the city of London has commissioned you to redesign its underground network. You will need to optimize connections, serve as many sights as possible and exploit the tunnels that pass under the Thames while being careful to respect the specifications set by the city.
Ticket to Ride: London
Immerse yourself in the vibrant world of 1970s London with Ticket to Ride: London, a quick and engaging board game. Race around the city to claim the most important bus lines, strategically connecting Districts as you go.
