When it comes to homeschooling your teens, it can be challenging to find activities, social events, and organizations that are appropriate, safe, and fun. Many people worry about the lack of social interactions homeschooled teens have in comparison to their public or private school attending friends and neighbors. Fortunately, Kubb Game is the perfect outdoor activity for homeschoolers that can be used in a variety of ways, teaches a wide range of life and social skills, and is fun for teens of all ages.

First and foremost, Kubb Game provides the perfect opportunity for homeschoolers to get together and socialize in an entertaining and productive way. You can arrange a Kubb Games activity day by contacting your local homeschooling organization or group. Kubb Game can be played in the park or even in a backyard, as long as it is flat, has a soft surface, and is large enough to accommodate both the playing field and an area for the teens to participate, mingle, and observe the game. Getting homeschooled teens who live in the local community together to play Kubb Game is a great way to create a social environment and introduce teens to other teens with similar interests or lifestyles. You might also want to contact homeschooling organizations in neighboring communities and invite them to a Kubb Games tournament.

Kubb Game teaches homeschooled teens about teamwork, cooperation, and sharing. Kubb Game can be played by as few as two and as many as twenty players forming two opposing teams. However, the optimal number of players is three to six players on each team. Each Kubb Game team gets six throwing batons that can only be used once each turn in order to try to hit one of the ten Kubb Game pieces that are in play at any one time on the field. Teams must work together towards the common goal of knocking over the Kubb Game pieces and finally the king piece in the middle of the field to win the game. Teens may want to throw their batons more than once or use more than one baton during their turn. Because Kubb Game is one that encourages cooperation between each member of the team, this type of play is not allowed, teaching valuable lessons about sharing.

In addition to being a game of skill, Kubb Game is also a game of logic. As pieces are knocked over on the playing field they are thrown over to the opposite side of the field and reset wherever each piece lands. This can give a significant advantage or a disadvantage to the throwing team, so a certain amount of strategy and logic must be used to gain the best advantage. Like chess, Kubb Game is as easy or as complicated as the players make it. teens just figuring out how to play the game strategically will quickly learn how to think logically and several steps ahead to gain an advantage. There are also a set of rules during the Kubb Game play that must be followed and this can teach homeschooled teens about fairness and how to follow rules correctly.

While Kubb Game is not what you would call an overly athletic game, it does get teens playing outdoors and can teach smaller teens hand-eye coordination, as well as underhand throwing skills. Because Kubb Game does not require a high level of physical ability it allows teens who are not necessarily the star athletes the opportunity to participate in a competitive, team oriented sport. teens of all ages can play Kubb Game while gaining confidence and sharpening skills without regard to physical ability. In fact, Kubb Game can be played with homeschoolers of varying ages and still remain competitive for all involved. Minor adjustments may need to be made for smoe teens who are not able to throw the batons as far or as accurately as the adults, but play is generally unaffected as a result. Being able to participate in a team sport can teach teens good sportsmanship, respect, and proper social behavior skills.

Because Kubb Game offers an equal playing field for players of varying ages and skill levels, it appeals to those who might otherwise be hesitant to join groups. teens that are shy or who usually steer away from group activities can learn how to interact with a team and enjoy working with others. Rather than having set teams with set players, consider rotating in new players on a regular basis so everyone gets a chance to throw the Kubb Game baton and be a part of the fun. Kubb Game play relies on team effort and does not place the spotlight on any one player, so it is the perfect game for those homeschooled teens that try to blend in so they go unnoticed. Before you know it you will probably find the shy teens at the front of the line waiting for their turn to knock over a Kubb Game piece or two.

Kubb Game can also be used for teaching number drills or math skills. Many people place numbers on their Kubb Game pieces that can be seen by all members of the team. You can adjust the Kubb Game rules so that players are required to knock over pieces in numerical order to teach counting. Or you can practice simple math skills by having players knock over only blocks that will add up to a specific sum number given at each turn. You can also paint your Kubb Game set pieces different colors.

Basically, Kubb Game can be used any way you like to teach your homeschoolers valuable life, social, and learning skills while also having fun. Whether you get together with just a handful of neighborhood homeschoolers or dozens of them throughout your entire community, Kubb Game can be a great excuse to get outside to enjoy a little sunshine and is a wonderful tool to use to teach an endless number of lessons and skills.
