EduStic’s Guess What! Honored with 2014 Teachers' Choice Award for the Family

SAN DIEGO - Nov. 25, 2013 - PRLog -- EduStic’s recently released game Guess What! is the proud recipient of a 2014 Teachers’ Choice Award for the Family.  This award, given each year by Learning Magazine, and its parent company, the Education Center, recognizes excellence in educational and classroom products.  Entries are judged by teachers based on their effectiveness in real-life classroom situations and by parents for their ability to foster continued learning outside the classroom.

The Education Center also publishes The Mailbox Magazine, Teachers’ Helper Magazine, and The Mailbox Yearbook—a series of skill-based books.  All of these publications feature classroom-tested resources with ready-to-go activities that reinforce important skills, especially those related to new Common Core Standards.  The Education Center was founded in 1973 by Marge and Jake Michel, two teachers frustrated by the lack of practical activities for the classroom.

Guess What! offers parents and educators a fresh way to introduce geometric shapes to young learners.   Players roll a die, flip a card with six object words, and are asked to build everyday objects with fifteen well-known shapes—a square, a circle, a semi-circle, as well as several types of rectangles and triangles among them.  Can players build their objects in two minutes or less?  Players of all ages will enjoy the challenge of connecting geometric shapes to everyday objects.  Best of all, with EduStic’s unique “cling” material, Guess What! can be played on windows, mirrors, dry erase boards, tiles refrigerators, and other clean, glossy surfaces.

“I’m very happy to be honored with a Teachers’ Choice Award,” said EduStic founder and CEO Athalean Gee.  “As a teacher myself, this is the exact audience for which I created my product—educators and parents.  This game is also a great way to introduce learners to geometry using a concrete-pictorial approach--something highly emphasized in the new Common Core Standards.”  In the words of one Teachers’ Choice evaluator:  “Guess What! is pure family fun with an educational twist.  It’s great for kinesthetic learners.  My boys did not get bored with this one!”
