I’m so excited to share some super fun news today about Osmo’s newest game Osmo Math Wizard & The Enchanted World Games. Osmo gifted this game to us a couple of weeks ago and Luke has been playing it every day and loving it so much! We’ve been long-time fans of Osmo and have enjoyed so many of their educational games throughout the years. This game was perfect for Luke because he’s currently learning multiplication and is most definitely a visual learner, so playing these games has really helped math click for him in so many new ways.
That’s one of the things that I love about Osmo games – kids are having fun and playing and don’t even realize they are learning. It’s pretty neat! This Math Wizard & The Enchanted World Game helps kids learn repeated addition so they have a solid foundation for multiplication, advanced addition and subtraction, number decomposition and analytical skills, too. Osmo games are great to help build a child’s confidence and it’s definitely screen time that this Mama feels less guilty about!
I love how these Math Wizard games come in these super sturdy boxes that keep everything organized, but that also look super cool and fit the theme of the game. Luke always loves the cool packaging and was excited to have his name written on the front cover of this one. He made sure I did a little smiley face, too. ;) Osmo thinks of everything and the way this game is packaged definitely makes it easy to store and keep organized.
Math Wizard & The Enchanted World Games includes two mats – the LunchBox mat and the Juice Mat. It also includes 22 fruit & veggie pieces, 12 fruit strip pieces and 1 magical coin. You do need either an iPad or a Fire tablet and the Osmo base to play this game. Luke’s favorite to play was the Juice Mat because he giggled and smiled through most of those games and he loves the basketball game. There are lots of different sports games that you can compete in and so it was definitely something that kept him interested and having fun. He also really loved the Enchanted Store – where you take the gems that you earned and use them to buy different clothing pieces, hats and even footwear to make you even more awesome! He thought it was the coolest thing and so funny! The game is super easy to navigate and provided hours of fun and learning for Luke! He has asked to play it every day, even outside of his regular school time, which has provided lots of great practice for his Math, without him really even realizing it.
Some other things that Luke loved about the game: the silly characters and their voices, how you could jump up and grab a super fruit to make you run faster and definitely the corn missile. You’ll just have to play the game to learn more about that! Ha!
I really loved how in the beginning of the game, the parent is able to pick the level of difficulty so you can adjust it to fit your child’s needs and when multiple children play the game at different times, it’s easy to modify for each child. Such a great feature and allows your child to go from an “Apprentice” level all the way to a “Wizard” level.
I’ve found that hands-on play is such a great way for kids to learn and when you have visual learners or even if you just want to break out of the monotony of a regular school day – Osmo games are a great way to do just that! I’m really thankful for these cool educational games that not only use lots of imagination, but makes learning fun. Sometimes my kids can get bored with the typical day-to-day subjects and these games bring those subjects to life in new ways and is a great way to mix it all up! I highly recommend them.
You can purchase this Osmo game and so many others at: Playosmo.com, Amazon, and be sure to also check your local retailers.
Well, it’s official – Luke and I both think this Math Wizard & the Enchanted World Games is a winner for sure! It’s definitely made Math a bit more magical.
