We've created an awesome game with the help of specialists in early childhood education that encourages our kids to think outside the box, and to keep themselves busy while developing many highly important skills.
The game does not require anything special to be purchased - your kids already have everything they need around them - from unused gifts to old mittens!
Kids learn to become independent in their game play and learn to reuse what they have on hand, seeing items with new eyes and appreciation.
This also allows them to occupy themselves - without any screens - in a safe and familiar environment, building problem-solving skills, and most importantly, having a fantastic time.
How great is that?

What skills are developed with this game?
So many articles are out explaining how children need pretend play and less screen time in their lives. Check out our Resources page in order to see more information on the importance of each item mentioned below.
VOCABULARY DEVELOPMENT |
Vocabulary development is a big part of Inventa Game, since when you become a character or take on a new pretend role, you need to be able to express what's going on.
|
EARLY READERS |
Early readers can start practicing their newfound skills with the simple, easy to read words written on each tile.
Your child does not need to be able to read in order to participate in the game, thanks to the drawings that accompany each word. Vowels have been colored differently in order to help them be easily identified. |
PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS |
Sometimes, strange combinations pop-up - with over 15 000 different possible outcomes, it could happen!
Problem solving skills are very much developed in Inventa Game. Often a younger child will start by doing some pretend play with only one or two of the tiles to begin with. Once he or she gets more advanced, logic and imagination create possible ways to play out whatever has been picked out in the three categories - and problem solving skills are at their finest. |
PRACTICING A SECOND LANGUAGE |
Tiles in Inventa Game are bilingual (French and English), allowing for practicing a second language easily, should your child be so inclined.
|
IMAGINATION |
Inventa Game offers children a chance to really imagine anything they desire. From special jobs to funny situations, role play and pretend play are highly stimulated! This helps children express their emotions, get into contact with their environment and people surrounding them, and allows them to determine activities they like.
|
SELF CONFIDENCE |
Since there are no winners of losers in Inventa Game, it really offers every child a chance to express himself or herself, while learning new things and showing themselves what they're capable of.
Whether they play alone or in a group, all kids are proud of the progress they've made, whether on the situation they just played out, or the fact that they were able to figure out uses for objects that surround them! |
