We are so proud to announce that a game we printed here at Ad Magic –  Whats Your Cosmo – recently won yet ANOTHER award for education

The Academic’s Choice Award!!

This product is an interesting variation on poker and other card games in the name of learning. I can see how use of this product can improve organizational and analytic thinking skills, in addition to understanding the role of probabilities in decision-making processes.

Inventor Lisa Schroeder is passionate about her game – and it shows through in the kudos she has received for it!!  We are proud to be a part of her success and are encouraged by the wonderful acclaim she has received with this game!

Inventors are Passionate about inventing game. I am passionate about that too. Today I spent several hours on the phone speaking to an inventor. She is a creator of  educational games for children because she was a kindergarten teacher 30 years.  She had tried all of her things out during that time teaching and was pleased with the way many of her homemade games worked.  Now – she is finally ready to print them professionally. I am always honored to work with inventors  like this and I look forward to doing it for many more years to come. Our new site   Educational playing cards will be a vehicle to help creators of educational board games and educational card games get their inventions to the marketplace.

Some of the custom card games for children are letter and spelling games – some are math games and still others are history games or contain historical or geographic references.  All have their own unique angles which help children learn in fun and interesting ways.

If you have a game and wish to feature it on our educational games site –please contact us!
