Today, I have rounded up 13 Free Printable History Board Games. You’ll love the other history games on my page. I think there is a great lack of fun history board games.
Besides learning history can be more engaging at times when the kids can play games with each other instead of touching an app.
Don’t we have enough games where our kids play alone? I really try to keep the sibling rivalry camaraderie going too.
Not only do history board games fight the doldrums, but they make learning about history come alive. I know you’ll love one or two of these.

Are these games aligned with the common core standards?
Tina Robertson says
Hi Audrey,
I don’t follow common core, I just try to use common sense :-).
So my standard was not looking for ones that align with common core but that engage my kids. Have a great day!
