The Olympic Games in Greece and Back-to-School Season Provide Perfect Timing for New Educational Game
The Olympic Games in Greece have ignited an interest in Greek Mythology. Olympic fever combined with back-to-school shopping are leading many parents to Mythmatical Battles, the educational dueling card game that uses Greek Mythology to teach multiplication.
Lambertville, MI August 15, 2004 -- Mythmatical Battles is a small game company thats reaping big rewards because of a connection to Greece. Mythmatical Battles is a great way to teach kids multiplication and classic mythology, but for success with any new brand you need a little luck too, says Michael Regnier, company founder and inventor of Mythmatical Battles.
That little luck came on Friday the 13th with the opening of the Olympic Games in Greece. Mythmatical Battles combines multiplication facts with classic mythology from Celtic, Norse, Egyptian and Greek cultures. We have an entire card deck based on Greek mythology. We created the deck because of our own interest in the Greek myths but right now the whole world is interested in all things Greek because of the games. Regnier said.
Mythmatical Battles is proving to be a great way for kids to learn the legends of Greek mythology. Olympic fever and back-to-school season are the perfect combination for Mythmatical Battles. You can use your kids interest in Greece to teach mythology and math, Regnier advises. Mythmatical Battles is carving its own niche in the tough field of educational games because it puts a new twist on flashcards by combining multiplication facts with legends and heroes from diverse cultures.
The game was inspired by Regniers children who played dozens of dueling card games but were also under pressure to succeed in school and on state testing. Kids have a huge capacity to memorize numbers if the facts are tied to something they are interested in. Legends from Mt. Olympus, Asgard, the Nile, and ancient Britain provide a great backdrop for learning math and classic folklore, says Regnier.
The Greek Double Deck set is currently selling fast due to the historic return of the Olympic Games to its birthplace in Greece. The Greek Deck is paired with Celtic legends. Norse and Egyptian versions are also gaining in popularity. Mythmatical Battles is targeted to kids 8-12 who need to learn multiplication facts.
The legends are described in age appropriate terms and Mythmatical Battles creative approach to teaching multiplication has already garnered national awards. Right out of the gate we got a Dr. Toy Award and some terrific reviews, says Regnier. Toy experts and reviewers have consistently commended Mythmatical Battles for providing an educational alternative to the dueling and collecting card crazes out there and for re-energizing the traditional flashcard method of learning multiplication.
All kids need to learn multiplication facts. The fun part is also introducing them to Apollo and Artemis especially now, when all eyes look to Greece, says Regnier. Mythmatical Battles is available at select specialty retailers for $15.99 and at the company website http://www.mythmaticalbattles.com.
