Welcome

Welcome to My Dad Points

I started these challenges for my kids years ago to encourage independent and critical thinking, raise awareness on current events, and challenge the kids with fun education. The kids earn Dad Points as tokens, then can spend those tokens on some cool prizes from the Dad Points prize shelf.

I draw challenges from a wide variety of current events covering sports, science, business, politics, religion, and just some fun ones. Some are just random thoughts or web surfs I run across.

The challenges run in different series:

  • RATS: Read and Think Something
  • SMART: Summer Math And Reading Time
  • CHOOSE: Challenges with an emphasis on making good choices
  • QUICKSMART: Competitive challenges that require a quick reply
  • TWOSMART: Similar to QUICKSMART except multiple awards are given
  • WORLD: Challenges about the world, geography and culture
  • LEADorFOLLOW: Leadership related challenges
  • SPECIAL: Other unusual challenges

Whether you home school, just enjoy challenges, or are looking for ways to connect with your kids, we hope you enjoy the challenges herein.
