Imagine a game where your child gets to be the hero—facing dragons, solving mysteries, or exploring ancient ruins. Now imagine that same game also builds reading skills, boosts confidence, teaches teamwork, and encourages creative problem-solving. That’s exactly what tabletop roleplaying games (RPGs) like Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) offer. At GameSchoolCon , roleplaying games are one of the most popular and transformative experiences for kids—and it’s easy to see why. Whether your child is shy, imaginative, analytical, or all of the above, RPGs offer an incredible blend of learning and fun.
