Popular Family Board Game “The Sock Game” Hits Local Schools and Holiday Clubs and makes a splash!

Students and children across Sheffield are discovering a whole new way to develop their skills and have fun, thanks to the introduction of The Sock Game into local schools and holiday clubs. This exciting rollout is being driven by the passionate efforts of Nigel at Imagination Gaming, who continues to connect young minds with educational and engaging board games.

Sock Game Fun!

The Sock Game is a fast-paced, sensory-based game that challenges players to race against the clock (and each other) to find objects hidden inside a giant sock. With its blend of tactile play, teamwork, and friendly competition, the game has quickly become a hit among educators and youth group leaders.

And now get your fingers at the ready for The Sock game Junior. Take some kids (ok, adults can play too) and a sock filled with 10 fun items and you've got yourself a cracking family game. With great new rounds teaching colours and letters, you can even make the game your own by adding items from the toy box.

Nigel, a long-time advocate for the power of games-based learning through his work with Imagination Gaming, has been instrumental in facilitating the game’s integration into educational environments. His strong relationships with schools and clubs across the region have allowed The Sock Game to reach hundreds of children, sparking laughter, learning, and plenty of competitive spirit.

“We’ve seen first-hand how engaging The Sock Game is for children of all ages,” said Nigel. “It’s a brilliant way to develop key skills like problem-solving, communication, and sensory awareness—all while having a great time. When running activities in schools or during the holidays it’s essential to have games that can be taught and understood easily that give a great experience with lots of replayability. Sock game and its JR cousin do just that!”

Asmodee UK is proud to support initiatives like this, which demonstrate the educational value of play and the unique ability of games to bring people together.
