You've learned how to play board games, now learn how to TEACH them too! A YouTube show all about how to teach your friends and family any game. Check it out here: https://youtube.com/@howtoteachtabletop Hosted by @jcw.gay
Someone just reached out via email to say that they really enjoyed my videos and it seriously made my day. I can't thank all of you enough for the support you've given me over the past year 💙
In case you missed it, a new How to Teach episode got posted!
This, naturally, was my favorite part:
And as always, you can check out the patreon page for the teacher's guide, either as a PDF or image file to print out and leave in the box for the next time you get some combining robot action to the table!
New video! 🤖✨I've combined forces with @zephyrworkshop.bsky.social to bring you the ultimate way to get AEGIS: Second Ignition to the table! Anime shenanigans abound!
Go give it a watch!
I've put together my goals for the channel and it's related content for 2026! Go give it a read if you're interested in seeing where things are headed for How to Teach 😁✨

Woohoo! The numbers are good! I like numbers.
As I work my way through all the #boardgames (give or take a few), each one gets a Teacher's Guide! This piece of paper can be printed out and left in the box or just saved to your phone and you'll be squared away to teach Squirrel Away the next time you play!

Neeeeew episode! It's time to learn how to teach Squirrel Away from @floodgategames.bsky.social!
If you want to see me teach this game in person, I'll be at the Floodgate booth at #PAXU pretty much all weekend, so swing by and you might get a special demo!

An incredibly handsome 28-year-old poses in a thumbnail for a YouTube show called how to teach, a giant red arrow hastily drawn points to the date September 9th 2024. The man in the thumbnail has no idea what awaits him in the coming year.
Happy birthday to How to Teach (and me lol)! 🎉🎊🎂
It's been amazing. How to Teach launched my video production career a year ago, and now I'm animating/producing videos full-time.
A little teaser, the next one drops on the 16th on a game from @brotherwisegames.bsky.social 👀
Here's to another year!

I made an announcement on patreon that the next episode was going to be on Codenames, and I had the full script and plan for the episode done.
I'm not going forward with the episode unless something is done about this, which is a shame.

Hey I'm looking to make a new channel trailer and I'd love to have a comma in my subscriber count so if 17 people could just go do that real quick, that'd be great thanks. 💙👌

Almost to 1k Subscribers.... 👀🎲
Yoooooo #BGGCON folk! I'm here at the convention and I'll be keeping an eye out for those "teacher wanted" signs 😁👍
If there's a game you want to learn, let me know and, if things work out, I could teach you and your group! 😁

He has a brown beard and is wearing a black open shirt with pink flowers on, and a black t-shirt featuring a teal-coloured bear-like character. A copy of the board game Let's Go! To Japan is on the table to the left.

There are way too many words to put in the alt text, but there is a pdf version that should work with any screen readers that you need! You can get it for free over on my patreon.
And don't forget the Sensei's Guide! This little handout sums up the whole video/teaching process so you don't have to remember the whole thing. Print it out and leave it in the box so you're ready the next time you Let's Go! to Japan!
New episode! This time we're Let's Go!ing to Japan!

Kingdom Builder is one of my favorite games of all time because of this. I can teach it in under five minutes and we can play it for hours and still find new ways the simple rules reveal emergent complexities.
Eyyyyy, thank you for the shoutout Suz! Go check out the Salt and Sass podcast talking about @unpub.bsky.social, it really encapsulates what makes the convention so special.

It's one of the reasons why I say to set the goal as part of "the big three" that I recommend everyone set up at the top of their teach! It's in every episode over on youtube.com/@howtoteachtabletop :D
