TDAH - Playing Games with the Kids - Days 9 -13
Things have been extremely busy with work, home, etc., so I haven’t been able to post as often as I would like.
I have maintained the challenge of playing games with the kids everyday with one exception. I was gone on Saturday and fortunately my parents stepped in and played an abundance of games with the kids that day.
The game of choice on day 9 was Chutes and Ladders. The version that we own is the Sesame Street edition. The game is the same except with Sesame Street characters. My daughter won as Zoe, my wife was Elmo, I was Big Bird and my son was Cookie Monster.
Since day 9 our game of choice has been the same game each day. That game is Mancala. It is a simple game that originated in Africa. The goal is to capture more gems than your opponent. My daughter is really good and takes extreme pleasure in beating dad.
We maybe “stuck” on playing Mancala for quite some time as we all enjoy it so much.
