Let's Play a Game


I love games.  Board games, card games, word games... if it's game night, count me in!  When I was a kid, we always played games when I visited my grandparents.  Yahtzee was a favorite, along with Boggle.  Later, we discovered Pass the Pigs.  As a teenager, I played a lot of poker with my friends, usually with M&Ms as the currency.  The different colors had different values, as did plain and peanut.  The winner was usually the person who didn't eat all their 'money'.  In college, my room was right across from the laundry room, so my friends all hung out in my room when they did laundry.  I became really good at playing Rummy, although I swear A cheated :unsure:  Now, I have a shelf full of games at work and use them a lot in my therapy sessions.  They're motivating, fun, and promote learning.  Now, let's write some prompts featuring games.

Quote Valkyrie: "Later, we discovered Pass the Pigs." 

And I don't think Val and her family went out to the farm and started passing piglets around, because older pigs would be too heavy.

Pass the Pigs is a game that has little plastic pigs that you roll like dice.  You get points based on the position they land.  A snouter - where they land on their nose - is worth the most, I believe 🐷

I might be able to get back to it later, but it won't be for a while.  

Yessss, BW you can do it! Prompts have no deadlines, only the ones we ourselves setup.
