For Super Bowl Sunday, we went over to my parent's. My mom taught Caleb the board game "Sorry" so we have "inherited" it early among other board games. DH has a meeting tonight, so it will just be Caleb and me after 6:30. I am planning on doing a Caleb's Clues for playing a game after dinner and after Daddy leaves.
First clue: The dining room table (where we will play)
Second clue: The couch in Caleb's room (a little loveseat in his room that he does timeout on, and then has to say sorry after)
Third clue: the closet where the board game is
There are a few games in that closet, so at that point, he can choose which game he wants to play, but "Sorry" has been a favorite since Sunday (okay, so only 2 days). Now, I just have to make the "clues" for Caleb to follow. I am debating making a little paper that says "clue" or trying to make riddles or poems for him to figure out.
Yesterday, however, was bad after school. If he has as bad a night as he did last night, "Caleb's Clues" may not be played tonight. We will have to file it for some other night. Wish us luck!
Big luck! Preston is now learning about the concept of board games, however he really struggles with the "rules" of the game. For example, checkers. That one is a big problem. lol
ReplyDeleteCheckers is tough. The only way I am teaching Caleb that right now is on my phone app. He really doesn't like that it won't let you cheat. LOL Some games are easier than others. We simplify a lot of games, like Monopoly and Life. Makes it a lot easier. When Caleb actually figures out numbers, we will work on "Go Fish" or "War" with playing cards. But numbers aren't quite on the radar yet.
