Childish Games : )

I recently started working with kids.

This amazing opportunity gives me a great

reason to revisit some old faves:

1. Clue

2. Candyland

3. Chutes & Ladders

4. Hungry Hungry Hippos

{haven't #4 played yet, but want to}

What games did you love as a kid?

Which ones would you like to bring back to game night now?

Mom: Thanks for letting me win & playing with me even
after I {sometimes} threw the board on the floor.

Kids I work with now: I promise to let you win
& never ever throw the board on the floor.
