Childhood Board Games...Your Move..
Writing a string from "Your Move... I was thinking of family games and families, Once Upon A Time.
My father was the one who taught us board games such as checkers, dominos. He was a whiz with dominos. I tried my best to beat the man when we played board games. He knew the game by what was out in his hand and bluffing us. LOL
I was caught with big six most of the times. LOL He had the "Points" and I had the dominos. Dad had me pulling
dominos. He finally told me what to do and how to keep in my head what was out and possibilities what the other
person(s) could be holding in his/her hands. He knew the strategy of many plans. Not only games but life.
Checkers, Oh ,it seems simple at my age at that time, the first move can very well give your opponent the game. Problem solvings can begin early in life. If we teach children and help them to understand what he/she really are doing. stratedies of games.
Years later, after marriage, my husband and I begin planning
other board games, Scrbble, Gin Rummy ( cards) Chinese checkers and parchise,etc. The two of us had a lot of fun. He was what I called a"Poor loser" If I win, we had to continued to play until he "Thought" smile, he had won, or maybe he let me win to go to bed.
My children was taught to play board games as well. I then had to turn the tv off for a family night of games, reading.
I see that their children play games. they too have a family game night. I don't think it is as often as it used to be because of homework, After school events and other activities than it was years ago. After school activities
I didn't have, such as plays, unless it derived seasonally from our church. I could have been involved with sports, but my choice. Basketball I was fast on my feet but short, and ashame to be wearing shorts. LOL. I'm thinking they have more to often today than when I grew up as a southern girl. Church, daily new, radio and then tv, school,chores and reading took up my time as a child. Most of what we are and decided to pull into our own life we were taught from our child hood or dropped from our adult life.
I'm sure we are all ages here in AA+ with many back grounds as we grew up and carried over in our families. It would be interest to hear about some of the things your parents taught you that is part of your life and children life styles.
I'm thinking of games,and whatever.
