Over the past few days the kids have had a chance to create their own games with boards and pieces that are set out in the morning time.  They have large interest in games and we want to continue with this to develop it into our first class project.  Mr. Ward & and I were so impressed!  Here are a few pictures and game descriptions from the past few days.

Raki, Selam, and Kayla playing King Gal.

“First all of the pieces go right here.  She is trying to get as many kings as she can.  There are so many levels.  After you get a boss, you get a bosser.  When everyone gets a bosser then you can start taking everyone’s pieces.  When you have a bosser and take everyone’s pieces you win.”

Avelyn and Ruth playing Fruity Jump.

“One person is a fruit or duck.  When someone is next to you they need to jump you, but that’s a good thing because you need to get around and the 1st person to get around is the winner.  If you jump it gives you a extra space.  It’s all about luck.  It’s all about the dice and luck because you have to get the right number.”

Ruth, Oliver, Miles, Andrew, and Jonah playing Animal Tracking.

“You start at you blue, yellow, red, or green dot.  Whatever color you start with you have to go left.  If you get to your arrow and it’s too many numbers you have to go back all the way back to start.  If you land directly on your arrow you win.  If you land on a black dot you get an extra animal which helps you win.  You move by rolling a yellow or red dice.  If you want low numbers you roll the red dice.  If you want higher numbers you roll the yellow dice.”
