With every Kindergarten class, I do an End of the Year Alphabet Countdown, and for G today, we had Game Day.

I was so happy to see children playing interactive and cooperative games that did not involve technology!

What was everyone‘s favorite childhood game?

Beatlefan129 We had one called “Don‘t Wake Daddy” that had a figure of a Dad in bed and as you went around the board you‘d have to push on his alarm clock and if he woke up, you lost. That was a fun one 5y

#Games takes me right back to playing card games with my Nana. Everytime I spent the night we would play as much as possible while playing my old VHS tapes they bought when I was a baby or have picked up at yard sales/vendors malls. If my cousins were over we'd make a big spectacle and gather round the kitchen table 😁 #LiteraryLuck @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @vkois88

Kshakal @vkois88 thanks!! My family has been through a lot and those things can either tear you apart or bring you close together and in our case it brought us so close!! 5y

It‘s turning into a #janeausten weekend (no complaints)! I ordered this board game forever ago and it finally came in the mail. 😁
Now I need to find some local Austen nerds to play with me (after I‘ve strong armed my nonbookish gaming friends to play with me, of course)
