Right at this moment my 13 year old is playing chess with his younger sister, she will be 8 yrs old next week. When my oldest son was in first grade, his favorite games was stratego & risk even tho according to the game box he was to young to play. Do you play so-called "baby/kid" games with your children or do you teach them to play games you like that were made for older players?
What bothers me is the age limit being from "5-95". I mean, shit, there's gotta be some old lady out there that was deeply hurt by that.
i prefer candyland myself. lol.... i know, lace. that's freakin hilarious. i have thought that before too.
My mom threw out hungry hungry hippos when I was 11. I haven't been able to look her in the eyes since.
hungry hippos was the best game ever. it was perfect for my family..... there were 4 of us boys for the longest time, then my youngest brother came along quite a bit after...... but for 4 of us around the same age, it was the perfect game. I think my mom sold it at a garage sale or something...... it was probably beaten all to hell, but I always missed that game
I knew how to play chess when i was 6 or 7. cant say i was the best player, since my only opponents were the other kids in my daycare. I never really did like candyland or chutes n ladders. I liked puzzles and monopoly and checkers/chess and uno and HHH and shit like that
I never went to daycare. although, my house did feel like a daycare.... my mom babysitted a bunch of kids when we were all growin up....
my mom baby sit twenty to thirty kids a day... but i didnt mind because there were always kids to play with. it was fun back then too... huge yard, pool, teether ball, huge garden, laying out on the drive way, riding bikes.... plus i always got my way over the other kids and i made them get outta "my" pool if i didnt like them. i was bossy. still am sometimes.
candy land used to make me really mad. like when i would get sent down to some of those scary whatevers on the bottom. i had a lot of crumpled up cards. like that old maid game. the old maid was all crumpled up cause i threw a fit when i was like five and had the maid in my hand. haha.
My grandson (on red inner tube is 6 yrs old) my grand-daughter (1-piece suit with arm up is 5) The girl in the middle is my youngest daughter....she will be 8 next week. I have a grandson due in Sept 2005. There are a couple more pics of them in my gallery. With just my own kids & grandkids....I feel like I live in a daycare.
Thats awesome, congrats on your new grandson! I Think thats so cool your grandkids have an aunt around their age when I was in 1st grade my first nephew was born, its cool cause he's 14 and I'm 21 we're not that far apart in age so we have a lot in common, movies, music stuff like that, anyway it seems I can relate to him better then alot of the older adults in the family sense it wasn't that long ago I was 14.
HAHA lodui I feel for ya man, My mom threw out our perfectly good 'Trouble' game because me and my sisters would fight over whose turn it was and because of the annoying poping noise it made every turn! lol
I remember playing "trouble" with my mother...she also liked parcheesi, scrabble, & yahtzee alot. Usually I get "uno" & "skip bo" for my 16 yr olds christmas stocking.
A few weeks ago I bought trouble, sorry, and operation. Good drunk games to play. I love candyland and hungry-hippos though.
