30 Day Blog Challenge PROMPT January 13th In your entry today, write about games! Board games, video games, card games, sports games, mind games, etc... Share a memorable story. Games. Well, video games cause me too much stress.... I am talking Pac Man. I used to get so bent as those little creatures tried to get me. I swear my heart rate would go through the roof. Games like Doom gave me nightmares. Jenga is also stressful for me. Pick a piece and don't have anything fall down. Aren't games supposed to be fun and realizing ways to just chill?? I can play Words With Friends through Facebook and a few other games on my phone. As a child, an only child, I used to play Payday by myself. I would play as several people and I would take huge risks trying to get the little families to lose their shirts, but I found the more risks they took the bigger the advances they made. I do remember playing Clue with my babysitters daughter. She was three or four years older than me and always managed to win... though, who knows she could have been cheating. It used to bug me that I would never even come close to winning. I used to play cribbage with my grandmother in Timmins. I played rummy with her as well. I loved that. Card games were not allowed at my other grandparent's place. Apparently my grandfather was very against it for some reason. I've always liked the idea of creating my own board game. I am sure I played with the idea as a kid and as a teacher, I love it when the kids are able to create something that allows them to use their knowledge and work it into some kind of game. Those kind of games are fun.... any kind of learning game in the classroom is always fun. the students get a lot out of it as well. I've always been pretty good at trivia games. My ex used to be amazed at how much 'useless' information I had rattling around in my brain. Watching Jeopardy can be fun as I test my knowledge... and learn new stuff. So when it comes right down to it, I love games. They are fun. Even the stressful ones... because even with Jenga and Pac Man I had to laugh at myself and the friends who were around me at the time. Play on. |
