Makes My Monday: Guess Who?

This weekend, we literally spent hours playing Milton Bradley's "Guess Who?" Since it's a two-person game, the kids learned to make the declaration, "I play winner." They learned how to ask skillfully strategic questions to expedite the game's progress in their favor. They learned the television can be off an entire day and they might not even notice.

The discovery of a too-long closeted board game, the overheard giggles, the above grin on the mischievious boy's face when I was playing a round with his sister all Make My Monday.

What bright spot brings you joy as this week begins? Do tell!

I loved that game when I was a kid. My friend acrually has an "adult" version where the questions are judgemental like "are you white trash?" or "are you a nerd?" What a classic!

I so remember playing this game with my younger cousins years ago, it was fun then! Glad it is still so much fun, can't wait for the boys to be old enough to play games like those!

I used to play that with my sister all the time! Loved it! We've been trying to teach my students at school, but its tough for them to get the concept...we'll keep trying though!

Happy Monday!
