@Adam Formanek has inspired me to create more simple and fun games you can play by yourself or with the kids in your life. Today, I was inspired by the old Highlights for Children magazine I grew up reading. One of my favorite pages was the “Spot the difference” page. With the help of AI I’ve created my first one for you. If you’d like the prompt I used so you can create your own, let me know. Can you find the differences between the left and right side? Answers revealed Tuesday to give everyone time to play.

Let’s extend a warm welcome to @Amy Grantham @Heather Wilson @Sandie Slowey and @Nakita Fele Please introduce yourself. We are happy to have you here. Some quick tips. General Discussion is primarily “education” and general info. Play Prompts and Games are activities for you and your family or the kids in your life. Free4All is your area, share tips, ask for help, anything you choose. More shortly.

Today is Saturday and that means we have fun and share about ourselves. What was your favorite book or books as a child? Were you drawn to a specific genre or author? What about now as an adult? Do you find yourself still drawn to similar book genres or have you left those childhood stories behind. I loved mysteries, of course, it might be due to that was all my grandma kept at her house. I started with the Bobbsey Twins, then Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys (I preferred them), and graduated to Ellery Queens Minute Mysteries. At home, we had lots of magazines and trips to the library. Your turn.

Let’s extend a warm welcome to our newest community members @Wendy Lee-Chu and @Charlie Svensson You joined at a great time. Take a few minutes to explore. You’ll find play ideas under Play Ideas and Prompts or Games. The Free4All is your place to ask questions, share tips, ideas, and favorite games. Happy to have you here.

When we look at a "house," we are looking at a history of adaptation. People didn't just build homes to look pretty; they built them to survive the specific pressures of their environment the heat of the desert, the wind of the plains, or the floods of the river. Apartments and high rise living were designed for ever growing populations. What other adaptations can you identify? Whether it’s a stilt house in Southeast Asia or a thick-walled adobe home in the Southwest US, architecture is the ultimate proof of human ingenuity. It teaches an important lesson: The "best" way to live depends entirely on your context. We are often told there is only one "right" way to build a successful life. But architecture shows us that humans have always designed their lives to work in harmony with the world around them. Today, we’re looking at the "History of Home" to see how we can adapt our own lives to feel less heavy. What do you think? What does your perfect home look like?
