Storytime
Here’s a fun activity I would play with my kids when we traveled. It ties in great with yesterday’s prompt of myth making and storytelling. When playing at home, everyone builds on the story by adding a sentence or idea. I would designate one person as scribe. The scribe writes down the story and reads it back at the end and also plays. For our online version, I’ll start the story and everyone gets to add a sentence. Rules: - One sentence at a time - You can add more than one sentence but they can’t be in a row. - Copy the existing story into a comment and add your sentence. Story ends at 11:59 pm CDT today. I’ll start. Tagging a few to get us started. Thanks @Allan R. for the first sentence. @Daniel Cavaretta @Adam Formanek @Betty Jo Winters @Mayelice Castro @Andrea Quintal Portas @Anna Brown @Janell Bitton @Blue Mojo @Celia Kibler @Charlie Svensson @Aurelie Delahalle @Gus Gray @Max Orlewicz @Lisa Vanderveen @Mukkove Johnson

It was a beautiful spring day and the Kid went out in the yard to play. At this time of day on the street, the front yard was great for children to meet. Mom called out, “Have fun!” The Kid said, “Thanks, Mom!” And proceeded to play. That's when the Kid saw one friend "Fox" flying a kite. The kid ran up to his friend, Fox, and asked, "Can I try to fly your kite?" "Sure!" Fox said with delight. The leaves swirled through the gardens on the street, mirroring the excitement that was swirling through the Kid's mind! Wind got stronger and the Kid tugged a little too hard, and whoosh —the kite zoomed, dipped, and bonked Mr. Jack’ hat right off his head! The kite continued its adventure and before the Kid could reach it, the kite was heading toward a bird.
Thank You

apologizing to your kid
im curious, i think this is a powerful way to be real with your kids. show them how to be a good humans by apologizing when you get it wrong. Do you think this is a problem? why or why not?

@Mary Nunaley Which one? 😅 Egypt was great! And I just got back from Germany yesterday. 😀 Had to turnaround after Egypt and head back out to deal with our Visa.
Game Night
I’m trying something new. We are hosting our first online game night with the Game Master himself, our very own @Adam Formanek. You may not know that Adam has run his own local version of the game survivor for several years. This Thursday, he will be sharing some games that can easily be recreated at home for your kids, your friends, maybe even for work. The event takes place from 7-8 pm CDT and you’ll find the Zoom link in the calendar. I hope you’ll join us. Questions? Drop them in the comments and Adam or I will do our best to answer. PS. Test your powers of observation. Can you spot the glitch in the picture? Don’t say anything til Thursday.

Will you have a reply? It’s a little late for me here in Prague - but I’d love to see it.

Oh! And I found the glitch. 😀
New & Improved Game Night Playbook
Okay, it took some time but I didn’t forget! Thanks to @Lisa Vanderveen for the nudge. I’ve expanded the Game Night Playbook to include ideas for ages 12-14 and 15-17. I’ve also added more theory for those of you who like to know the “why” behind the “what.” My request, take a look at the playbook, it’s in the classroom. Let me know: 1. Does it make sense? 2. Would you be interested in playbooks (either an app or PDF download with material lists and instructions for the games. For open-ended games, I’d include at least one game per category. 3. Is this something you could use? 4. Does it help to include a prompt to answer? Visit the classroom here: https://www.skool.com/connectthruplay/classroom/90acee67
