The Games We Play

Last week, during my session with D, my 15 year old student, I did something a little different.  Instead of just making conversation, I pulled out a copy of Fluxx and a set of Rory's Story Cubes.

Fluxx is a game where the rules change based on what the card says, so it encourages reading, as well as conversation because the cards are very silly.  The Story Cubes are a set of 9 dice with different pictures on each side.  You roll them and tell a story based on the images that are showing.  We had enough fun that neither she nor I realized the hour was up!!

I'm thinking this week of watching a little West Wing with her as well as playing Guillotine, another English heavy card game.
