Back to Basics - Board Games

The children are getting older and more mature. So I decided to expose them to my childhood games such as Monopoly, Snakes and Ladders, Uno, Jenga, Domino etc. They are able to play the games and we try to simplify the rules for them. Snake and Ladder is Reuben's favourite and it is good for him to practise his counting skills. Sometimes, he will bend the rules to advantage himself when he plays with his grandparents :) Such wit he has! But we discourage him, telling him to play fair and follow the rules. On the whole, they are amiable when playing the games. We hope to get them to play board games more often rather than electronic games because they will be able to pick up social skills and values. Most importantly, it's a good time for family bonding :)
