Board Games

Life can be miserable when you are feeling poorly. N has a really bad cough at the moment and didn't get off to sleep properly until 5.00am, it was made worse by the fact that she had her first wobbly molar tooth which was causing blood in her mouth.

We have been trying to cheer her up with some board games;

 Brainbox cards, these are great - you get 10 seconds to remember facts from a card and the next player asks you one question (determined by the roll of a dice) its quick and easy to play and the games can last as long as you want. They have different topics in different boxes too. (We have animals and history)

Then we played Cluedo - one of N's favourites, mainly because we have the edition with character figures. N beat me 4 games to 2, and I didn't let her win!.....

Call me weird but I think there are some interesting recurring items there, considering the cards were thoroughly shuffled. Maybe I can work that probability in to a maths lesson next week. :)
