That's why I'm getting such a kick out of this book and others! You're welcome, Eric, I'm sure I'd love to "steal" a lot of your teacher ideas too! I was excited to see that Peggy Kaye has also written a book called "Games for Math"! I checked it out at the library...so I'll probably share more later...

I can already tell they will get a kick out of this game!

And what a wonderful way to teach the kids, reading and writing, not to mention, using their imagination. That does sound like a lot of fun.

I'm so thankful for the freedoms that allow me to homeschool. It's not always a walk in the park, so games like the above are very welcome! Thanks, Colleen.

Each person had a piece of paper and a pen or pencil. The leader asked them each to keep secret what they had written. First of all, each person folded his paper into strips. The leader then asked each person to write an adjective on the first space, then to fold what he wrote out of sight and pass it to the next person. No one could look at what the other person had written. Then the leader asked each person to write a noun on the next space, fold it out of sight and hand to the next person. And so on, using parts of speech, prepositional phrases, etc., until all had completed his or her mystery story. The last person to write (and the others too) then opened the folded sheets and read the 'story'. A good exercise when learning parts of speech. And fun too.
