[blindkid] games and games

[Debbie Killian]

Hi Ashley,
There are many games in braille. Maxi aid is a great place to find some, but there is also some from the braille superstore, blind mice mega mall and Vision forward association. 
 There are the card games you said plus rook, old maid, go fish and more I'm sure. There is snakes and ladders from the braille superstore. I have one of those and it is  nice. There is also tic tac toe, checkers, chess,  bingo, and scrabble.  some of those  might not be on the right level you are looking for. You can also adapt regular games you buy in the stores. You might need some help doing that, but its fun to do.
I hope this helps you some. Have fun and enjoy your time with the children! If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at

Hi all,

I hope everyone enjoys convention. I’m not going but I will hear it online.
I’m a young adult child who is blind; I am actually low vision. 
My parents are sighted. I am sure your blind kids play as all kids do. I will be working with sighted and possibly blind kids this summer at a day camp. I might work with blind kids if I volunteer with Bell.


So I came to you all for some ideas. 
What games do your kids like? Are most card games available in braille format? I know about standard cards and Uno cards. I think I got my last card deck at ILA.

Can I get a Go Fish deck in braille? What about Apples to apples?
Also there are some board games that I think are popular with kids generally, but I’m not sure if they have been adapted for blind kids or blind adults like me to play with sighted people.

These are the games:

  a.. Clue 
  b.. Candy land 
  c.. snakes and ladders

Also is there a wheel of fortune game or Jeporardy game on the market?

Thanks.

Ashley
