Hi Ann,
These games you told us about sound neat! I'm planning on checking them out.

Thanks a bunch.

Here is a website that has many games accessible in both large print and
braille: www.maxiaids.com Here are a few favorites: banana grams with
braille added to the tiles, crocodile dentist game for younger kids, Yahtzee
card game. They offer many large print games. Before you order any games for
Bell Academy, see if you can find out what they already have. What state are
you in? Ann from Oregon
