[blparent] Gift Suggestions for a 9-year-old?

[Peggy Shald]

It's hard when they get a little older because what they want to play and 
what's out there that's accessable aren't the same.  They do make braille 
monopoloy ... which my ten year old loves to play.  There's also braille 
scrable.  You'd have to do a google search to find out where to get them, I 
haven't bought them for a long time ... and they are kind of expensive.  My 
son still likes uno, which is easy to braille.  I'll try to think of some 
more suggestions and let you know.

Hi Everyone,

My name's Allison and I was on this list six months or so ago.  I took a 
break because I've been incredibly busy.  But I missed the great advice and 
suggestions I got from everyone so I re-subscribed.

Anyway, onto the main point of my post.  My stepson, Nathaniel, turns 9 at 
the end of this month.  He's sighted and I'm blind.  I'm searching out fun 
and accessible gifts for him.  We have a couple of tactile games already, 
like Uno and Connect 4, but he's getting kinda too old for those.  They're 
not as exciting for him as they once were.  I've gotten him a couple gifts 
already, but I'm looking for more suggestions.  Especially in terms of games 
that we can play together.  I'm looking for board, card, or computer games. 
He likes any of those.  I really don't know of a lot of games that someone 
blind and someone sighted can play together.  I'd appreciate suggestions 
from you guys.

Thanks,
Allison
