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

[Brandy W]

Hi, You can very easily adapt Wiz Kids, A-Z jr from Discovery toys. There is
another new game called tacticco Not sure of the spelling and I'm not near a
list right now, but all 3  games are fun for 9 year olds and games my
friends and I as adults still enjoy. You can check them out with others that
aren't hard to adapt at www.playtoachieve.com

Thanks all for the suggestions.  We do have Monopoly and Scrabble already.
He doesn't really like Scrabble yet but Monopoly is a favorite.

I keep hearing from everyone that most board games are easy to label.  Can
you all give suggestions for which ones specifically are easy to Braille? 
My boyfriend and I looked around the game section at Walmart the other day
but weren't sure which ones would be Braillable.  I thought of Clue, but I'm
not sure how to Braille it.  The same is true for Careers, Pay Day,
Scattergories, Guess Who, etc.  I'd love some recommendations or labeling
success sstories.

I'll look for the Backgammon and Bop-it games that others suggested.  I like
those ideas.  I'll start browsing the suggested websites too.

Thanks everyone and keep the suggestions coming if you can.
