[blparent] Playing video games with kids

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

Boxing and bowling are fun. I took out Jesus in a boxing match. Then the power went out. No joke.
Really though, your stepson wants time with you. So figure this out. You probably won't play these games the way a sighted person would, though he probably won't care about that. Ask him to give you some pointers and see what you can learn, pay attention to how your gestures make the game react.

I know you can box and bowl but I'm not sure of any others that you can do.

we play with and the people who help us play that make a great difference in
our lives."
