[blparent] Playing video games with kids

[Miranda B.]

Hi,
I played baseball once, and I hit a homerun to beat my husband. LOL That was
pretty fun. :)
Yes, I did have sighted help to know what was going on on the screen, but my
friend didn't move the controller at all.
Hth, and have a great week!

In Christ, Miranda

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.

them feel the joy that's to be found in the creative spirit. It's the things
we play with and the people who help us play that make a great difference in
our lives."
