[blparent] table games.

[Judy Jones]

Hi, this brings back memories.

We had a chutes and ladders game we labeled.  This was back in the 80s, so not sure what was available.  I still have a lot of my board games I had growing up.  My folks, my dad especially, enjoyed all the games, checkers, parches, and a game of strategy and coordination where you have to remove pieces from a board without moving a spring-loaded bar.  I also had battleship and cribbage, and yes, connect four.

For the girls, and our fun, we braille labeled the twister game, spinner and mat.

wow I can't believe that some of these games are still available.  I got the game trouble for Grace my daughter when she was five. 
she knew her numbers just fine and used to tell me which number popped up when pressing the thing that makes the noise the kids love.  also Hungry hungry Hippo.  I got that game for her when she was four and she was so thrilled.  I still have a casette tape I recorded that Christmas and it is so cute hearing her exclaim, oh oh oh!  Hungry hungry Hippo!  Just what I wanted!  Thank you mommy!  I got a big hug and kiss with that thank you.  She is 41 now and it is so cute to hear what her voice sounded like at four. 
She loved connect four, dominos and the card game memory.  I put Braille labels on the back of the memory cards so I knew what each one was.  It is fun thinking of way to adapt games.  I did not know that there was a Snakes and Ladders game I could get.
every dog has its day but the nights belong to the pussy cats.
