[blindkid] blindkid Digest, Vol 159, Issue 1

[Aburgess333]

Here is a website that has many games accessible in both large print and braille: www.maxiaids.com 
Here are a few favorites: banana grams with braille added to the tiles, crocodile dentist game for younger kids, Yahtzee card game. They offer many large print games. Before you order any games for Bell Academy, see if you can find out what they already have. What state are you in? Ann from Oregon

> I?m a young adult child who is blind; I am actually low vision. 
> My parents are sighted. I am sure your blind kids play as all kids do. I will be working with sighted and possibly blind kids this summer at a day camp. I might work with blind kids if I volunteer with Bell.

> So I came to you all for some ideas. 
> What games do your kids like? Are most card games available in braille format? I know about standard cards and Uno cards. I think I got my last card deck at ILA.
> 
> Can I get a Go Fish deck in braille? What about Apples to apples?
> Also there are some board games that I think are popular with kids generally, but I?m not sure if they have been adapted for blind kids or blind adults like me to play with sighted people.

> These are the games:
> 
>  a.. Clue 
>  b.. Candy land 
>  c.. snakes and ladders

> Also is there a wheel of fortune game or Jeporardy game on the market?
