Numbers And Sentences

My Two Dollar Flea Market Finds

When one of my nephews asked

for Racko last Christmas...

we were surprised to find

that it was no longer

available.

So this little classic caught my eye

while browsing the Market.

Racko is a fun choice

for family game night.

Mainly,

It's fast-paced...

quick to learn...

and doesn't require hours to play.

This one in particular

is considered an

antique.

It is also our first purchase

for Christmas gift giving.

(we had to take it out for a test drive

to make sure it was in working

condition!)

Happy to report...

it was!

Check-out that Racko win!

Mom shows 'em how it's done...

again!

When I found this...

I was really intrigued.

Scrabble is our family's favorite.

I have never seen this game before.

Don't you just love the

insert picture of a young couple,

dressed so fine,

to play a game of Sentence Scrabble?

Another Classic...

this one is more of the vintage variety.

It comes with 20...

(oops, it was supposed to have 21)

worded dice...

that you shake and toss

and create sentences before the sands

of time run out.

This reminds me of

Banana-grams with words.

It sounds easy...but when the sand

drains down...

you feel the pressure.

Scoring is based off length

of sentences...

so you find yourself making

some quirky

combinations.

First to 500 (or agreed upon total)

wins.

I wonder who won this one as well?

Hmmm...

Squeezing in some Math and English...

sprinkling in a little Grammar and

Creative Writing.

Not a bad way to start our

Homeschool Day!
