My latest obsession are board games and card games. I work with international students from different countries and my latest activity was playing "Speed Scrabble" during a lunch hour. It was so much fun that I was inspired to do more board game or card game themed activities.
The dilemma was the cost of the games. I luckily found the scrabble games that someone was throwing away and freecycled them. I've tossed around the idea of a Chess Tournament or UNO Challenge. New board games can range anywhere from $10 - $20 per game. I decided that I would wait to see if I could borrow, beg, or shop at thrift stores to find games. Another challenge I had was that students have busy lives and short attention spans so I wanted games that could be played in 30-45 minutes.
Then one day my husband brought home MONOPOLY DEAL Card Game. I looked at the box and couldn't believe that the average play time was 15 minutes for 2-6 players. We played and it was easy to learn. It has good mix of strategy and chance. Card games are much more affordable at less than $10 each. I may be borrowing this game to play during a Card Game theme afternoon with the students. MONOPOLY Deal Card Game would go well with UNO Card Game and Skip Bo Card Game.
