take it easy


is an older game, we played it before we had kids and have not played it for a long time. just this week it has come into favor some how, by most of us. it's a nice mix of strategy and still lots of luck mixed in in order for the younger ones in the family to take part in the game without feeling to be at a loss.
and even if you lose, we all take it to heart "take it easy", it's just a game. on the other hand, it's not just a game, it's lots of math each of us does, when we add up the complete rows. first a whole lot of multiplication and then adding those results up to the total. i'm glad the kids discovered this one again, especially now as we are on winter brake and no one really want's to do worksheets. and yes i don't blame them for it.
thinking back to our home school days in JP.... o we often miss them, being with friends, learning so much together with other families, being it music, book club, geography club, and of course the monthly math game morning! this brings it back and i'm glad to have this memory
