Playing Games

At preschool the kids are working on memorizing sight words, specifically the color words.  When they have learned all of them they earn a certificate.  I asked Will about it when he brought the flashcards home and he was very unimpressed by the whole thing.  He said "Yeah, if we learn all the words we get like a little piece of paper or something like that."  I wanted to help motivate him since this was really the first time he had been asked to do any type of reading so while we were at Kid to Kid in State College over the weekend I found a Phineas and Ferb board game for $4.  (It turned out to be the deal of the day because I think it was brand new.)  He was excited about that being his prize for memorizing his words, which he then worked very hard on!  : )

He earned his certificate today so he and I got to play a round together!

During this round Will had to balance Frankenstein's brain on the timer while blindfolded!

Will used my camera to capture me bouncing the brain off the wall
and trying to catch it blindfolded.
(no, thankfully not every task requires the blindfold!)
