If it ends up feeling too "schooly" my girls (especially Grace, my oldest) totally shut down. Unschooling is such a beautiful fit for us and I am so grateful to get to live such an incredible life and have my babes experience this too! <br /><br />We love games and are looking forward to adding more to our cupboard! So many wonderful posts to read and so many wonderful games to discover now! <br /><br />You can check out my post here:<br />http://www.ouronesweetfamily.blogspot.com/2012/03/unschooling-toolsgames.html<br /><br />Have a great weekend!Shelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010097249579515249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255877501892467740.post-73832604879598118422011-12-02T20:54:00.576-05:002011-12-02T20:54:00.576-05:00We don't know Othello or Qwirkle.

I scored a nice vintage one a few months ago, and it blows me away how quickly the boy makes change now! He also just plays with money. A lot! sorting, making amounts with different configurations of coins... <br />He got blockus for his birthday, and we all like it. Rush Hour is another fantastic game.<br />I want Willow and Cosmo to have a chance to play some games together!cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18022650911172987454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255877501892467740.post-23881099000449749572011-11-11T20:16:22.700-05:002011-11-11T20:16:22.700-05:00I just read your article in the most recent Home E...I just read your article in the most recent Home Education Magazine, and I stopped by to say hi! My daughters are voracious readers, so I identified with that from the article.<br /><br />I really like this post. It sounds very much like the way things have evolved into being at our house. I am unable to make any academic requirements on my girls' time or I meet huge power struggles, too. Things go along much more smoothly when I follow their lead and offer choices (which can be rejected). I like the idea of asking your girls to spend some one-on-one time with you each day...I REALLY like that idea!! <br /><br />I'm glad to have found you, and I'll be following along.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17600694619101352923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255877501892467740.post-43666804032680187832011-11-11T16:42:27.184-05:002011-11-11T16:42:27.184-05:00Hmmm.

I don't demand lessons or other particular things, but I <i>do</i> love to play with my babies, and spending time together is a priority. All of us suggest things (and can say "Nay"), and come up with ideas.<br /><br />I love doing it that way!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06646398396834008698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255877501892467740.post-40583339828330586092011-11-11T14:51:37.784-05:002011-11-11T14:51:37.784-05:00We love Blockus and I need to find othello, it was...We love Blockus and I need to find othello, it was a favorite when I was a kid. Around here it is Ponyopoly and an old game of Gramma's called shufflers. I blogged about it today. <br /><br />http://mamaisemmasmama.blogspot.com/2011/11/picking-up-and-playing.html<br /><br />Learning through playing is do fun!
