There are some clever (and silly) games for kids in this collection. Among the clever is "Story Boardy," a life-size board game you create with toilet paper; creating a miniature golf course in the yard with plates, planks, and notebook folders; guessing when a hidden timer is going to go off; and a game in which a piece of furniture is moved a few inches and the other player must guess which furniture was moved. These game ideas encourage the use of imagination and deduction.
