An Old Fashioned Game.

Home*School*Home
It was so hot today that we took a break from building the miniature log cabin. We haven't gotten very far on it, but we are planning a couple of good work days next week. Today, instead, we consulted the KONOS book and for our afternoon unit study time, we played a game from the 1800s called Cupid's Coming. One child says "Cupid's Coming." and the other child says "How?" and the first child has to answer back with a word that ends in i-n-g and starts with a certain letter. For example, for T, we said tilting, twisting, tickling, tiptoeing etc. I didn't know if the kids would like it, honestly, and we were planning on playing a couple of other games from that time period too, but they had so much fun with this one that we played it for a long time, laughing a lot, especially when my youngest son said "I don't know!" and fell down laughing.
