Christopher and Catherine discovered our old Monopoly game today, so after dinner tonight we started a game. I'd forgotten how useful a board game can be for teaching various maths skills! The kids both bought every property they landed on, while Garry and I "wisely" focussed on buying certain properties and building lots of houses on them. Sadly, we had to finish the game before anyone landed on our carefully built up streets, so in the end neither strategy achieved very much. We plan to continue the game another night, so we'll see what happens next....
Meanwhile, it's certainly another great way to avoid studying for my exams :)
