Today it was time for a first game of checkers.
I asked him if he had ever played before. He said ' Hmmm...I've played door checkers'.
I thought that it must have been some game at school or somewhere, so I asked him if he knew how to set up the board and what the rules were.
He needed some direction in learning where the pieces belong and which ways to move, but soon enough we were having a great time.
Here we are with the board set up and Monkey making his first move:
After he did so well I did have to ask for some clarification.
It wasn't door checkers, but 'Dora checkers'. Dora vs Swiper.
Oh, and he was sure to add :'I play Dora checkers against Justin. He's the best player in the class. I beat him.'
Hmmmm.
Looks like I'll need to get practicing.
