Games Room Website Activity Section Games Room Website Activity Section Room Overview: In the games room we encourage and help children collaborate with accountability and respect through a variety of games and activities. We offer games like air hockey, foosball, and ping pong as well as activities like Legos, blocks, and Wii all to teach children how to ask one another to take turns in the hopes of setting up a foundation of a skill set to help children work well with others in their future. The games room in a single sentence is a place where the children control their own fun with their imagination and the recourses we provide. Week 1 Activities: 1. Memory (Concentration) a. Deal out all the cards face down on the table. b. Players take turns to flip over 2 cards. If they flip over a pair that matches, they win the pair and get to have another go. If not, the next player takes a turn. c. If you are playing with a standard set of cards, you can either allow matching the same number and same color card or just the same value. d. At the end, the player with the most cards wins. 2. DIY Flight School a. Get a large piece of paper and cut out various sized holes. b. Attach a number value to each hole (I recommend to follow an increasing point value from the largest to the smallest hole) your target is now ready. c. Fold your paper airplanes. d. Decorate the target and planes however you desire. e. Have fun! 3. Build pillow fort. 4. Play hide and seek with your family. 5. Ping Pong trick shots a. Search Ping Pong trick shots on YouTube (my favorite video is any Dude Perfect one) for inspiration. 6. Make a fun healthy snack like ants on a log. a. All you need is celery raisins and peanut butter Week 2 Activities: 1. Go Fish a. Shuffle the cards and deal them out to the players. For 2 players, deal each player 7 cards; for 3 players, deal 6 cards; and for 4 players, deal 5 cards. Place the remaining cards randomly in the middle of the table. b. Each player looks at their cards secretly. c. The first player to take a turn chooses another player and asks them if they have any cards of a certain value. They must have a card of the number they ask about in their hand. For example, they must have one or more Kings to ask for a King. d. If the player who is asked has any cards of the value requested, they must hand them over. The player who asked for the cards can then take another turn and ask for another card. e. If the player who is asked has no cards of the requested value, they must tell the player to 'Go fish.' The player must then take a card from the center. f. At any point, if a player collects a set of 4 of the same kind, they win the cards and put them aside in their winner's pile. g. Play continues until all sets of 4 cards have been collected. The winner is the player with the most sets of 4 cards at the end. 2. DIY Skee Ball a. Materials: Empty laundry baskets, cardboard box, paper, as many tennis balls as you can find (to reduce reload times), tape b. Build a ramp from the cardboard box c. Write different point values on various pieces of paper and attach to the laundry baskets d. Set a line to roll from with your tape e. Have fun! 3. Learn how to juggle (YouTube is a great recource) 4. Make an obstacle course around the house inside or out. 5. Create a time capsule to remember the time we had no school for an entire month. 6. Have a family movie night with a bug blanket and lots of popcorn! Week 3 Activities: 1. Crazy Eights a. In a two-player game, each player is dealt seven cards. In a game with three or four players, each player is dealt five cards. b. The rest of the deck goes facedown in a pile, with the top card turned up beside it. This is the discard pile. c. The player to the left of the dealer discards a card from his hand that matches either the number or suit of the top card in the discard pile. For example, if the card is a five of hearts, he could play any heart or any five. If he does not have a matching card, he continues picking up cards from the deck until he gets one that is playable. d. Eights are wild and can be put down on any suit. For example, an eight could be played to match a heart. e. The next player must match their card to the number or suit that the eight was meant to cover. f. Play continues with players matching the card at the top of the discard pile. The first player to use up all his cards wins. If the deck runs out before the game is over, the discard pile can be used. 2. DIY Paratrooper a. Find a small figure like a Lego man/woman b. Cut a large square out of a plastic bag and punch holes on the corners c. Get two pieces of string and tie knots in the holes in the bag and hook the loops under the figure’s arms d. Let em fly! 3. Create a cardboard box house. 4. Go practice your favorite sport outside. 5. Challenge your family to thumb wrestles. 6. Help your family make lunch or dinner. Week 4 Activities: 1. Mission Impossible maze a. Using streamers, string, or toilet paper if you can spare a roll create a web in a hallway that your kids will have to crawl through without tripping a motion sensor. 2. Create a stained-glass window a. Tape a sheet of clear plastic to a window in your house b. Cut out an assortment of colored paper c. Let your kid paste or tape them to the sheet 3. Build a bridge out of Legos or blocks and see how much it can hold. 4. Wait till it’s almost dark out and play flashlight tag in your yard. 5. Have a good old-fashioned pillow fight (just no tempur-pedic pillows) 6. Lego marble maze a. You’ll need a Lego platform a few dozen Lego bricks and a marble b. Bild your own maze and time how long it takes you to navigate your way through only tilting the platform. .

    • • SPOONEYE! First dpcumented as "Thirt y-Fours" in a 1571 British list of injunctions, the modern form of the game developed aboard pirate ships sailing in rhe Caribbean in the late 17th centuty. The game's most nOlOrious enthusiast was none other than the rllthless pirate Spooneye, who had a spoon in the place of a lost hand due to a fo ndness for soups, :iIld who, owing to ext reme myopia in one eye (the right, it is believed), would often cover the bad eye with his spoon-hand in order to focus. During the infamous double mutiny fad of the 1690s, (itself immortalized in the gaIlle, as weI! as numernus ballads,) Spooneye learned of Thirty­ Fours from the crew fo rmerly belonging to his mortal enemy, the nefarious Danish privateer Weirdbeard. Legend has it that the most powerful card in the game, the Nine, or 'Spooneye', originated when Spooneye was engaged in a �ame with his ship's new cook (name unknown). Fnlstrated at his own poor performance, Spoon eye played a Nine-his favorite card, due to the rcsemulance-and then grabbed one of the cook's cards and placed it on his side of the table. Justifiably angty, the cook argued that rhis was not part of the rules: in rhe origi nal Thirty-fours, Nines grant no special privilege. Spooneye, in response, leaped out of his chair and gouged out the unfortunate cook's left eye with his mighty spoon-hand. Most accounts suggesr thar the cook was keelhauled after the game; some (possibly apoctyphal) accounts suggest that it was this cook who later became the despised buccaneer Disheye.

  • Kid Friendly Card Games Beyond Go Fish
    Kid Friendly Card Games Beyond Go Fish SPOONS: you need a standard deck of cards with no Jokers, spoons-one fewer than there are players, good for any number of players. Objective: The winner is the last player remaining. How to Play: Arrange the spoons in a small circle in the center of the table and deal four cards to each player. Each player tries to make four of a kind. The dealer takes a card off the top of the deck to have five cards in his hand, removes one and passes it facedown to the left. Each player discards to the person on his left. The last player places his discard into a trash pile. Cards are picked up and passed quickly around the table until someone gets four of a kind and takes a spoon from the center. Once the player with four of a kind takes a spoon, anyone can take a spoon. The player left without a spoon is out. If at any time the draw cards run out, pause to reshuffle the trash pile and keep going. Remove one spoon at the start of each hand so that there is always 1 fewer spoons than players. The fun part: The player who reaches four of a kind first has a variety of ways he can take the first spoon. A sneaky pull exposes those paying too close attention to their cards. A demonstrative grab leads to a wild free-for-all. Either way, it's hilarious. SNAP: use a standard deck of cards. Objective: Be the last player with cards to win.

  • Zachary Kuchar Cardgames.Org 5-08-19
    Zachary Kuchar CardGames.org 5-08-19 https://cardgames-seniorproject.herokuapp.com/ https://github.com/kucharze/Cardgames-node For my senior project, I extended a previous assignment from my Web Systems class, which was a Crazy Eights card game. There were three different alterations of the assignment. One version played the game through alerts in the web page. The second played with actual card graphics against a computer. As you clicked on a card you wanted to play, and you could click on the deck of cards to draw a card. The third version was played in the same way, but two different people connected to a server to play against each other. My project involved taking this game with some others and adding them to a website. This project included War, Go Fish, Snip Snap Snorum, Matching Cards, War, Blackjack, Spider Solitare, and Crazy Eights. These games have updated graphics and animations built into the gameplay. The website featured a login system. This allowed users to create a user ID and password, to record their scores and access the leaderboard. When a player wins a game, their username, along with their score was uploaded to a leaderboard database. When users were logged in, they could view their scores and the scores of the other players. Aesthetics and Functionality Figure 1: Project look Using HTML and JavaScript, the website would be original. Tabs would provide access to each game, as well as a login screen, and a leaderboard. This setup allows users to maneuver from game to game easily. Starting with Crazy Eights, I created the style for each card and then their layout.

  • Games and Activities of Early Settlement Children
    GAMES AND ACTIVITIES OF EARLY SETTLEMENT CHILDREN There were several games played by pioneer children that are still played today in homes, schools, and on the playground. Hide-and-Seek, baseball, jump rope, tag, and string games are just a few. Word games were played both at home and at school, because these games helped the children to learn language skills. Games involving guessing were also popular, because these games were good brain exercises and helped students develop their thinking skills. OUTDOOR GAMES Recess was a time where several group games were played. Boys and girls sometimes played games together at recess. The game of Fox and Geese was played in the snow where the students cleared paths in the snow in the shape of a spoked wheel. They then chose one person to be the fox. The fox tried to tag the rest of the players, who were the geese. All the players had to stay within the paths of the wheel. Whoever was tagged by the fox then became the fox and had to chase the geese. An alternative to playing in the snow is to mark four squares on the playground 10 feet across each square. Every player stands on one of the lines forming the square. A signal is given and the person who is “it” has 10 seconds to touch as many players as he/she can. Players who are tagged sit down in the marked area. All players must stay on the line while being chased. Shadow Tag was a game played on bright, sunny days.
