Fun Games to Play

When it's a rainy day it's always nice to have some fun indoor games to play. Some of the ones I like to play with family and friends include:

1. Blokus: A tetris like board game that involves strategy and defensive skills. 2-4 players
2. Monopoly: This real estate game can be fun or not so fun depending on how competitive you are feeling.
3. Uno: Uno can be a short game or a couple of hours long depending on if you include different variations. This game is great for a big group.
4. Ticket to Ride: Build trains and try to complete strategy cards before your components. This is a fun strategy game.
5. Scrabble: Scrabble involves building words in a crossword type fashion. It helps to develop those critical thinking skills.
6. Rummikiub: It's like Rummy with tiles. I used to play this game with my grandmother on late summer evenings.
7. Classic Card Games: There's also classic card games that are always fun to play like Go Fish, Scum, Kanasta, Rummy.

Board/card games can enhance thinking skills or keep them sharp, help improve your memory, help with social development. Learn more here.

Waiting for a Sequel

I dislike waiting for sequels of books. I feel like it's a massive publishing company scheme. I have a couple of series that I've started, but I am waiting for the next book to come out in the fall. When of the series is the sequel to "I am Number Four." The book was quite good. It's about a young adult that's an alien try to pretend to be human to avoid being killed by an enemy race. The movie was disturbingly a little different than the book (and the book was even better). I can't wait for the next one to come out. My friend recommended the book to me. What books would you recommend to read over the summer?
