Lunch Game and Mn Science

No, we don't play games all day.  I am just realizing that games and puzzles are important and can teach things.  For instance, in the game of Sorry, 7 can be split between two game pieces.  So, we reviewed the addition sentences for 7. 

We played during lunch because Mn was occupied and L had an additional reason to stick to the game (she had to be at the table for lunch anyways).  L appeared to be winning midway through the game, but as the game progressed, the rest of us did some catching up.  L, with some firm coaching (No, you may not quit now!), persevered to the end and did win the game.  

When Mn was done eating, I gave him some magnets to play with.  They stuck to his chair and the cover of the game container and so he continued to test to see if they stuck other places.  He tried his eye (closed) and his forehead.  Nope, they didn't stick there, oh, well, back to the chair.
