From Bored to Board
CEBU, Philippines - Although getting some sunshine is a fun way to spend your summer, it is best to stay indoors when the heat is unbearable. Don’t let the summer sun stop you from having fun indoors. Here are ways to make most of your time inside the house:
1.Scrabble
A classic board game known to almost everyone, Scrabble is one of the fun ways to make use of your time inside the house, plus the learning. All you need are the letters, your old scrabble board, a pouch and the tile racks and you’re all set. It would also be a big help if you’d prepare a dictionary to avoid disputes on whether such words exist or not. Beat your siblings and be the ultimate word master.
2.Snakes and Ladders
Another famous game in the form of board and dice is Snakes and Ladders. With the goal to reach the 100th square of the board, you need a good dose of luck each time you roll the dice and move that chip. Aim to climb that ladder, surpass your playmates and be the first. Just don’t let that snake bite you!
3.Chinese Checkers
With this game available to be played by up to six players, your siblings and even your cousins and friends can hop in the fun. With the board hexagram in shape, one’s objective is moving his or her pieces to reach “home” (the corner of the star opposite one's starting corner). Be clever and think about that winning strategy.
4.Chess
A game of classic strategy, you can test your skills by playing chess with any of your siblings or cousins. You can also try playing with your mom and dad if they’re interested. From them you can ask tips n how to improve your game play. You never know, you are the world’s next chess prodigy.
5.Monopoly
Named after the economic concept “monopoly” (which means the domination of a market by a single entity), you can play this game to unleash the young tycoon in you. It is best if you play this with your ates and kuyas and even your mom and dad so you can understand other terms better and thus formulate a concrete strategy to win the game.
There you have it, a fun way to spend your time indoors, as well as harness your strategic skills and vocabulary. Enjoy!
