Jun. 23, 2008 - What do YOU know about Minnesota? New GAME!

Test your knowledge of your home state in a fun and educational way with Spotlight on Minnesota, a Bingo-type game that is meant for multiple ages and players. It's created by a Minnesota homeschool mom, for homeschoolers and others. After playing a few rounds, I realized how much I didn't know, and afterwards had a better appreciation for our great state.

Check out the game at the website Spotlight Games, and get your own copy. It would be a great game to play at home, or take it to co-op for a Mn history class.

Here are some details:

For ages 8-80, 2-15 players! Each game includes 15 different bingo-style game boards (individuals, small groups and teams can play) and over 100 information-packed questions color-coded to three levels of knowledge. Each Question Card not only asks a question, but features an interesting fact about the people and places in Minnesota.

Once players answer enough questions correctly to mark 5 squares in-a-row on their board, they win! The unique rules also detail three different styles of play depending on how competitive the players want to be. Three levels of questions with three styles of play always keep the game fresh and interesting

Apr. 25, 2008 - Moving time

I am afraid it's time to move my blog. Although I love the "neighborhood" here and the community of homeschoolers, I want a more user-friendly, adjustable blog. Come visit me over at http://loonloop.blogspot.com/

See you there, leave comments for me!
