Playing Parcheesi









The girls and I had game night together (we invited Daddy, but he wasn't interested). We played Parcheesi and drank hot chocolate. Morgan was the first one to get one of her pawns (she chose the elephant) to home. After Morgan got her one elephant home, she decided to let her other elephants go visit him at home (and, she continued to have them talk back and forth and play with each other...) She was so done with the game. She ran off to play dolls, and Jaden & I continued the game. Of course, Jaden won... She got all 4 tigers home before I could get my oxen home.

The good thing about games like this is that not only are they fun, but they can be a learning experience. Both Morgan & Jaden got a lot of practice counting and taking turns!!
