Yesterday's story game reminded me of a new game out called Kloo, where you pull out cards and have to make sentences from them.

I need inspiration like that to keep me going on this more difficult 8 year-old plus time of life.  Games, puzzles and books to keep them laughing and interested.  Instead of obstinate and silent.  I think I ought to invent a few, namely:

KLOO - but for creating funny stories

MAD LIBS - where you supply a word in the language instead of a particular part of speech.

BINGO with kids' funny toilet-humor items (in the language).

Word jigsaw puzzles, where you have to put together the pieces of a story (with both words and pictures).

Knock knock jokes about French words.

Any of these out there?  That would make my day!
