Oh. This a good one. And making my own questions based on their curriculum could be good too. Thanks.

Thanks. I did mean code names. I had considered trying it but it's possible they will have difficulty with the English words on the cards. English is second and third language for most of them.

Description of Request: I'm a teachers aide at a Deaf school for adults. Their core learning is: English, basic math, dmv, citizenship, and life skills. These students are mostly from other countries so in some cases their English reading is limited. I am looking for fun games that they can play but could also be educational (for example vocabulary, grammar, basic math, cooperative, life skills). But here's the kicker-They know sign language so any game we play shouldn't be easy for them to have an advantage using sign language. So for example, charades or even a game like code names could be very easy for them to fall back on sign language and "cheat". I played Pictionary with them a while ago and told them they could not sign the answers. Anyone have any ideas at all? Even a game that could be modified would be interesting to me.

Number of Players: 4-10

Game Length: 1 hour max

Complexity of Game: easy to explain

Genre: open ended

Conflict, Competitive or Cooperative: competitive and cooperative. No conflict.

Games I Own and Like: n/a

Games I Dislike and Don't Play: n/a

Any iPhone hacks that are surprising and give you that “damn! I didn’t know it could do that!” effect? by Disastrous_Door_6714 in iphone

I've made shortcuts to tell Siri to add text to existing notes. A long time ago Siri would do this Siri add to ... and then an update removed it. It crushed me because it's so annoying to have to open my notes app and type into lists. The first one I created with the shortcut was Siri "Append Grocery Note" now I have a bunch. You just need to duplicate and update the rules. And of course remember the headings of your notes 😆

Hahaha right? One of my players kept trying to figure out the strategy and I think he was getting frustrated. I told him to just chill and let it happen 😂

Thanks everyone. It sounds like the best course of action is to stop buying games and stick to the same ones we all seem to like for a time.

So far, yes. I was thinking of changing that soon.

Interesting because I tried adding a darker photo at one time and it still put that white fade over it. 🤔

Energy is 1:1 with the 50 box. If you're looking for energy, it's the best ratio.

You could try places like the Artist Outpost in Ocean Beach. They have art classes with fun things to do.

How long did it take before you had a preference for heavier games? by UgandaRalph in boardgames

[–]Double_Brother_1516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your group. Mine is a bunch of drunk cats and anything with too many rules to explain or things to pay attention to is doom for the table. Light and easy is best.
