Happy August, ScribbleFriends!

Are you bored? Then hop aboard our Boardfest! My friends and I have spiced things up this week with a special board game festival. We’ve been taking turns picking our favorite game to play each afternoon for the last week. What a blast! I got to pick first and chose The Game of Life. When we play, our house rule is that you have to tell everyone who you marry and come up with names for your kids. Oh, did we laugh! That’s the best part of the game!

ScribbleKitty picked Sorry. I don’t want to say she’s catty, but boy, is she good at that game. Me? Not so much. It’s fun, I guess. But I feel bad when I have to knock players off the board. I suppose it’s nice that you’re supposed to say “sorry.”

We’ve also played Chutes and Ladders with my little sister, Uno (ScribblePiggy has the official White Sox World Champion version) and Candy Land (ScribbleBunny’s rules are that we use real candy for the game pieces – whoever wins gets to eat the candy! Yum!). Who has time to be bored?

Today we’re going to make our own board game. Yesterday, we shared ideas and mapped it all out on paper. My dad got us some cardboard to make the game board out of. We cut up paper for game cards and we’re going to use little toys for the game pieces. I can’t wait to get started!

What’s your favorite game? If you made your own board game, what would it be like?

Your pal,
