I hope you and your family are safe and sound in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. We were very fortunate not to bear the worst of it in the DC area, and I’m thinking dry thoughts for friends in areas harder hit.
At our house, Sandy meant an epic foosball tournament. In between rounds (or for me, losses), I saw a wonderful trend emerging in my Twitter feed… seems when the lights go out, people get a lot more resourceful – and playful!
Some highlights:
@CuteMonsterDad: No power. Yet we are playing Zingo Sight Words via flashlight.@ThinkFun#sandy#frankenstorm
@trydefyinggrav:#ABA therapy cancelled. Bringing out the@ThinkFun games to get us through#HurricaneSandy. Going with Zingo.#autism#parenting
- @HeatherLiteRock: Power out…zingo by flashlighthttp://instagr.am/p/RYecyUCWYS/
@maRika07: Kept it real#gangsta and played#Zingo http://instagr.am/p/RX8emwujFk/
For one dad in NY, 20+ rounds of Zingo! just about did him in!
@vikramsomaya:@ThinkFun@jhlava Zingo was our sandy kryptonite. 20 games in, perhaps it lost a little luster for the adults amongst us
And finally, a silver lining to all that time spent playing… a dad reports a MAJOR victory!
- @double21d: The streak is over!!! I finally beat my son at Zingo…
Our Facebook friends played their way through Hurricane Sandy too!
Do you play games when the lights go out? Which are your family’s favorites?!
