I am sending home a game called Fabulous 5 Worm! Student and parent will take turns making groups of 5 dots. It is a game of strategy similar to Tic Tac Toe. The winner is the person who has the longest string of their colour. You will need the game card and some counters of different colours. If you only want to play the game once you could use crayons or markers with two different colours. We played the game twice already and I introduced the idea of strategy with them and how to try to block their partner from getting a longer line. I hope you have fun playing together.
