Game Night/ Would You Rather...?

The first week of May, I found the game WOULD YOU RATHER at Deseret Industries (for those of you who are unfamiliar with Deseret Industries, it's a thrift store similar to Goodwill). The game was clearance priced at Target for $7.48, but I picked it up, still wrapped in plastic, for $2.00.

This weekend, my son, daughter-in-law, and I opened the game and played. It was so much fun!


The object of the game is to stimulate entertaining, ridiculous, and thought provoking conversation with "would you rather" questions as the ice breakers. For example, "Would you rather age only from the neck up OR from the neck down?" and "Would you rather, as a man, have your grandmother's first name OR her haircut?" As fun as this was, we thought the BEST part of the game was the challenge cards.


When someone lands on a challenge space on the board, they must pull a challenge card and perform one of the Do It challenges. 


Chase (my son) had to let Talitha (his wife) draw  glasses on his face with lipstick and stay that way for the remainder of the game. 


This is Asher wondering what in the world his mom is doing to his dad.  :)

Here he is again with a look of astonishment. 


Talitha had to perform a 30 second dance solo with only her own humming as music. Be sure to turn up your volume. ;)




One of the things I had to do was lap up water from a bowl like a cat. Talitha videoed  it on her phone and we are trying to figure out how to get it uploaded to the blog.

I can hardly wait to get all of my kids together, so we can play WOULD YOU RATHER as a large group. Oh, the memories we will make!!

BINGO Should be Fun, Right?

Tuesday is BINGO day at Cody's Day Program. It has been for years and for years, Cody has played with the same BINGO card.

Yesterday, while meeting with the program's coordinator concerning Cody's behavior, we realized that he is getting upset on Tuesdays because they switched his BINGO card. A very well meaning employee worked hard at making new cards in braille so Cody won't always have to play with the same one. The problem is, and I'll bet those of you with ASD children have already guessed, Cody has been playing with that same card for a long time. He is use to it. He wants to play with it and he wants it back.

Because I'm worried about the employees finding Cody's original card and think somebody may need to make him a new one, I asked Cody to give me the numbers. This is what he said:

B- 13, 3, 11, 10, 6

I- 25, 22, 19, 29, 16

N- 34, 37, free, 39, 42

G- 56, 50, 46, 58, 51

O- 61, 72, 65, 69, 71

Let's hope, for the sake of everyone's sanity, Cody's BINGO card is found before Tuesday rolls around again.
