I've done several searches on games, Braille or otherwise that I can play with a 3-year-old, one of those being "braille children's games," and the other being "games to play with a 3-year-old," and when it came to the braille games, of course most of them weren't very age appropriate, and the other search gave me a ton of them, and some of them had so many instructions and the like that I couldn't follow them.
Does anyone here have any recommendations on some that would be rarely easy, and could either be brailled, or just in the longrun would be easy to follow? We have one here called "honey bee tree," or something along those lines, which Hannah loves to play, where you have to pull the leaves off the tree and I think, try not to upset the bees, but it's such a pain in the kneck trying to set it up, and Hannah used to get frustrated with it before we'd even gotten it up and running sense it had a ton of sticks that you had to stick in the holes just right in order to put the bees in the top of the thing.
It's a lot of fun after it gets set up though, and she loves counting the bees after the game is over.
well, that's my suggestion out!
i was going to suggest tumbling monkeys, but that's the same kind of thing.. just in sted of bees, it's all jungle themed
i don't think i know any actual games like braille or board games.. though i do know of a computer game (i used to play this)
actually i know 2
1 of them is a series called learning land... follows a set of animals on their diffrent adventures.. you've got milly, sue, tim, and.. someone else who i can't remember- biff i think he's called
each cd is a diffrent theme.. so you got learning land on the playground, learning land on the farm, birthday party, etc... you play through each of the 4 games (1 game for each of the animals) then put together the peaces of the jigsaw
then you can do the fun station, which is colour in a picture ( a picture themed to what ever the setting is)
the other game is reader rabbit, which is.. their are 4 games in it- pattern parade, ABC cafe, shape shed and counting club- you play through all the games, then you put the keys in the merry go round and watch as you spin round the game world... that is awsome too
what age level would you say something like, barrel of monkeys, would be?
I ended up finding that in a huge bag of toys my dad has that she plays with whenever we go there, and just happened to figure out that was what it was by the shape of the container, and the fact that it had a bonch of little skinny plastic monkeys inside it, so figured that probably was what it must have been.
What would the likelihood be that Hannah would be able to actually play that and not just throw the pieces around and end up losing half of them? Thought about "don't spill the beans," as well, but that sounded a little too complicated for her age level, considering the fact that it seemed to have a ton of instructions.
You can play ring around the rosies.
ball
frisby.
pady cakes
alpha baby on the computer.
There's also a game called "Break The Ice".
It was an old bar game, but kids love it. It's a square with plastic ice cubes in it, and a bear in the middle. The object is to break ice cubes around the bear and leave it so your opponent will break the ice cube that causes the bear to fall through. The daughter loved it at age 4.
Lol, I actually have one of those game Leo, and am keeping it for her birthday party for my little girl and her eventual guests... Looks really neat though.
I actually thought about that one as well, as well as, don't spill the beans, then discarded, don't spill the beans pretty quickly, sense the beans are really small and we would spend more time looking for them than playing the game, and right now, Hannah has this huge habit of making something out of nothing, so of course dropping 1 bean on the flor would be like the world ending.
Thanx for the last suggestion.
