Sunday Funday: Froggy Boogie

EggEgg requested us to play Froggy Boogie with him all day: 4 rounds with me in the morning, 2 rounds with Tonton in the afternoon. And he wanted some more by night-time. Wow.

EggEgg's very pedantic about the placement of the pieces. The lotus leaves have to be perfectly aligned. Mami has to be the red frog. (Red for female and Blue for male? Where did he get that stereotyping from?)




EggEgg's enthusiastic style of rolling dices tend to send them flying everywhere. Jappy's DIY skills to the rescue! I've made a transparent dice roller from leftover packaging, and EggEgg loves it. And better still, he can't cheat with fudging the dices anymore.

When Daddy & I are able to get to the finishing line, he'd urgently say, "等等!" (Hold on!) Wait for me to cross the finishing line together!

There is even a big incentive for winning the game: M&Ms awaits at the finishing line. No wonder why he's so eager to play this over and over again.

Well at least, he's following the proper rules and making good progress in terms of turn taking, memory, color recognition, counting and pattern matching. The M&Ms are worth it!

He has inherited your love of board games. It is a really good way of teaching rules and taking turns. You're a talented stay-at-home mom!
