Spending time with kids

Snake and Ladder Game Board

In the era of smartphones and latest technologies, including tablets and iPad, I thought board games has long been extinct. Like dinosaurs that you only see in movies. But yeah, I have to admit I was wrong.

There was a sudden change on interest with my five-year-old kid. Usually she plays with barbie dolls, little plates and kettles made of plastics or watching Youtube video. But now she's asking Mr. Hubby to play with her. Which is good, in terms of family bonding and being in a real world.

At first I thought it would not click! But hey, they are enjoying including my eldest daughter who also joined the game. They're both laughing when somebody's tower hit the head of the snake. For those who don't know. If you hit a snake head on this board game, you will be taken to the tail of the snake, which usually means you are at the loosing side.

I guess I have to encourage more both my kids to play board games instead of watching videos and watching TV. Board games is still a hit, even though I know it would take more effort on my side of convincing :)

Happy playing everyone.
