Yesterday we started talking about making our own board game. We talked about how board games all have stories, and we brainstormed ideas for what our game could be. Today we were ready to decide. Tamara suggested we could try voting. Wills was excited because he remembered voting with Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Tamara wrote the choices on separate pieces of paper, and the Owls used their name cards to vote.
It turned out that eight Owls wanted to make a cowboy game, which was the most of any of the choices. We did some quantity comparisons between the different ideas, and some children started to get worried, because they could see that there were not many votes for their ideas. It was clear that we had to do some creative thinking. We decided that the choices that had some votes could be part of our game, for instance, the fox from the fox and chickens game could be a character
in the cowboy game! The Owls were delighted with this idea!
