OOC: Thank you everyone for being patient with me!!!! I am proud to announce that my hubby and I welcomed a heathly baby boy, Wyatt Lance Ferris, 7 lbs 9 oz and 20.5 inches long on Thursday, Sept 22 at 3:20 pm CST....he is just absolutely perfect and a gift from above.

Now I'll try to come to a close with the lesson soon. Sorry that the lesson won't be as crazy and fun as my usual ones are but due to time contraints I'm going to start closing it up...my girl and I will make up for it with our next lesson in a couple of weeks! *Huggles you all*

And thanks so much all the congratulations on my profile....

Gemma smiled at the class and shook her head with all of the answers encouragingly.

As she spoke, the differences appeared on the board, "Great answers. Before I continue I want to remind you that there are other types of Muggle games but these are just the three major categories." she paused and then continued, "The first category is sports. A sport is all forms of physical activity which, through casual or organized participation, aim to use, maintain or improve physical fitness and provide entertainment to participants. Sport may be competitive, where a winner or winners can be identified by objective means, and may require a degree of skill, especially at higher levels"

"The next category is Role Playing Games. Role-playing games, often abbreviated as RPGs, are a type of game in which the participants assume the roles of characters acting in a fictional setting. These can be either in person or through some form of connection in the Muggle world such as through their internet or video gaming systems." she ran through the last part quickly because she wasn't sure how many people would know what everything was in her last sentence.

But she smiled as she focused on the last part, "The last category, and the most important one in this class is board games. Board games use as a central tool a board on which the players' status, resources, and progress are tracked using physical tokens. Many also involve dice and/or cards." she held out her hands toward the stack of games beside her.

"And many of your classmates have already listed a great variety of board games. These can include my favorites, Monopoly, Life, Twister, Sorry, Scrabble, etc." she paused as she pointed to each of these games in the tower of games.

She flicked her wand and stacks of board games appeared all over the class. "I would like to invite each one of you to come up to a stack of games near you and grab a board game that looks interesting to you." she said as each of the stacks shook and shimmied magically.

OOC: Just rp your charrie coming up and choosing a game. I've added a list of some possible games but feel free to add any that you like but just make sure they are BOARD GAMES. The stacks will not fall on you so please don't act like they will. They have been enchanted to give you any game that you walk up and say the name of. Remember to keep chatting down because Gemma is still here watching over you!!!
