And do not interrupt my class with your yelling...that is just plain rude and uncalled for." she paused still with her blank look on her face, "If there is an issue with others bothering you yelling is not the solution...simply bring it to my attention and I will deal with it in my own way...because yelling does not solve anything." she said with a final nod.

Gemma focused quickly back in on the rest of the class and was so excited about the student's answers. She was truly overwhelmed by the responses.

"Yes yes yes!!!" she said excitedly. "You are all correct in your responses!"

She flicked her wand and the stack of games began to sort out into seperate stacks, "In the Muggle World, and in some extent in the Wizarding Community, the different games are divided into a variety of categories. So let's try to divide up the different games you mentioned into the different categories so we can better understand them. "

"There are three major categories that games can be divided into. These are Sports, Board Games, and Role-Playing Games." She said with a little nod up and down with approval as she spoke as if she was agreeing with herself.

"Anyone want to take a guess at what each category is focusing on or what games fall under each category?" she asked the class quickly.

Jez couldn't help agreeing with that Maybelle girl. It did kind of feel like the Muggle-borns got a head start in this class because of their heritage. But then again, she'd been helping her older siblings brew potions all her life, so she'd probably excel in that class.
Jez raised her hand to answer the question. "A sport is an activity that requires a certain amount of physical exertion and skill, in which an individual or team competes against another for entertainment. An example of this is tennis, where an individual or team of two must use a bat to hit a ball from one side of a net to the other."
'Without the use of broomsticks,' Jez added to herself. 'Pointless, that.'
"A board game is any game played on a board," she continued, "especially one that involves the movement of pieces on the board. An example is chess, although Muggle chess pieces don't move." Which made the game rather dull. What's the point in winning if the pieces didn't destroy the other player's?
"A role-play game is like playing pretend. Players act out being different people, like theatre, although they just do it for fun. Young children often play it because it stimulates their minds, and helps them explore and understand the world around them." She'd played that as a little kid, and it had been pretty fun. One of the things wizards and Muggles had in common, she supposed. Their children's minds.
