The time was approaching for yet another lesson and Kaysha was quite ready. It was a brilliant morning, the sunshine was streaming through windows and she was in an even better mood than usual. She already had her classroom squeakily cleaned and today, she opted to give a hint of what her lesson would be. Wasn’t that strange as this was something she usually didn’t do? Anyway, Kay was at the doorway of the classroom ready to greet you! She does so and when you enter to take a seat, you’ll see a short list on her white board:

Go on! Have your seat! You may chat among yourselves but keep the noise level to a minimum.

Juno thought for a few moments. She had an answer for both questions so she simple raised her hand and waited to be called on.
When she was she commented, "Well a board game is basically any game that is played on a board that involves moving pieces or tokens...like Chess or Monopoly, for example. My family used to play tons of board games. We set one night a week aside to play them. It was our family night. I think many families have a night like that so that they can spend time with each other and have fun. They are also great for entertainment at parties!" Yep that was it.
Just thinking about board games gave her good memories of her childhood. So many wonderful memories made.

Oh. They WERE going to be discussing board games, interesting. Etta thought for a moment, considering the questions. Hm. The girl raised her hand soon, prepared with an answer. Well, kind of.
Since others had already defined what a board game was, she decided to answer a little differently. "Well.. board games are generally played with a goal that a player wants to achieve? The purpose is to win, generally." Etta said. "We play them.. to relax. To forget about our problems for a little while?" Yes? Did that make sense? She leaned back against her seat and listened to the other answers.
So the board games were only making this Muggle Studies lesson a thousand percent better. They were going to be able to play the games at the end of the lesson yeah? She sure hoped so. Or at least Professor Stewart could leave the games in the Muggle Studies game room place.
Board games had definitely been defined by many alright. "Board games are a good thing to do on a rainy day." Her and Phillip and the other siblings would play board games on rainy days when they couldn't go outside to play.

Class was ready to begin and Janelle turned her attention to Professor Stewart. Soooo......they were learning about muggle board games today. Janelle was happy about that. Before she knew it, the first question was being posed. She paused a moment to reflect on what she knew about board games and then raised her hand.
"Board games are played on a board made of cardboard, wood or maybe plastic. You also have some game pieces or tokens. The object is often to get your tokens around the board before your opponent or to get from one side of the board to the other first. Board games are fun to play and some of them require you to really think and use strategy. Playing them can also help you develop good sportsmanship."

Well...it seemed kind of self explanatory what a board game was to him. They were not exactly foreign objects to even purebloods after all since wizard's chess was something they were all brought up knowing...so Derf was going to politely decline to answer that part of the questions being asked. Besides, his classmates were doing a good job at explaining.
"You play board games-s when you're bored," he chirped.

Board games.
Noelle grinned because she knew exactly what those were. it'd been a while since she had played one but she had half a muggle family. They were bound to play.
"Board games are just that. Games played on boards. They have lots of different designs and rules. Some have pieces. The goal is to beat the other team or player." She said as she jotted down the games that were on the board.

Board games! Yassssssssssss.
Did professor Stewart know it was one of his favorite things in the whole wide world? Apart from dogs, plants, funny looking pictures of cats, socks with flowers on them, donuts, movies, donuts IN movies-
Carlton had chosen a seat next to Skylar. Because FRIEND. Classes were hard for him (especially DADA with the children-eating-monsters) but he could always trust muggle studies to come naturally to him and of course, it was always fun. And he really needed fun these days.
He smiled as he scanned the list of board games. Good, good, good. "Why wouldn't we play it?! It's not only because we're bored it's because it's FUN. It's very easy to realize that if you actually play it." So like, moving on now. Would they get to actually play one? Like actually? IN CLASS? He had to ask, curiousity was killing him.
"So, professor, are we going to play some? Are we, professor? Have you brought some here, professor? Can I be the dog in Monopoly, professor? I already know all the rules, professor." Now. Let's get started with this, professor.

Olly was definitely there, and sitting by Noelle yes he was. He had been excited at seeing the list of board games. They were going to be studying something fun. He already knew about them, of course. Who didn't? He hoped they didn't learn boring things about them. He also hoped they were going to get to play. It was sort of fitting, considering he had just played a muggle board game a couple days ago with Remy. But it might be best not to think about that right now. He was in class and emotions were distracting. He raised his hand to answer the first question.
"They're called board games because if you're bored you want to play them." And then he laughed because he was hilarious. Sure he knew the name was probably because they were typically played on a board, but lots of people had already said that so there was no point in him repeating them.
So it were games after all! But well… If she was honest then she needed to say that she never really had been a fan of board games, she knew them, yes, but who didn’t? She had played a lot of those games when she had been younger but the last few years? Hmmm, not that much! But if you were asking her when she had last played a video game or something related to electronics then her answer would have been different. But now… She just found those games boring and she secretly hoped that they weren’t going to play them during today’s lesson. Deciding to not answer and to just listen she stayed silent because, why answer if she didn’t liked any of it anyway?
That had been close. At least Professor Stewart hadn't closed the door on her face. It wasn't like she would mind terribly for most lessons but Muggle Studies was always fun. Especially if this was going where she thought this was going and they got to play games. Also, did she know what they were? PSSH.
"Their name is pretty accurate. Games that revolve around a board." Hand raised in the air, the Slytherin grinned cheekily at her own words. "Some of them have a lot of complicated rules, others not so much. They're mostly pretty fun, especially when you can't go outside OR if your younger siblings want you to play with them but they're too young for Quidditch." Yes. Board games: for when Quidditch is not an option.

Rooney put his hand up in the air and smiled carefully at Professor Stewart. "Some people," himself included, "like to play them for strategical reasons. To learn different situations and read other players faces. Great studying for poker faces." Or that was what he used them for. A lot of them required deeper thinking, forward analysis and the art of surprise attack.

Well, being a Gryffindor.... Olivia had some different perspective with games in general. You see, she played games of that nature because of how.... competitive she could be. It wasn't a joke, either.
Liv liked to WIN. It was as simple as that.
"I personally play them to beat people, because I'm a fierce, fearless competitor." No truer words have ever been spoken, amright? "... And winning can make you feel wonderful, at times when you sincerely need it." Similar to a confidence boost, you see? "You really should add Scrabble to your list, Professor. It's educational AND fun."
Olivia played it with her mum, and lost more times than not, but her vocabulary was an impressive one.

Kane blinked at some of his classmate's answers. There were some...competitive people here at Hogwarts, huh? Kane liked playing games for FUN. It was never fun if someone was too competitive or a sore loser.
He raised his hand. "There are all types of board games - some even revolve around creating your own character and using them to complete tasks. I think they're called role playing games," he answered. THOSE were super fun!

It seemed like her classmates had covered the definition of a board game pretty well, so Rula turned her focus to thinking of a reason why people would play them. The others had covered those pretty well too, but she still wanted to participate, so her hand went up. "Some people don't like a lot of active games like sports, but they still want to play a game and have fun, so maybe board games would be preferable to them."

He'd chime in, though.
Raising his hand, he said, "Board games are designed on a piece resembling a board, only it's decorated with the theme of the game." He didn't want it to seem like he was suggested that it was just a plain, wooden board. "All the game play centers around the board. Umm...I think somebody would want to play a board game, because they're not really dangerous, and it's something they can even do inside if the weather's bad."

You can play board games with other people. Board games give you something fun to do." Isa was more of the type for running around outside games like tag, but she had fun playing board games with her family too. Family bonding times were the best. She loved her family more than anything else.

Sure he could give the definition.. but he wanted to say why he would play a board game instead! So the seventh year raised his hand and spoke,.
" My family actually had a few board games, and we would play them as a family to have togetherness time.. It was a time to connect and have fun together.. I always looked forward to our game nights. " He said smile.

Kay called out on her students randomly, making notes on the whiteboard. She couldn’t help but chuckle at Oliver’s definition. “Oh, so close, Mr Borzekowski-Thomas!’’ she said with her eyes twinkling. “I like the way you put that, however.’’ And he was thinking out of the box, yes? Or was he simply trying to be funny? Whatever the reason, she appreciated the answer regardless.
“Excellent replies, everyone,’’ she stated in general to the class with great enthusiasm. The notes on the board had expanded now. But there seemed to be at least one other person in the room who was more enthusiastic than her. “You’ll have to wait and see, Mr Lewis! You just might have your wish.’’ Kay was all chuckles again. She had some absoloutely adorable younger ones in here today! “You’re free to make your notes and while you do that, can you tell me if you have a favourite board game? Can you give a brief overview of how it’s played please? For those of you who have never played any, you can tell us about a particular game you’d want to try and why. Ms Phillips, since you have already suggested Scarbble, why don’t you lead us off with an overview?’’ In the meanwhile, she would add the suggestion to the board.

No answer to the questions from Leesha but Kay knew that the Slytherin was paying attention. This was enough for her.

Board Games:
* Are designed on a piece resembling a board, only it's decorated with the theme of the game.
* Are games that you play on marked boards and they usually involve moving some sort of game piece or tokens around on the board.
* Are played on a board made of cardboard, wood or maybe plastic.
* Can have complicated rules at times.
* Can also revolve around creating your own character and using them to complete tasks.
We play board games because:
* Family/ bonding time.
* They're not really dangerous and it's something they can even do inside if the weather's bad.
* To relax.
* To help you think and to use strategies.
* They can help you develop good sportsmanship.
* Because they’re FUN.
* To beat people/ because there are times when winning can help you feel better.
* Some persons may not like a lot of active activities like sports and will choose games over sports.

Board games....
Noelle thought about some of the board games that she played when growing up. She bit her lip trying to think. She looked over at Olly and gave him a nudge.
"I like Battleship." Noelle said, holding her hand up. She wasn't a 100% if that was actually a board game or not but close enough right? "Theres two players. Each player has their own board. And you have your ships and then your darts. The boards are lined up with numbers. So the opponent will say a combination of letters and numbers, like c3 to try and sink your ships. Whoevers ships are sunk first wins."
Noelle had always gotten so competitive during that game. She swore her dad moved pieces.

Why did they play boardgames? Well yes family bonding time was the start of it. Also Muggle culture familiarity, as both his parents insisted that he doesnt lose touch of that heritage. But Monopoly specifically, his father wanted him to be a great business man, just like himself. What Tenacius couldnt say was that the very nature of Monopoly was something he wasnt very comfortable with. Its a game that encourages greed. And he couldnt say that to his dad because he knew it was basically accusing his hero of being greedy.
But right an overview of Monopoly. Up goes the hand "Monopoly is basically a real estate game, the goal being that players buy properties listed on the game board and they can collect rent money when other players land on it. The more properties they own the more money they can collect. The more developed those properties are, like if there are houses and hotels on it, the more they can charge players when they land there. And theres a bonus if a player owns all the properties listed on a specific color group-- hence MONOPOLY. Eventually the game becomes too expensive for other players and they lose money until they go bankrupt. Last man standing wins."
Which is basically how real life works. Whoopeedoo.

Olly paused before answering this question. He'd played a lot of board games and he didn't know which one exactly was his favorite. He really didn't have a preference and usually just played whatever Colin picked out. Of course the game Life immediately popped into his head because he'd recently played it. But thinking about that made him think about other things he didn't want to think about. He focused on Colin and all the times he had played that game with his brother. Finally he raised his hand to give an explanation.
"At home my siblings and I like to play Life. It's a game where you spin a wheel and move your car piece around to different spaces that signify life events like getting married, buying a house, adopting a child. Bad things can happen to you too like a tree falling on your house or something. Whoever has the most money at the end wins."
Etta stared at the board absently as she considered the questions. Well.. she didn't really play that many board games back at home but she definitely did like a couple of them. She raised a hand to answer after a few moments.
"Professor, I think I like chess a lot because it makes you think? And think quick too. You need to analyse and strategise your every move, hoping that move doesn't end up making you lose later on. Chess is a two-player game, each player has sixteen pieces and each of those pieces have different moves. The goal is to 'checkmate' that is.. to make sure one of the pieces, the 'King' can't escape. The most powerful piece is the queen, though. She can move in pretty much every direction." She smiled before her attention turned towards the parchment in front of her. Adding additional notes, she looked up and waited for the class to move on.

Carlton sighed, dangling his legs a little as the students offered up their definitions of board games. He scribbled down notes while he listened.
Favorite board game? His hand shot up in the air. Me! Me! Pick me!"My favorite isn't on the board, professor!" Which was a DISASTER. "Dungeons and Dragons!" Bounce, bounce, bounce. "It's exciting and scary and new every time you play. Plus it can go on for months! MONTHS."

Janelle listened while her classmates gave their answers about board games. Then she took notes, as the professor added the information to the whiteboard. It was interesting to hear everyone's personal reasons for playing games. Janelle always enjoyed playing them with her family, especially during the rare times when they were all together.
When Professor Stewart asked about their favorite games, Janelle raised her hand immediately. She had lots of games that she liked, but only one favorite. "I like Sorry.". In fact, Janelle was the queen of Sorry in her house. The object is to get all of your tokens around the board first. You draw cards that tell you how many spaces you can move. If you pick a card that says "Sorry", you get to send one of your opponent's pieces back to their beginning position. I love that part." When she was on the receiving end, it wasn't so much fun though.

Ohh his favorite board game? There was so many that he and his family liked to play. But there was one that sprang to mind that hadn't been said yet. The seventh year raised his hand and waited to be called on before speaking.
"My family and I always like to play Scrabble, there is a board and dozens of lettered tiles, and the object of the game is to make words out of the tiles that you draw and the ones that are on the board.. " He smiled a bit.. "It's pretty fun trying to see what words you can make and how many points you can get.. each letter has a certain amount of points it's worth.. " Z and J being the most.. at least as far as he could remember.
Hmpf, so this lesson was all about games!? She slowly started to lose her hope that she didn’t needed to play a game during this lesson and she now regretted that she was here. Her optimism had completely faded because, well… She REALLY didn’t liked to play board games! Video games, YES! A Nintendo DS, absolutely YES! But a board game? Absolutely NOT! Sighing she listened to the answers of the others and well… Because she had stayed silent during the last question she decided that she needed t show some effort this time, if she liked it or not! So slowly she raised her hand and spoke. “I don’t like it to play board games, to be honest.” She said slowly, “but if I need to name one I played while I was younger then it would be a Muggle game named The labyrinth” she continued. And why I liked it was because I always won with that game and I like it to win.” And after that she fell silent again because, what more was there to say about a game she hadn’t played since… 3 or 4 years? Maybe longer…

Board games…goals…tokens.
Yep, all fit into what Cassie knew from her own times playing them. A family activity for sure, as well as with friends. It had gotten a little harder when Grayson had been old enough to join in on the game playing, her little brother could be a sore loser at times, but it was still enjoyable for the most part. Especially on rainy days as someone said. As for the discussion happening as they moved on, the Ravenclaw had to think for a bit on one that she might deem her fav as she copied notes from the board onto her parchment.
Oooo she had one. One of her favorites hadn’t been mentioned or listed on the board.
“I like a game called Clue. By making guesses and getting near other players on the board, you get clues to try and figure out who committed a crime.” Granted more for the older crowd, but still a competitor. She liked mysteries and puzzles.
Wow that was nice of the professor to give her points for knowing the board games. She smiled but didn't have time to say thank you because the lesson was already starting. The first question was answered so thoroughly by her classmates that she decided to stay silent for now.
But what was her favorite board game? She'd played many games before, but probably one stuck out more than the rest. "One game I've played a lot is Cluedo," she said, her hand flying into the air. "In America it's just called Clue, but everywhere else it's Cluedo. It's for two to six players, and in it you try to discover who murdered Mr. Boddy." It was only after several years of playing that she realized Mr. Boddy clearly referred to the character's dead body. "There are six character figures: Miss Scarlett, Professor Plum, Mrs. Peacock, Reverand Mr. Green, Colonel Mustard, and Mrs. White. Who the killer is determined by who has which cards, or rather, which cards no one has. At the beginning of the game there are three cards put into an envelope that no one sees: one suspect, one room, and one weapon. The winner of the game is the person who determines which card everyone of these three is."
"I like this game because of the memories I have playing it, and also because I like how you solve the mystery, and how there's not really a loser."
