Speaking of board games...
 

Random PSA thought:

Thinking of the Monopoly pieces made me remember that classrooms have old board games they pull out for rainy days. I have so many board games at home that I have no more storage space. I'm going to check if anything that I'm willing to give up could be used by the school.

I urge you to check your closets and donate simple board games to your local elementary school.

Thank you :)

They'll never get my Haunted Mansion Clue game. Never!
:D

Good idea, CP!
:)

Great idea CP.

If schools don't want them child care places will probably take them. If all else fails seal the boxes up and donate them to charity.

I only have 3 board games. 2 monopolies (regular and Disney) and Life. I can't figure out how to play Life (no comments from the peanut gallery please) so it really should go. CP, if you're there at the Pirates meet I may bring it for you to take to school. If I remember and don't get distracted by shiny objects.

When I work for a educational facility I used to just LOVE all of the people who wanted to donate their "valuable art supplies" (ie: trash) to us. While I appreciated the gesture, the stuff was not at all of value to us 99% of the time.

All of my "trash" goes to Out of the Closte and even then they only take usable stuff. The rest gets left for random pickup.

I would hardly compare complete rarely used board games to trash. :rolleyes:

Just speaking from experience. Your milage may vary. Deal with it.

I have a few board games. Monopoly, Sorry, Stratego and Life, I think. How come no one wants to play these anymore?


I think we should have a Swankster Monopoly Tournament!

Game night is a great idea. We have quite a few and don't play them as often as we used to.

But, this ain't gonna be our April swanking. ;)

Those are great games to play. I wonder the same thing. Game nights used to be so much fun!

That would be so much fun. Erica would kick everyones butt. She is the Monopoly queen.

You know our house is always open, ISM.
