Thomisina,
What an impressive, creative, perfect adaptation for school. I've
never heard that one suggested before.

Hi, Thomasina!
I like that adaptation! I hadn't bought the game yet, as the theme
just didn;t fit into our school.. but I might have to get it and
make some changes like that! Thanks!

Hi! My name is Thomasina and I teach the REACH program in
Hattiesburg, MS. I have 2nd through 6th grade students who are
ruled Intellectually Gifted. I contacted Looney Labs today about a
game that I use with my students and they told me about this list.
I thought I would share what I have done with my students, but I
have to first tell you how I found out about Looney Labs. My
fiancé and I have a store that sells games (board, card, dice,
miniature, and role playing games). I played a game called "Are
You a Werewolf?" for the first time at our store and have been
addicted ever since. I though it would be a great game to work on
my students' deductive reasoning, creative thinking, and persuasion
skills. Unfortunately, I didn't feel that "werewolves" was the
best topic for my students. I had to find a way to play the game
with my students, so I changed the game to "Are You a Bully?". The
villagers became students; the werewolves became bullies; and the
seer became the principal. My students love this game! I just
printed off some cards with the words student, principal, and bully
on them and had them laminated. It took the students a game or two
to completely understand the object, but once they got it, they
love it. I always stress when they are working on skills and ask
them how they are strengthening their skills.
I hope this was not too long of a first email.
I look forward to hearing all the wonderful things you are all
doing in your classes.
Thomasina "Squeaky"
