Wow, thank-you Carol! :) Another great resource for my
presentation... and interesting besides. My principal did have a
substitute ask her why I included playing Monopoly, Scrabble or Fluxx on
my plan sheet one day when I was out. She supported me, but did ask for
more of an explanation, which I was able to give... but things like this
just support my position!

"Teacher's Corner: An Overview of Modern Games and How to Use Them in
School"
How topical is that???
Besides... Fluxx is listed as a "Good Literacy Game." I would have
added Treehouse and Zendo in both as Good Math Games and Chrononauts
as a Good Social Studies Game (but he didn't have that category...)
but otherwise, the lists he gives are all solid recommendations.
