I recall reading that. I wasn't sure if you taught autism spectrum kids or not. I forgot who teaches what. So I thought I'd share my experience with the game and autism spectrum kids.
it sounds like you have had a fun year. I'd like to do some sort of game day for school age kids at my game/hobby store (which was bought and reopened under new managament recently). I'll have to think how to go about it, so I don't have too many kids to handle and I'm not babysitting while mom/dad are off playing their RPGs.

Kimberly,
I entirely agree. I actually posted about this recently to the regular Rabbit list. I used Zendo and Black Ice in a class recently and I have never seen the kids so focused. An administrator came in and was pretty stunned at how focused they were and how much logic they were needing to use to play the games. It really made an impression on her and she asked where she could get copies of the Treehouse herself and for the school in general.
(As a side note - the reason she was asking this is because next year I will most likely be leaving this school to teach somewhere else. She was wanting to get info on my sources and how I was getting such good results out of this class before I left at the end of this school year.)

I recently taught my 12 yr old son, who has Asperger's Syndrome (high functioning autism) how to play Black Ice. He LOVES IT! He seems to think it is 'being sneaky' to hide the little piece under the lock.
But, just thought I'd suggest teaching this game to your kids/students that have issues like ADHD or Autism Disorders if you haven't yet. It seemed to be a great game for my Aspie Kids.
