Crown me!

July 10th, 2006 6 comments

Two days ago, I taught Emily to play checkers. She was actually interested, which is good, since sometimes it’s tough to get her attention on these things. I think her familiarity with chess was helpful. Also, the Groovy Girls checkers set probably didn’t hurt.

Yesterday, she asked to play twice, and looked like she was thinking about her moves. Could have been coincidence.

Today, we played and I explained why I was taking some moves instead of others. Then she’d put the pieces back on and experiment with looking at how the different outcomes played out.

Tomorrow she’ll probably be beating the pants off of me. Smart kid!
