One of the many reasons that I love being able to homeschool my kiddos is that they have a lot of free time to play together and with friends that they otherwise wouldn't have. They are spending quality time learning how to deal with different situations and inventing new games to play.
This Monopoly money has been so many different things. It has been used for the game, of course, and has been used to purchase goods, services and food from inside our home. We have used it for many of math lessons also. We have bought snack & lunch with it, placed to go orders and paid for Spy services from Brogan's Spy Agency (yes, she helps me keep an eye on her brothers!). Somehow, I'm not quite sure how, Brogn always ends up being the conroller of the money. This hasn't been a controversial issue, yet, but Iam sensing it soon will be. Christian just wasn't a big fan of having to pay for his gun today! We can only wait to see what it will be next.
I remember so many snow days playing Monopoly with my siblings. I can only imagine how often we would have played it had we been homeschooled!
