Fun and Games

Ethan recently completed a project for his World Geography course that he especially enjoyed-- along with three other boys, he designed a board game. It has a South American theme:

Players in the game each choose a specific rain forest animal that has been displaced from its native habitat; the goal is to trvael through the forest and try to reach "home base". More photos:

Ethan put in a great deal of work drawing cartoons for the board and coming up with ideas for the game pieces, the questions, etc. Very nice work.

Lydia even wanted to play it (must be a good game!).

I am glad things went well with this project. Ethan told me that he had a less-than-perfect experience with the group project that he did this past fall; one of the other kids that was on his team never finished his piece, which left the project in an incomplete state. This time Ethan was a bit more careful choosing his partners (he also seems to have done quite a lot of the work himself, which I suppose also helps).
