Which Of These Board games Does Your 7year Old Play?

Helloooo!!!  Is it still a new year? Happy new year dear reader.

So...Is it Chess, Othello, Scrabble, Word Whizz, Snakes and Ladder, Monopoly, Or even Cards?

It's February and it is still a new year this 2018 and we at the book club are excited because we are travelling to so many places this year, yeas you heard right...through our books.😋😁.

If you have been following us, we have read and gisted about many Nigerian classics like CHIKE AND THE RIVER, WITHOUT A SILVER SPOON, BOTTLED LEOPARD...Just name them. This February, we are reading EXPO 77 and ANIMAL FARM.
We are so excited, Join us if you are too.

So, Lets talk with the co-ordinators, Ms Ufuoma says...'So we resumed bookclub this year with happy memories of our holidays in our usual venue...Thought Pyramid Art Gallery.


Those of us who weren't able to travel learned that traveling does not ensure holiday fun.
And Lesoda taught us a song he learned from his holiday on the five magic words of etiquette.


We played board games that were not only fun, but also designed to teach us how to be better people in our society and how to read properly.

Bookclub ended with the announcement that we were going to read Expo 77 by Chukwuemeka Ike for our next meeting and we had very moist cup cakes from Kay's Pastries.'

Then, for Ms Makcit aka the purple diva says 'The young ones wrote and narrated their holiday experiences and we all realised that no matter what you do or don't do, it's all about who you spend it with - family.

The mothers were asked to send the kids over with board games and they surely did because there were a lot of them; Chess, scrabble(s), Othello and Word Whiz - which is a fun way of teaching kids to be courteous and upstanding. Guess what? It was their favourite game.

Over all, it was a successful outing. 7-year old Lesoda reminded the kinds of a song 'the 5 magic words' which include; Please, excuse me, sorry, thank you and pardon me.

We discovered some great writing/narrative skills in some kids that need honing and there were deliciously divine cupcakes to round it up courtesy of Kay's Pastries (You should check them out on IG @kayspastries).

For a first outing in 2018, it was definitely successful. Would you like to know more about what we do? Send us a mail to ahemdoomc@gmail.com and be sure to check us out on Instagram @ACBookclub

Catch you later 😁


As for Ms Didi, had this to add, 'We also played board games like Scrabble, chess, word wizard, etc. that helps to build our cognitive, social and psychological abilities, teaching us to be better people.

The meeting was fun-filled, interactive and engaging. We truly look forward to the next meeting where we will be reviewing the book Expo 77 by Chukwuemeka Ike.

Thank you to @Thought Pyramid Art Gallery, @Kayspastries @Mummy Oyiwodu and the children, for making it worth while. So catch ya on February 10th, we would gist you about Chukwuemeika Ike's EXPO 77.
