One of your favorite games to play was Busytown. It was a neat game, based on the Richard Scarry characters and books, in which we actually "cooperated" help one another.First we had to put the board together! It was very long, stretching six or seven feet across the floor.
Then we'd spin to see if we drew a card or if the pigs got to eat picnic food. If we drew a card, we had to find the object on the card and place a "magnifying glass" over it; when the hourglass timer was done, we'd stop and count how many of the objets we found - and that's how many spaces we got to move.
The object of the games was to reach the picnic blanket before the pigs ate up all of the food!
