Making Game Night More Inclusive

[DeAnn R]

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend.

Check out the latest episode of Dose of DeAnn here. I don’t know about you all, but my family loves to do game nights around the holidays. They’re tons of fun, but they can be challenging for me to participate in. I can’t do things like hold up a stack of cards, or move pieces across a board easily.

Fortunately, when there’s a will, there’s a way. In this video, I talk about some creative solutions I’ve come up with to deal with these obstacles. With some simple tools, things like holding cards, rolling dice, and even putting puzzle pieces together can be accomplished. Enjoy!

Do you have any tips of your own? Are there any other activities you do during the holidays?

I’m not big into games, so I’ll gladly sit on the sidelines and cheer others on. I’m a great hype girl haha. But when I’m forced into something I’ll usually buddy up with someone because of how limited my physical abilities are.

Nothing wrong with being the cheerleader!  The buddy system works great too.  There’s usually always someone looking for a partner.

Partnering is definitely a great idea! I love partnering with kids. Their eager to help me with the things that I can’t physically can’t do, and they (depending on age) often need help with strategy and understanding the game. It makes for good teamwork.
