Brainstorm!

Are you loving The Hobbit?  Remember that our book discussion is Oct 8th.  What parts of the Hero Cycle have you noticed, as you've been reading it?

How is your typing speed?  Anyone going to beat me?  And how are your hero training missions going?  I was very excited to hear about the variety of ways you're all working to stretch and grow!!

Have you all been planning your boardgame?  How has it gone as you worked with each other over email to make a plan for your game?  What fun ideas have you come up with?

From our brainstorming time in class, here are some of the fun, random ideas thrown out there...
3D Columns
Chess-like
Magnetic
Candyland-style
Needs strategy
Ninjas vs. Samurai
Have a goal: steal something, get past guards, fight samurai, unlock weapons, etc.

Role play the hero cycle
Maybe like Monopoly, but going round and round the hero cycle

Have obstacles, maybe even real ones, like a mousetrap

Figures: Old board game pieces, Legos, Copper-wire shaped into figures, clay/sculpey ninjas

It's sure to be fun!!!
