One of the things Sawyer and Xander work on at occupational therapy is learning new games. There are lots of benefits - following directions, turn-taking, social aspects of give and take and conversation. Xander LOVES certain games. He becomes obsessed. We often barter with a favorite game to get him to try a new game at home. Right now, his favorite is Trouble (we have the Minions version). It used to be Zingo. He's also loved a Monster game. We bargain with him to play Connect Four, Scrabble, and others. It also helps if we let him watch a movie, too. Madagascar 3 is a current favorite. But he'll play his favorite games without the movie. Just don't win too many times, or he's not going to like it!
