Can you believe it’s Friday as we go into the weekend I wanted to share our #HomeschoolwithBoardGame Zero Down from Blue Orange Games with you. David works all weekend.
Charlie and I will be playing Catch-Up from being sick this week. Instead of doing traditional lessons were going to be hosting our own Olympics using Board Games.
At the end of the weekend who ever wins the most Games will get to pick where they want to go to Dinner and have a free day to do anything they want. As well as get our Trophy and bragging rights until the next Olympics.
