So today* after school, my host sister came by my house as she normally does; which I'm grateful for! This time she brought me a popo which is a papaya. It wasn't ripe but man was it good!! I like papayas more unripe than ripe. It was sweet and crunchy: kinda like the bottom of a cantaloupe slice.
Any way, I was bored and our parents were working on the schoolteacher's house because it spoiled over the break. So we sat down and I taught her tic-tac-toe. We played about 40 games but she got better as the time went on. I'm sure we will play many times.
Funnily enough as I write this my sister and a school friend are about to start playing. The kids here are super shy but also very curious so it's funny watching them trying to interact. They at least have started coming around now. I'm sure in two years my house will be full up with kids.
What other games do you think I should teach them? I'm thinking duck duck goose might be a fun one sometime.
Also feel free to send card games with numbers & letters. Think like dollar store games.
Any who I cant wait to read your ideas when I come back to town. Lots of love.
Until next time.

Teach them the squares game! I play that every Sunday during church with the kids I sit with. You just take a piece of paper and put equally spaced dots in a grid pattern. Then the 2 people take turns connecting the dots. Whoever completes the box gets the point for that one and draws an extra line. Do you know the game I'm talking about? My explanation makes no sense.
