  2. Thank you for your blog post Izabela. What a great idea! Let’s find out about our classes favourite board games and when they were invented.

    Monopoly is my favourite board game and I have just searched the Internet and found out it was invented in 1933.

  3. I always enjoyed playing with my Rubik’s Cube, which I have just found out was invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernő Rubik.

  4. Hi P4/5. P3 at Longhaugh have been enjoying looking at your blog. My favourite game when I was your age was called Go Fetch It! It was a board game with dogs and bones! You had a cassette tape to listen to as you played! Here is a link to some information about it. I don’t think it is available now. I’ve never seen it in Toys r Us! http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/28558/go-fetch-it

  6. Hi P4/5

    What a busy time you have had lately. I am so proud of you all for organising such a successful Gaming Day for the school. Everyone had a fantastic time and you raised such a good amount of money!

    I have enjoyed reading all about your favourite board games and have been a bit nostalgic thinking about what I loved when I was little. My sister, mum and I used to love playing Monopoly and I remember getting into trouble when I was the banker because I kept stealing the money! ooops! I loved to play Ludo and also Chinese Chequers. Perhaps you could research their origins and let me know.

    I remember my sister had a rubiks cube and used to try very hard to complete it but couldn’t. She got annoyed with me the day I completed it (until she found out I had just peeled the stickers off and replaced them in the right places!!!) I have just googled the other Rubik’s Puzzles I had. I remember having the Rubik’s Clock but my favourite was the Rubik’s Magic. I still remember the total buzz around the Rubik’s Magic and how difficult they were to buy and I was so excited when I managed to save up enough of my pocket money to buy one. My friend’s and I used to have challenges to see who could be the fastest to complete it and for a while I was the fastest in the school!!!! I think I have still got mine in the garage. Oooohh I will need to have a look for it.

    Thanks P4/5 that has really cheered me up!!
