My youngest son was 12 yesterday. His best (and cheapest) present was a bag of army men. He (and I) really enjoyed playing with them after tea. We shared them out and then had a battle using two dice and rules that we made up as we went on. He won. Great stuff. Later we played consequences and categories in the front room.
Jonny and I used to have some epic games of toy soldiers when he was younger. We used to take it in turns to roll a ball at each other's divisions. He usually won.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I had a few happy hour with soldiers like these. I used to use the bandsmen as ammunition.
