Childhood Games
Brainstorm a list of games you played as a child.
Just to name a few.
Select one game from you list with a caveat in mind: Select a game that taught you something beyond the game itself. For example, playing hundreds of hours of dunkball may teach someone how to pass, dribble, shoot, and defend, but it also may teach much more. It could teach the value of teamwork. To accept both victory and defeat graciously. It could teach that a person wanted to keep pace with his/her peers, he/she had better practice, practice, practice.
Write about your game, reflecting & expressing. Consider what the game really taught you.
