My Love for Board Games! | Weekend-Engagement 159

 ------ ###### Board Games _{Weekend-Engagement 159} ------ I have to be honest with all of you! I don't play any physical sports! I am totally useless in basketball, volleyball, badminton, and any physical sport you can think of! Why? Perhaps, It is because I never was exposed to these when I was a kid, or maybe I just do not have the skills needed for these activities like endurance, agility, speed, and reaction time. However, this post is about board games which is my game. I always enjoy playing different board games because for me they are totally fun minus the catching of breath and the excessive sweating. It is fun because of the times you are playing individually therefore there are less chances that you will be blamed for losing. It is fun and enjoyable because you get to use your mind a lot, and maybe a pinch of luck. When I think about board games two games automatically comes to mind - SCRABBLE and CHESS. These games were part of my childhood. I played these games with my family and relatives. For chess, I learned this game from my father who is really good at it. I was very amazed at first with the universally known 3-moves gameplay. It took me more than 10 games to figure it out how to block and avoid that. I was amazed how my father can still win the game even if he only have the king, a pawn, and a rook versus me who still had the queen, bishops, pawns, and the king. So, I had that pressure even as a child to fight and win battles because that is my father's way of teaching. But, please do not get me wrong! I love playing chess because it is very analytical and strategical (if that's a word in English)  I used to play scrabble with our neighbor and it was always a fun activity to do it with them. We made it more fun by adding dares and consquences for losers after each game. The consequence could be drinking 2 glasses of water, having a charcoal marks on the face, or holding the banana leaves with their mouths in the whole duration of the next game.  Anyways, I am sharing here the photos of my students competing for the district. There are 6 secondary schools in our district and we are glad to have won the tournament. The first place winners of the District Meet would go forward to the Division Level competing with the winners of the other four districts.     Anyways, thank you so much for dropping by at my post. I hope you enjoyed it. Until my next post. 😍☺️ ------ ###### *"Enjoy life. There's plenty of time to be dead."* _{*-Hans Christian Andersen*} ------
