Whenever we play snakes and ladders in the middle of the game varsha gets angry and starts crying when she has to come down the snake and then we are not able to finish the game. So, the other day i decided that we would play this game differently. I set a time say five minutes and we both have to reach home before that five minutes is up or we have to start all over again. The first time she was not that enthusiastic as her mind was used to the old rules of who reaches first but slowly she got involved in the game and we realised that it was much more fun helping each other and reaching home within the time set.
She taught the game to varun and her father and we had fun playing it in the cooperative way. It would be great if these toys when come to the market instead of having the usual rules of winner/loser can give such ideas where the game becomes more fun.
