I then read the books to my daughter before bed. Anyhow, we've requested yet another year of the "club," and I (somewhat selfishly!) asked if she would deliver One Mixed Up Night as the year's first read! I am so looking forward to this one!

I like it, but it's definitely harder because easier to have a clue apply to a lot of cards. When playing with the literate, I definitely go with the regular version. We also made up a different version where you give a clue of a movie or book title. It's surprisingly hard. Quick question: I'm trying to start writing at home. Can you remind me of your buddy system? You text your partner and promise to write a certain number of words or for a certain amount of time? Thank you for all you do! Good luck with those sweet teenagers.

It is interesting in how many details (many odd) are on every card, so it leads to a multitude of words or concepts being appropriate for every card. Easier in some ways, more challenging in others.
