High engagement without a device. Really!
I was a pretty introverted kid growing up in the 70's. Keeping busy and especially when it was just me required many trips to the library and tons of "craft" time. Paper games and crafts became my hobby. Everything from paper airplanes, origami, magic, word puzzles, treasure hunts and paper models were some of the many pastimes I used to learn and have fun.
When I got older, I started to make my own games and puzzles to share when I was teaching or with my own kids. Now that everyone has some type of personal mobile device to look at, it seems like old paper and pencil games have become a thing of the past. But it turns out that there is something still magical when you put the devices down and hand someone a really cool paper game, puzzle or activity. The tactile feeling in your hands, the high-contrast images, the reminiscing about simpler days, all evoke a positive emotion and engagement. Don't believe me? Try it. Within just a few minutes you'll be shocked at how engaged your group is in these simple but truly interactive paper games.
Browse my shop and download a few items to try. There's always a good time to try one of these games: church, car rides, family game night, classrooms, parties, rainy days, and more.
Peace
