         Fun and Games.  This summer 2023, I finished inventing and creating a first draft of 23 board games.  The games help to bring fun to learning and learning to fun, for my nature classes and interdisciplinary classes.  For many years, I've played outdoor nature games with my students, and I still do.  This year, I created a series of indoor board games for a change.  The games help me to teach science, art, history, ecology, economy, and more and how they relate to each other and to nature.   See a few of my photos of people and me playing a few of my 23 games, in my daily blog.
