Okay, I'm finally done talking about Candyland. Another game that probably most Americans have played as a child is the board game Operation. You have to try to remove some organs from some poor suffering guy while causing him as little pain as possible. If your tweezers touch the side of the hole, the man's nose glows red and a buzzer sounds! It's a little scary playing it as a child, but also fun. It's a good game to help develop fine motor coordination.



Many of the organs from the man are based on idioms, puns, or phrases in English such as "funny bone", "spare ribs", and "butterflies in your stomach."

Have you ever played this game before?
  

This past weekend was an emotional one. I had the opportunity to see some of my students graduate to the next level of their English language journey. One of my students gave me a precious bouquet of flowers with a handwritten note thanking me even though I feel as if I didn't do much. I didn't expect to cry when I received this gift but I couldn't hold it in because the two students have progressed so much that I can't wait to see how far they'll grow. I didn't notice it but one of my colleagues pointed out how much the bouquet resembled my nails. It's almost as if they picked the bouquet based on my nails lol.
