Anyone have titles of books on board game design at the upper elementary,middle school, or high school level (reading level that is)?
My 4th grade son is going through a bazillion phases right now. One is art...he is busy learning how to draw cartoon, video game characters. Guitar...he is composing on my guitar that I gave him and trying to learn how to play it a bit on his own with youtube, a book, and dvd set we gave him (plus they are learning a bit of guitar in school music class). Drama...he is involved in a drama production.
But the current thing that has caught his fancy is making up his own board games...he designed his own take on Charades as a board game (spending hours doing it). I would love to get him a book about it. Right now he is so ANTI-non-fiction. (His teacher makes them get one fiction chapter book, one non-fiction book and one Spanish book). He whines about hating non-fiction. I suggested that he take one of the things he is really into right now and get a book from that section (music or guitars, art, puppies or dogs- especially training, drama). I was thinking he might really enjoy a book about learning how to design a board game. I searched amazon but the books really look more for adults. If I had a kindle device and not the kindle app on my iPad...I would get one of them because it is free from the lending library...that one looks really interesting if he just reads the parts that would be interesting to him but not worth it to pay only to read 2 chapters.
Anyway...anyone have a list of board game design titles?
ETA...and yes he is exhausting. LOL
