My Favorite Games
Daniel’s favorite game is Poke’mon. If you got the highest pokemon card you will beat the other man. You take the pokemon cards out after that. Then you take the highest pokeman card out. First you need a deck of pokemon cards. There are about 100 or 49 or 99 cards in the deck. If you have Charmenda he blows out fire. Then you have Tentacruel, Exeggute, Poliwhirl, Raichu, Charmeleon, Eevee. You see them written down and then you just say charme.
Crash Bandicoot =Crash Bandicoot is fun because you get rubes and you need to get keys. You need to get those to win.

7-up is my favorite game. Rules- no cheating if you cheat you lose. Object, goel- object is when somebody pick you and you don’t know you win. (Fatou B.)

My favorite game is 7- up. The rules for 7-up is to put your head down and put your thumb up and seven people will come around and pick the people who they want. Then they put their thumb down and the people who they picked have to stand up and guess who picked them. If they get it wrong the person who pick them goes again. If you got it right you go and take the persons place. (Kristina McEwen)

Rashad: Name: 7-up. You play it with 7 people or more. You stand up and touch peoples thumb. If the person pick he wrongs person you stay up.

Shalonda Jones: I like to play Playstation on Tekken 2.I also like to play Super Nintendo on Super Mario World. Tekken 2: In Tekken 2 you have to fight the other person and to win you have to beat them.  You can’t play when the other person pause it because that’s cheating. Super Mario World: You have to pass the boards. To win you can’t die from the animals. You have to jump over the trees and other things. Laser Tag: You have to kill the other person to win. You have to hide when the circle lights you die.

Shaquay Simpson: My favorite game is hangman and this is how you play: first you get some players and then one of the players guesses a word and doesn’t tell anybody. Then, the remaining players have to guess the word and whoever guesses the word gets to guess their own word. The other players have to guess that persons word, and so on.

My name is Sigfredo Castaing. My favorite game is basketball. I don’t know what the rules are. Each team has 5 players. The object is to get the must points. My favorite team is the Knicks. Two teams play one game.

My favorite game is Hangman because you can guess letters and win a go and when you win a go you have to do the same thing over. You have to draw a 7 with a line under it. Then you have put the lines of how many letters you or gone to write. At last you can call on anybody you want to call on. (Tanya Durant)

My favorite Game is The Rugrats Space tour. I Like that one. You see a Button and you press it. Do not cheat on the game. (Mariam)

My favorite game is the rug rats treasure hunt. The rules are no cheating, this is what you need to do when you get the repatures then you win. The rug rats space tour is that you have to jump over things. (Selma)

You have to put your head down and your thumb up. No cheating and if you do not guess the person who picked you, if someone sees you, pick them and then they get to go up. I hope that you like my game that I wrote. (Nikole Howard)

The blaster game is when you can see the moon. You run around and then you can go inside a space ship and you can get the plus right. When you finish you can put stars and you have to get the plus right. When you finish the blaster you go to number two. "Blastereiw" is fun! (Edward Tejeba

Basket Ball is my favorite game. You need to shoot the basketball into a hoop. A team has five players. The other team tries to shoot the ball into the hoop, then the other team tries to get the other team to he won¹t shoot the basketball into the hoop. (Johnny Darby)

My favorite game is Checkers. You get a checker' board, then you get one set of pieces. You have two players. If you get to the other players' board you get a king. When you get a king you can move anywhere. A king is two pieces on top of each other. You win when you take all of the other players' pieces. You lose when the other player takes all of your pieces. You can¹t move backwards unless you call it. (Raven Starke

My favorite game is called "Detective". 5 people could play and the teacher half to pick a killer and a Detective. If the Detective could guess how the killer is than the Detective won. But if the Detective guesses wrong than the killer won and than the game is over. (Carlyle)
