Thanks to a recommendation on the School Psychology listserve, I was introduced to this great game. FLUXX! My family including an 11 year old and soon to be 9 year old, love this game. Playing this game is an intense workout for our executive functioning skills. It requires planning, problem solving, deep concentration, and shifting from rule to ever changing rule. Don't play if you are tired, you will lose badly...very badly. It is a testament to how important alertness is to performing well with complicated tasks. I love that I can teach my kids these skills in a fun game format. As a school psychologist, I am intrigued watching others play this game and how people adapt to the changes. Maybe, I will include it in my test battery or run a group for kids with EF deficits. Work can be fun!
