Message Board Games

One of the things that's great about an online community that meets offline. We have the advantage of the calendar, photos, and message boards. The message board is a great way to break the ice, get to know members, and have a lot of fun!

Here are some games to help get your message board going!

One of our most participated was the Alphabet game. You pick a topic and the group has to go A-Z on that topic.

We used ice cream flavors for our first go around because so many of our moms had talked about having a sweet tooth.

Player 1: Almond

Player 2: Buttered Pecan


We had a bunch of people goggling for the hard to find letters like Q. Several name brands have "old flavor" lists where we got a lot of our answers.


Anybody have games they'd like to share?

I am a VECDCS

Yesterday, I got to hang out one of our local TV new stations. I got to see the control room, the studio, I even accidentally (yes it was an accident) got of TV! I met the producers, the director, the camera guys, the graphics guy and the reporters too! Of course, you know me: the entire time I was there I was hoping there is would a clear cut opportunity to get them to do a story on the group.

But since I like to be etiquettly correct; I didn't breathe a word of it. However, I was hoping it would come up. I even had a plan.

I figured that somebody at the station would have asked me what I did for a living. I refused to tell them that I am a stay at home mom: Despite how much I value being one, I also understand how undervalued my status is at this day and age is from certain perspectives. So instead, I've chosen a title for myself.

I am a

Volunteer : What I do with my time is volunteer. I schedule events, I meet people, I direct people, but all this is volunteering.

Early Childhood Development: Duh. What part of my day doesn't involve early childhood development?

Community Specialist: I specialize in creating a community of moms in our area. I mean that is what a playgroup is, right?!

I wanted to give it a special name because I know it will attract interest. There was only one problem with my plan; no one asked me what I did for a living. My group never came up and most of the time I spent sitting in a chair silently, while everyone went busily about their day. But it's OK. I know I'll get another chance. The volunteer Early Childhood Development Community Specialist in me knows it.

What do you do for a living?
