Time For A Break – by Jane

Week #3

For the Time For A Break challenge, I played a few games. While I was looking through the different games to play and write about, I saw a game that seemed interesting in the list under Art. It’s a game where you make things with colored sand. It reminded me of a game that I love to play called Sandbox. The sand game I played for the challenge was called This Is Sand. One of the differences between Sandbox and This Is Sand is that in Sandbox you also build with different elements, objects, etc and not just sand. Here is a screenshot of what I created in This Is Sand:

After I was done playing that, I looked for other games in the art section. I found one that was called Getty Games. When I opened it up, there were different art game options to choose from. I automatically clicked on ‘Match Madness’ because I know I’m good at matching games.

The last game I played was called Refugees In Sudan. It was under the Simulation Games category. My eyes were drawn to it because when I did Montessori Model UN last April, my country was South Sudan. At the start of the game, you pick who you would like to play as. Then you forge for water to bring to your camp and hide from danger. It took a few tries to fully get it, but after a few minutes the goal was accomplished and I brought back water to my family!
