I came up with a variation on what was already a decent game and got to pilot it with Mr. Schiller's 5th grade this week. Esther Billings introduced me to the game she had found in the book, Nimble with Numbers by Leigh Childs and Laura Choate, Dale Seymour Pub., 1998 The 5th grade came up with two names, Destination Elimination (which I like because it rhymes), and Decimal Pickle. This suggested by a student who's answer for everything is pickle. (I'm sure you know a student like that.) But here, it reminded me of a childhood baseball game that none of the kids knew but kind of fits. (The baseball game Pickle.) My Favorite Pickle Decimal Point Pickle Set Up: 1. 2 or more teams or players. 2. Get a deck of cards and remove the Kings, Queens, 10s and Jokers. Jacks stay in. 3. Each player or team makes a path with 10 spaces. It can be straight and rectangles, or it can be curvy and circles, but it needs to have 10 spaces and a clear beginning and end. 4. Shuffle the cards. Playing: Idea is that you’re going to fill in your path from small to big, flipping over cards to get possibilities. 1. On your turn, flip over a card. If it’s red, flip over another card. If it’s red, flip over another card. But you never flip more than three. If you run out of cards, shuffle up the used cards. 2. Arrange those cards to make a decimal number. Jacks are the zeros. The smallest number you can make is .000, and the largest is .999. Say your number. 3. Fill in your decimal number somewhere on the path. But it can’t go before a smaller number or after a bigger number. Your path has to start small and end big. If there’s no place to fill in your number, you don’t. 4. Winner is the first person to completely fill in their path, with all the numbers in order. Examples: 1. J ♥, 3 ♣. You can make .03 or .30. 2. 5 ♥ hearts, so you flip 2 ♦, so you flip 7 ♥ hearts. (You stop because you can’t have more than three.) You can make one of .275, .275, .527, .572, .725 or .752. Which you want depends on your path. 3. Sample filled in path below. Variations: 1. Simpler: Play where you always flip over 2 or 3 cards. 2. Play cooperatively. Two players work together to fill in one path. 3. More complex: Play with 10s, which fill in 2 places. So 10 ♦, 5 ♠ can be .105 or .510. 4. More complex: Play without the three card limit. You could hit a 10 digit long decimal or longer! (Pretty unlikely, but still…) 5. Make 12 space paths. 6. Play with Jokers as a wild digit. Teaching Notes: As often with a new game I played me vs the class first. It was clear that the blackjack-esque possibility of extra cards was exciting, and they quickly got the idea that it was a big advantage. I didn't castigate anyone for saying "point two three" but often asked "so how do you say that number?" I shared how I thought about getting numbers close together and they really ran with it. In general hitting on lots of ideas about where to put numbers, how to divide up the path, etc. In their 2 on 2 games, there was a lot of good discussion about strategy, how to leave space, and what they wanted to turn over. There was a lot of excellent comparing of decimals of different length. (One amazing discussion comparing .1 to .065) Students got very creative with their paths and I was quite glad I hadn't brought any preprinted ones. We actually wound up playing with everyday math cards, which thankfully came in black and blue. Whew! If you give it a try, please let me know what you think. ---> PDF of the game.

Dal, a staple in every Indian household. There are countless varieties. This is one of the most popular, it is always found in any Indian restaurant.
Veg-O-Rama, the Indian-American eatery, has gained new territory in Canton, adding to the ever-expanding vegetarian food scene in metro Detroit.
I must admit... I LOVE veggie tales. Especially when Madame Blueberry sings the "busy" song. That's how I feel lately... BUSY. It's starting to make me crazy. I've been reading this blog - Simple Mom quite a bit lately and have been SO inspired. I so desire a simple life for myself and my family. All the running we do seems to make us grumpy and tired. All the tv we watch seems to make us bored when it's not entertaining us. Kind of lame. My goal over the next few weeks is to finish up the MANY projects I've started. The shutters... painting the great room (those of you who REALLY know me... you can stop laughing now)... cleaning carpet... purging stuff. Even the kids are getting in the spirit - we're having a garage sale on June 12. They've already started sorting through their STUFF - keep pile, garage sale pile, and goodwill pile. I'm so proud! :) So please stay tuned... summer is JUST around the corner! Sounds like a great time for me to get less busy (ha ha ha) and practice being simple...

VeggieTales: 'The Penniless Princess' Trailer
Back in the late 1990's, you could use a predictive theorem at any gathering of college-aged Christians. If the crowd numbered greater than 500, and if there were giant video screens in the vicinity, the probability of seeing a Veggie Tales video approached 100%. And as soon as Larry the Cucumber popped up in a towel and lamented his lost hairbrush, the crowd would go wild and immediately song along. It was an undeniable truth. College-aged Christians in the late 90's loved Veggie Tales. Maybe not all of us, but plenty of us loved those videos enough to pay $15 for a 30 minute VHS. At fifty cents a minute, you'd hope it was worth it, and yes, Veggie Tales back then were more than worth it. In fact, to have a Veggie Tales video in your collection made it elite, for it was evidence of a long and harrowing journey. What are Veggie Tales? Created by Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki, who voice most of the characters, they are animated stories about anthropomorphised vegetables as they go on adventures and learn important Bible lessons. They retell Bible stories or spoof popular movies such as the Wizard of Oz, Indiana Jones, or Lord of the Rings. While they seem like something only kids could enjoy, they are incredibly funny with many clever jokes and pop-culture references that only adults will truly appreciate. Please don't turn us into a salad! They weren't on television, you couldn't rent them, so either you borrowed them from a friend or bought your own. This was back before Amazon was more than a place you were afraid God would send you if you became a missionary. You couldn't get them at Wal-Mart or any normal store. No, to get your Veggie Tale fix, you had to buy it from a Christian bookstore. And you hoped that the one close to where you lived had it, because otherwise it would be at least an hour-long drive to get to the next one. Even if they carried Veggie Tales, there was no guarantee that they had the one you were looking for. But once you got it and brought it home, it was a prize, proof that you had what it took to find a copy of an obscure children's show starring computer-animated produce. And why, you ask, did this matter so much to us? To me? Did we love it ironically? No, our love was genuine because Veggie Tales were funny, clever, witty, and just a little bit subversive. It was unlike any other Christian programming we'd ever seen, and they were so well done that it didn't matter if children were the target audience, we marveled at a "Christian" video that was actually good. (And if you think I'm making a backhanded insult about most Christian media, I am.) "Larry, did you let Joel Schumacher direct this episode? It is in the nature of college students to love cult classics, from the Evil Dead movies, Rocky Horror Picture Show, and of course, Monty Python. Veggie Tales quickly became part of the cult canon, and you'd never go wrong with a Dancing Cucumber reference when someone spoke Spanish, or asking if someone's Aunt Ruth had a beard. A misplaced hairbrush was just an excuse to break into song. Soon, event organizers knew that nothing would elicit the cheers like playing one of the Silly Songs with Larry in between the latest videos from D.C. Talk and Audio Adrenaline. Hey kids! Let's do the Time Warp again. Of course, Veggie Tales did not remain in obscurity, and like your favorite band that only you've heard of, it just wasn't the same when they went mainstream and started to play it safe. I still like Veggie Tales, but I haven't watched it in a long while. While the new material is good, the early stuff, from back in the 90's, that was the best. And I'd like to go through some of what made those Veggie Tales the great cult classic. Look at me! I'm beloved! The first episode I watched was Dave and the Giant Pickle, a retelling of the Bible story of a boy who bludgeons a large man to death with a rock and then beheads him. Naturally, Vischer and Nawrocki made a few story revisions. They also added in their own brand of screwball comedy, including what might be the first ever Monty Python reference in a Christian children's cartoon. The Philistines, portrayed by French peas, taunted the Israelites in the same way that the French knights taunted King Arthur in Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail. For all you know, that's how it happened. Dave and the Giant Pickle also included screwball antics involving tipping sheep, pizza with cheese in the crust, and a fantastic reference to Jurassic Park. It was a smart video that actually succeeded in offering a Christian message without being complete drivel. I know. I'm as amazed as you are. While I preferred Dave, many of my friends liked the much edgier video Rack, Shack, and Benny, which was the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. It's another Bible story that's pretty dark. In the Bible story, the three were kidnapped, enslaved in Babylon, and thrown in a fiery furnace for not bowing to a gold idol. In the Veggie Tales version, "Rack," "Shack," and "Benny" are part of a group of children who work at a factory for an unexplained reason, and they are thrown into a furnace for not worshiping a giant Bunny. Kids, this is why you unionize! What made this video extra special was the Bunny Song. It contained lyrics such as "I don't love my Mom or my Dad, just the Bunny." And while it was supposed to be the bad song the good guys refused to sing, it proved to be so incredibly catchy parents complained that their children were singing a song about not going to church or school. You know you have a great kids video when you get in trouble with parents. I knew that bunny was up to no good. You just can't trust chocolate. Why do you think we loved these videos? They were both clever and subversive, something practically unheard of in Christian media, the most earnest of genres. There were other episodes, but these two were the most popular in college video collections. The best part about Veggie Tales, though, were the Silly Songs with Larry. The Silly Songs were just that, songs about something incredibly silly. They were also lyrically clever, incredibly catchy, and absolutely hilarious. They were no doubt inspired by some of the sillier Monty Python songs over the years, and even if you didn't like the Veggie Tales, you had to love these songs. "Love my Lips" not only taught you the Polish word for lip, but included a reference to Sonny Bono and the mole. Dance of the Cucumber is funny for Spanish speakers. Watch Bob grow ever more angry as he translates insults directed at him. Of course, the Hairbrush song is a classic and usually the most requested video. It was amazing to watch an entire stadium full of teens and twenty-somethings sing along with Larry. Since we're in the Christmas season, I'd be remiss if I didn't include the song "Oh Santa." Guard your quilts! Of course, Larry wasn't the only one who got a song, as we see in the epic rock ballad "His Cheeseburger." Meat Loaf has nothing on Mr. Lunt. Veggie Tales proved that you could be a Christian and a geek with pop culture sensibilities. It was unlike anything else because it was actually, genuinely good. It wasn't condescending or grating, and the quality of the material allowed it to become a mainstream success. Of course, success comes with a price. Later episodes of Veggie Tales lost that edge. They could get away with a lot of stuff when no one was looking, but with mainstream Christian attention, they felt they needed to tone it down. They didn't want a lot of parent complaints because they, not college students, bought the majority of the videos.While they are still clever and worthy of your time and attention, they aren't the prized collectors items for college Christians like they once were. Tragically, the edge removal was also retroactive. The Bunny Song received an overhaul and became a more positive song. Future releases of "Love my Lips" did not contain an image of Sonny Bono. I'll always cherish those early Veggie Tales videos, and Dave and the Giant Pickle still graces my shelf. Their wit and subversive humor inspired me a time or two, and for that I will always be grateful. I get why Veggie Tales had to change, and I don't begrudge them trying to appeal to the widest audiences. They are doing good work, and I wish them well, because no matter what, they remain constant to one truth that will never go out of style: God made you special, and He loves you very much.
