Aurora had absolutely no idea about muggle games... but there was something Conan had mentioned... about theme parks... She raised her hand "Um, Professor, I'm not sure that it's a game but they have these things called Rolycoasters." she said. "Oh, and they must have sports... though obviously not Quidditch." she added. Because they didn't have brooms!

Ame's hand shot up as she blushed softly. "Uhm...how about the game Ninja? We played it often where I come from..."

OOOhh ooh Penny being half-blood knew loads of muggle board games...

Putting her hand in the air she said "Professor, when my sister and I were younger we used to play Monopoly - It's a board game based on dice, question and properties.... roll the dice and move your icon, and if you land on the question and get it right, then if you reach an unowned property you can buy it... or if it is owned then you need to pay rent to whoever does own it.."

Maybe that sounded complicated, but Penny understood what she meant.

Angelina raised her hand and said, "Well I heard from my friend that there is a game called golf? Aparently you use a stick like thing, and hit a ball hard or soft, and try to get it into a hole with a certain amount of shots." Angelina's wizard friend visted her muggle mothers hometown this summer, and told Angelina all the things she learned from the muggles.

Adanna raised her hand high. "20 Questions! It's like a little electronic ball. you're supposed to think of something and it'll ask you twenty questions to try and guess what you're thinking of!"
This game was one of Adanna's favorites, and almost always occupied her time when she would visit a Muggle store with her family. She could stand there for hours playing with it without realizing.

Games huh?

Of course Josh knew lots of those and, to be honest, considering and comparing the amounts of Muggle games and Wizarding games he kne, Muggles won the match again as they had more. Or maybe hejust did not know many wizarding games.

''Well...professor. When i used to go to a Muggle school, i liked to play tic-tac-toe during boring classes with whomever sitting next to me.''

Hehehehe...that was right. It was not the bestest of the games yet at least it kept him entertained and sane during deadly boring classes.

''And there's an extremely boring and very Ravenclaw-ish board game called Trivial Pursuit.''

Seriously how would one get entertained by telling each other facts or something. Maybe Ravenclaw-ish Muggles would.

Gideon listened to the various differences his classmates brought up, taking note of a few to possibly look into. It always was interesting to find out more about the muggle side of his family that existed within his family tree. As Professor Cerulean focused the topic onto Muggle games, he couldn't help but watch as the various examples fell from the ceiling. he however couldn't readily think of any he was familiar with. The only game difference that came to mind was the variations of muggle and wizarding chess.

"Well its not a totally muggle game but chess is played in both the magical and muggle worlds with different rules and characteristics," he supplied hesitantly after raising his hand. "Like the pieces dont move on their own or actually fight each other."

Alyssa needed only to think for a second before she raised her hand. "Professor a lot of muggles love to play Angry Birds. It's a game that muggles play on their computer or on the phones, and the object of the game is to shoot different birds at the pigs to destroy them. I know that it sounds like a very violent sport, and I don't know why the birds hate the pigs so much, but I do know that millions of muggles play it, children AND adults".

Muggle games...

*smirk*

She and Anya had played board games over the summer. They had been new to the blonde, of course...but had been SO FUN.

Raising her hand, "Scrabble?" Was that the name of it? Thinking, she grinned. "...The one were you have to spell out words and keep adding new ones..." That had been her favorite, by far. Words were definitely her thing.

Having lived almost all of his life away from the muggle world, Eino really didn't know what would be classified as a 'muggle' game. So far all of the games people had suggested were games he had played at one point or another in the magical world, so he couldn't didn't know the different. Both muggles and wizards had a version of chess, and the only difference between them was that wizard chess had animated chess pieces, so he really couldn't believe that their games could be too different. "Umm, british bulldogs?" He said with his hand high in the air. Yes, it was a dog, but it was also a game. Hopefully muggles played that game, too.

Kennedy thought of all the board and card games he's played before. There were so many that he couldn't think of one specific. Hmm, sooo many choices. Finally deciding on one, he raised his hand. "A game I used play was UNO...a card game," he said, slowly so that the people that didn't know much about Muggles would hear him.

Really, Dallin should have dropped this class. It wasn't necessary for his sixth year and he was a muggleborn. Even this early into the class, though, he was reminded as to why he had chosen to come to this class, especially once he'd found out Cerulean taught it.

He looked around the room to each student that had answered so far. He knew a ton of games; his family had a whole closet full of games they never played anymore. Raising his hand, he said, "There's Yahtzee. It used to be my favorite. There's five dice, and you try to get different combinations of numbers." It sounded boring, but... the game had good memories associated with it.

"Well," said Nate, raising his hand, " there's Battleship, Sorry, Minesweeper, Scrabble, Monopoly in many varieties, Clue, and also card games like Blackjack, Poker, Bridge, and even Go Fish."

Honestly? Was Adam contradicting himself now? Kurumi merely shrugged her shoulders and returned her attention to the front of the room when class was continued. Her point had been made and Adam was angry at her for pointing out his slight lapse in logic.

Aaaaaaaaand now even more points were being taken from Gryffindor. Kurumi felt like she was a failure as a prefect. First three terms, her house was at the top and now it looked like they were going to be in the minus numbers by the end of the term. Merlin....

Now they were moving on to board games and Kurumi feel silent as people began describing games that, for the most part, she had never heard of. Well, she knew Monopoly, but not many of the others were ringing a bell. After a few moments, Kurumi raised her hand. “Professor, I grew up playing a game called Go,” she said wondering if she should really go into explaining the process of how to play. It was rather elaborate. “The game requires a lot of strategy and playing it can take hours.” Like when she had played with her brother Takashi. Six hours later and they still hadn’t decided a winner AND had missed dinner. “We also use the game pieces in Go to play Irensei.” She paused for another few moments thinking about what other games she had played. One more popped into her head. It was one that her father had made her and her siblings play to practice English at home. “There is also a game called Apples to Apples. It’s an association word game.” And downright hilarious at times.

Oooh muggle games?! August had about 20 different board games in his closet back at home. He was knew which one he wanted to talk about, maybe they could even get his mother to owl it to him sometime.

Another awesome point for the Muggleborns!

The Gryffindor raised his hand, "Professor, there's a game called Twister that you lay out a mat that has a bunch of different colored spots on it and then you spin a spinner that tells you to place your hands or feet on specific colored dots. You then get all tangled up with each other and try not to fall." he looked around the room to see if any others knew of this game, "It's really fun!"

Mia knew that wizards could not produce food but there were many other ways for them to get around that. They can duplicate what they have already for instance. She wanted to actually argue that point further but the Professor had already moved on so she shrugged her shoulders and let it go.

Instead she raised her hand to answer the next question. "Charades. It's where a person acts out a movie, book or song title and others have to guess it."

"Freeze tag," She raised her hand slowly. The prefect was sitting up front, and still had managed to miss the first question. But at least these had a million and one answers to give. Easing back in her chair, she listened to all the other answers given.

Minerva thought about all the games she use to play. "Professor well there are board games such as candy land, and then there are outside games such as Red Rover."

Tori smiled over at August and was about to say something to him when the professor started the class at last. Ooh. What WERE some games Muggles played?

"Um, Sardines? I think Muggles play Sardines. It's like, totes the reverse of Hide and Go Seek. One Muggle hides and everyone looks for him or her, and when they find him or her, they have to hide with 'em."

Louisa raised her hand enthusiastically, "Monopoly's a pretty known game, too. You try to buy properties and get taxes when other players step on them." She did play it with Jason and the girl from next door. What was her name again? Bleh, Louisa never liked her anyways.

Back to lesson. The girl had amused herself with the others' answers. It was really great how many students knew Muggles' games.. if Adam was here, he'd know a lot. Speaking of which, she glanced around looking for her friend.

Muggle games...great. Her knowledge of that came down to about...oh, one game. Unless she was mistaken, no one had shared that idea either. Her hand shot into the air. No, she wasn't that eager to answer. She just wanted to share the one Muggle game she knew before somebody else did.

"I've never played any Muggle games, ...and I really don't know anybody who has," she said. Well, unless you counted the people in class today... "...but I know our Quidditch is similar to their soccer. The players try to kick a soccer ball into this...net...thing. I guess it's sort of like our goal hoops. Anyway, they have keepers, too, but they're called goalies." Or something.

Isobel's hand shot up into the air. "There's soccer," she said. She considered it for a second, then amended her answer. "Well that's a sport, but I guess it's kind of a game." They had other kinds of games too, like board games and video games, but she didn't know any of their names. She knew a couple other sports too, like tennis because Jaymie played it. She wasn't sure if they qualified as muggle sports, because they weren't purely for muggles. Obviously not, since she played soccer. But nothing was purely muggle, so she supposed that didn't matter. The professor just wanted games that were mainly muggle, like soccer.

"Um ..." Oh no. Not again. Jez felt ignorant and undermined, just as she had in Divination! This wasn't good. Was she ... losing her touch?! Jez hadn't really expected to be exactly 'top of the class' in Muggle Studies, but she had read a lot on them ... games?! She hadn't read about them! She knew about paramedics, and police, and technicians, and ballet teachers, but not GAMES!
Jez realised she was breathing weirdly and tried to calm herself. This was what school was about - learning. She didn't have to know everything before she walked into the classroom.
But that would be helpful.
Jez raised her hand, trying to look composed and confident. "An example of a Muggle game is tennis, which is a sport where they hit a little ball with a bat-like stick - but not like a Beater's bat in Quidditch. And they have marbles, which are like Gobstones, I think, but without the squirting-goo-in-the-face thing." Not as detailed as she would have liked, but it was all Jez could do.

Kimalia smiled raising her hand, "Well, at my brother's place since he has some muggle friends they often play together on some Xbox T.V thing.. I think it's called Hey-Low Reach or something. Anyways, they pretty much shoot other people with a remote controller while communicating with his friends via some headphones while playing." Kimalia thought it was pretty funny to watch her brother yell at the T.V, it was only a game.

Faven thought back to all of the games she had played with family and friends, and tried hard to not say an answer that another student had already said. "Well Professor, a game that my family and I used to play all the time is Life. I'm not making a joke, it is honestly called that! It is basically what it sounds like. Your game piece and "characters" go through life from college/career to retirement. It is loads of fun!" Faven said, thinking back to happy afternoons spent playing with her parents.
