Where in the World
Let’s have some fun. Did you know Skool has a map feature? You can pin your location, don’t worry, it’s not exact! Why not check our community map and see if there’s someone near you. It’s always nice to be able to share ideas and maybe play dates. Now, let’s have some fun amongst ourselves. Share: 1. Something that makes your town unique 2. A unique food or event for your area 3. What the weather is today

The birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots :) An annual jousting tournament I'm not sure - because I'm off on holiday :)
New Game Idea I'm Testing
Who would like to be a beta tester? This is a pen and paper game, and you would need to print it out. I've just discovered a phone game called, "Crozzle" it's a cross between acrostics, crossword puzzle, and scrabble. I thought it would be fun to create monthly game packs with new themes each week and playable with toddlers but each puzzle gets more challenging to keep teens and adults engaged, too. Here's one puzzle. I'll post the answer key tomorrow. What do you think? Should I continue or is this a meh? Would you play? What would you change? What would you keep? Tagging a few of my game people here: @Gus Gray, @Evelene Sterling, @Blue Mojo, @Michelle Fuentes, @Adam Formanek, @Sharon Otaguro

It took me a wee while to get it all without printing it - having to hold all the words in your head is maybe part of the challenge :)
LeaderBoard Shout Out!
Are you motivated by the Skool leaderboard or is it a ho-hum thing for you? I personally waffle on weather or not I find leaderboards helpful. However, I as a community owner, the leaderboard is a wonderful way to keep our community members engaged and recognize those who have been active inside the community. So, drumroll please as we recognize our Connected Through Play Top 10.Here's something very cool, 5 out of our Top 10 will also be hosting sessions at the #Unplug & Play event in August. Can you guess who? This month's leaderboard is absolutely ON FIRE! 🔥 #1 @Sandy Chong — Crushing it as our sourdough baker extraordinaire, and holding strong at #10 all-time! #2 @Paulette Ng e Ng — Building incredible creative connections from the UK and making her mark! #3 @Jen Staniforth — The pediatric sleep specialist bringing 20 years of wisdom AND sitting at #6 all-time! #4 @Anna Murrietta — Designing a life of freedom and purpose after 25+ years of corporate leadership! #5 @Celia Kibler — Helping parents raise calm, confident kids and ranking #7 all-time too! #6 @Cristal Vancarson — LA photographer helping everyone show up powerfully on camera! #7 @Evelene Sterling — Cancer Thrivers owner and Skoolyard admin bringing the gardening and sewing vibes, plus #4 all-time! #8 @Sharon Yeh — Guiding cellular healing with science and soul! #9 @Gus Gray — The Lightwright helping you create a career that lights you up, and our #2 all-time legend! #10 @Paula Artis — IT instructor and ordained minister sharing 20+ years of expertise! Who's ready to climb the board next month?

The leaderboard only really makes sense in a community when there is something attached to it - I'm in a few communities where the 7 or 30 day leaderboard contributes to a specific reward at set points. But in most communities it doesn't matter at all.
Good morning, Unpluggers!
Day 2 starting line. How's everyone feeling? If you tried something yesterday and it went sideways, remember that's not a loss, that's a Beautiful Failure bonus waiting to be claimed. Document the wreckage and post it. If you haven't started yet, no stress. Today is a great day to knock out something quick. The Floor is Lava and The Kid Has Left the Building are both fast, low-lift, and ridiculously fun for the under-8 crowd. Feeling ambitious today? Trash to Treasure and the Free Little Library are bigger builds that pair well with a free afternoon. Two days down, two to go. Let's see what Day 2 brings. Drop your progress below, even a half-finished tower counts as momentum.
Good morning, Unpluggers!

We had great intentions for doing some of the activities this afternoon, but once we got out in the garden we just had so much fun with the sticks, branches, leaves, water and mud that were there that we didn't even get to any of the activities. But I'm still taking it as a win for the kids to be out in the garden for a couple of hours!
2 Days! Are You Ready?
Two days. In two days this community is going to do something that has never been done in exactly this way before. Families on multiple continents are going to build towers out of things that should not be towers. They are going to write encouraging notes to strangers. They are going to invent sports that have never existed. They are going to put children in charge of things and see what happens. The Kid is ready. The dragon shirt has been pressed. Are you in? Drop a reply below so I know who's showing up to the starting line. June 19. The Grand Unplugged. Let's go.

Have I missed the noise around this one!? Building stuff out of other stuff that is not stuff for building stuff is a favourite of our children!
