Games to play with someone paralyzed...?

Question

Ideas? He only plays scrabble - has all his and his mom's pieces on the table and he tells her what word to spell and where to put it. He only has a little movement in his hand, so he can't do anything. Any game ideas to help pass the time? (Besides chess)

Answer 1

Eye to Eye ®

Seeing the Same Never Looked So Different!

Ice-cream brands? Things that squeak? How closely do you see Eye to Eye with others? Read a category card and write down three answers. If your answers match at least one other player, you're safe! If you don't match another player, you collect a scoring cube. The player with the fewest cubes is the winner!

Answer 2

I looked through my game closet and came up with a couple of ideas that might work.  

Connect Four - He could tell his mom where to put his chip.  

Sorry - His mom could flip over the card for him and then he could tell her which piece to move.

Any trivia game - She could ask him questions and move the piece for him and then she could hold the card in front of him for him to read the question to her.  

I hope some of those games will work.

Chess* (look up bug house).  Draughts (like checkers, but serious), Backgammon, Mancala (sp?), any card game.
