Basketball Name Game

I tried playing Pig with Westley before, but getting letters when you missed the basket and spelling a word means you lose didn't make perfect since to him.
I thought about just playing the opposite with Pig or Horse, but thought it would be better to pick a word that had more meaning to them, and that Westley knew how to spell.
So Westley and Will played this game together with me guiding them - helping Westley keep track of the spelling, and teaching Will how to take turns. They shot a basket and when they made it they got to add another letter to their name. Having Westley's name a little longer worked well. He won, but on Will's next turn he made his basket and finished spelling Will.


We will definitely play this one again.
