About this project

http://thunderblunders.com

It's time to self-publish the first in a series of age-appropriate Thunder Blunders® games and books. (Please see website for more complete descriptions.)

The very best game publishers have seriously considered publishing Thunder Blunders®, but because there's nothing like it (impossible to believe, since there's such a powerful need for it), they get 'cold feet' at the last minute. I have received advice from 'people-in-the-know,' that once the first game is in the market, gaining traction, the game companies will come to me. Much better position to be in, obviously.

All art work is complete. I've located a local green printing establishment (non-toxic inks, etc.) who will print and manufacture the game. I'll distribute to preschools, kindergartens, Sunday schools, after school facilities. (Results of many, many tests in a variety of classrooms: Teachers love it. Kids are fascinated and actually ask their parents to buy it. For real!)

Nini White

Straightpin Sausalito, CA

Nini White is the mother of 2 sons who’ve been inspiring her and making her laugh since the days they were born. When, in their early years, she attempted to increase the boys’ social and life skills, it became stunningly clear that what she (like all parents) wanted them to understand was not going to be convincing if their schoolmates and friends weren’t “on the same page.”

Nini had several years experience assisting college professors with curriculum design, development and delivery, so she reasoned that creating a curriculum around social and life skills for young students was do-able. She simply had to make every lesson lively, fun, relevant, lively, full of variety, age-appropriate, lively, interactive, respectful of the children’s intelligence, lively, etc., etc., and etc. ... to keep all the students, including her sons, fully engaged.

Happily, her classes were a big hit with the 1st and 2nd graders (as well as their parents who were noticing positive long-term effects). After about 3 months Nini created and began presenting lessons for all the grade levels up to 12th, with equally positive effects (in spite of the upper school students’ initial resistance).

Thunder Blunders® games and books were created (and tested in over 50 various classrooms) to effortlessly enable all students, all teachers and all parents to enjoy similar positive experiences.
