Gaming Nights

Gaming nights at the Honey Brook Library have been a great success!  Tweens and teens from ages 8-16 bring their own electronic devices or take turns using the Library's Xbox Kinect and IPad 2.

We provide snacks and drinks for the 2 hour program.  There is no structure.  The only rules are be polite and take turns.

The Xbox Kinect is great fun.! You don't use a hand held controller,  you just use your body and hands to control what is happening on screen.  These boys are playing the Star Wars game and using "The Force" to interact with the game.  We also have a sports game, and Wipeout 2.

Kids are also encouraged to bring their own Nintendo DS's.  DS's are cool because they can sense when they are near another DS.  Kids can then play a game against each other or with another person at the same time.

Finally we have our Library's IPad 2.  Kids can take turns using the apps that are on the IPad.  The top one right now is Minecraft.
