Ah, childhood. When we spent all day running around, drinking juice boxes and playing games. Games ... remember when you still had time for those? From Tag, to Go Fish, to the wide array of board games. These were games of strategy, luck, competition, and surprisingly, lessons. When you look back at some of the games you played, you can see the important lessons that were hidden among their layers of fun. They might even be lessons we need to remind ourselves of today...

1. Candy Land

Some people are really sweet, but don't trust everyone you meet.

2. Sorry

Sometimes you'll be on the path to success, and something out of your control will happen that sets you back to where you started. Keep trying, you still have a chance to win.

3. Life

Kids are expensive.

4. Chutes and Ladders

Life is full of ups and downs.

5. Operation

Sometimes you need to be very careful...

6. Monopoly

You might lose some friends along the way if money is your top priority.

7. Guess Who

It's hard to be a girl when girls are underrepresented.

8. Trivial Pursuit

Intelligence doesn't always come from schooling.
