We buy relatively old games ourselves, because they are available at much more affordable prices than newly released games and are also not so demanding on computer hardware and any relatively modern computer will be able to “deal” with them.
So you can play basically on any “potato”.

Classics

One of the classic games that we are starting and which currently costs under 1 Euro is Portal and Portal 2.
This game can also be played in pairs, but this requires two computers and two Steam profiles.
But in this case, when the game is under one euro, it is not a big deal.
The game is based on a portal weapon. The ability to create portals on specific surfaces that are interconnected. For example, if you make a portal in the ceiling and floor, you can fall through the portals forever.
In the game, you have to solve various puzzles to get out of the rooms. You have to turn off switches, move and reflect lasers.
An old but very good game.
In addition to the puzzles themselves, the game is accompanied by black humor, which, personally, I really like.

Why read books?

In everyday life, we use a relatively limited vocabulary. In one family, there are some expressions, in another family, there are other expressions, but everyday life does not require a very wide vocabulary.

Reading books is a way to expand your own and your children’s vocabulary, diversifying it. I myself did not read books as a child and now reading books is not in my top 10, but I listen to audio books when I drive or when I cook. So in the evenings I show an example and read a book to the children.

Sometimes we do it so that each of the children reads a sentence and then I continue until the end of the chapter.

If an unfamiliar word or expression appears in the text, the children themselves ask to explain what it means and how it can be used.

A story from life – while reading the adventures of Winnie the Pooh, the text contained the expression “to rack your brains”. This expression was used in conversation the very next day.

Where to get books?

If there are no books in the library itself, or there are no books appropriate for the child’s age, then the best way is to go to the public, local library and choose reading material together with the child.

Sometimes the book that you want to read to your children is not available in the library. Therefore, we enlisted the help of the world wide web and found both books on the website betterworldbooks.com.
In addition, in libraries, no matter which one, it is also possible to borrow DVD films and cartoons in your native language. We also use this, although it seems that we have practically exhausted this resource. If we ever buy a cartoon/film in Latvian ourselves (our native language), then after a while we also donate it to the local library – What is given returns to the giver. But the DVD era is closing to the end.

E-books

Once it was necessary to recall the events of the first chapter of “The Little Witch” in order to be able to ask questions about the events in this chapter, but we had already returned the book to the library.
We decided to search the Internet to find out if there were any e-books available.
He who seeks, finds. We found this great e-book resource, where books are scanned and available in Latvian for free. That`s no good for you, as you read this article in English. But probably there much more resources available for English readers.
To read e-books, you need a device and an application on which to open the downloaded e-books.
And, in this regard, nowadays there should be no problems, everyone has a potential device in their pocket with which to open e-books – a smartphone.
We ourselves use the Libera reader application, but this is certainly not the only application that can open digital books. Some of the e-books are also available in pdf format. which should be possible to open without any additional application. But we are satisfied with Libera reader and we like that the application is not overly intrusive with ads and the ability to increase or decrease the font is very useful.
