Bob Swierczek, a United States Navy veteran, resides in Princeton, where he selflessly dedicates his time to various volunteer roles. He serves as a crossing guard for the police department, assists as fire police for the fire department, reads to kindergarten classes, and organizes trips to Washington, D.C. for fellow veterans.

After several years of being in GrandPals and thinking of things to do other than reading, this year I decided to play some games with my Pals.

So after a few books and about ten minutes left in the session I started to play some games. First we did “Simon Says,” the next week “I Spy” and several more games as the weeks went by. This week we did “Password” and the kids got kick out of it. At first I came up with the word and gave them clues and after a few trys they would guess the word. We needed more than ten minutes since they really got into the game.

GrandPals is just not about reading with them, it’s about having fun with them.
