Just off the coast of mainland USA, cradled by the Pacific Ocean, lies the rainbow state of Hawaii, a chain of tropical islands that’s as colorful as a peacock’s tail. Its kids are as jolly as Jolly Roger, the world’s only surfing panda! Roger isn't your typical panda. He sports a pair of neon yellow boardshorts, can balance a coconut on his nose, and has an infectious laugh that sounds like a walrus hiccupping through a saxophone. In Hawaii, when the sun dips behind the horizon and the sea turtles settle down for a snooze, the kids trade their surfboards for board games. They gather around, under the flickering light of a hundred fireflies, their eyes twinkling brighter than the star-studded Hawaiian sky. Clad in their most comfortable pajamas, they sit cross-legged on the beach, their sandy toes wiggling in anticipation. There’s the thrill of races in Candyland, the strategic battles in Chess, the hilarious miscommunications in Telestrations, and the wild pandemonium of Monopoly. Each roll of the dice or flip of a card echoes with laughter and squeals of delight. Competitive, yes, but all in good fun. After all, there's no room for sore losers in the Aloha state! In this magical land where palm trees sway like hula dancers and the air smells of sweet pineapples, board games are not a pastime, but a tradition. It’s a spectacle as enchanting as watching Jolly Roger ride a mammoth wave on a moonlit night. So, the next time you're in Hawaii, forget the usual luaus and leis. Join the kids in a thrilling game of Pictionary or Battleship. Who knows, you might even get to play against our surfing panda!
