On this episode of The Middle School Mind podcast, we talk about tween gift ideas this holiday season with our own spin with wrong answers only. This is our attempt at sarcasm to talk about gifts parents and loved ones should NOT buy the tweens on their gift list this holiday season.

We rate these tween gift ideas on a scale of 1 to 5 empty presents, with 5 empty presents being a really bad gift and 1 empty present being a great, super useful gift.

Father and Son talk about the following tween gift ideas (wrong answers only):

Jojo Siwa’s D.R.E.A.M. Tour front row tickets and a meet and greet session
Underwear
Carpool and dinner for Son and his bully (or bullies)
Knock-off, bootleg products
Cameo video to your crush from your parents
Insult gifts
Invite least favorite teacher to celebrate the holidays with the family
Family members go way off your holiday wish list

We want to hear from you!

2.10 Madden Taught Me Football

5 Recommendations

On this episode of The Middle School Mind, we talk about how Son learned the basics of football by playing Madden NFL 22 on XBox One.

Many middle school students are not into sports and Son is one of them. However, many kids have to attend sporting events to support their siblings, friends and family. Son’s older sister is in the color guard at her high school and she performs during halftime at the home football games.

Rather than complaining about going to the games or sitting in the stands bored and not knowing what’s going on the field, Father bought Madden NFL 22 on XBox One to teach Son the basics of football.

Football is an incredibly complex game. Many people complain that there’s more standing around than action in the games. Using Madden as a teaching tool, Father was able to talk Son through the high level basics of football from offense to defense and run plays and passing plays.

On this episode, we talk about the following:

Son is not a sports kid
Madden video game taught Son the basic rules to football
We compare the video game with the actual game
Did Madden help Son appreciate the game?
Video games can be a good learning tool
Wii Sports is a classic sports tutorial for novices
