We did that with my son. He was probably five or six when we went to visit his cousins and they were all laying on the floor playing with their portable game devices (whatever they called GameBoy's back then). He didn't have one, so he picked up a travel chessboard that was about the same size as their devices and laid down next to them and stared at the chessboard the way they were staring at their devices and pretending he was playing a video game on it. Yeah, we bought him a nintendo whatever-they-were-called when we got home.
