OK, I need a name for a playbook. Check it out.
In the game (Np) you’re playing kids, 8-11 years old. The playbooks are broken out by the boxes that adults put kids in, so the Sporty Kid is the kid that plays one or more sports and is good at it. (Whether they see themselves as fitting that box isn’t the point.)
One of the playbooks I tentatively titled the Nerdy Kid, but that’s not really what I mean. This is the kid that’s good at school. They’re smart, sure, but they win awards for academics or attendance or chess club. They’re good at following rules and rolling with the system of school.
Nerdy Kid doesn’t really encompass what I want, and it’s too close to Geeky Kid (which is the kid that’s obsessed with mythology or superheroes or whatever). “Smart Kid” isn’t quite right, either, because it’s not about smart per se.
Thoughts?
Obedient Kid.
Studious Kid.
Goin’ Places Kid.
Ambitious Kid? Straight-A Kid?
Perfect Kid
Farsighted Kid
Mature Kid
Preppy?
The Teacher’s Pet
The Teacher’s Pet is probably ideal unless you are wedded to the “Adjective Kid” naming convention.
Honors student
(I remember seeing the ‘My kid is an Honors Student at XYZ”, bumber stickers)
Responsible
So grown up
Brainy Kid, also
I like Honors Kid too
Honor Student is good. Four-eyes miiiight work. Brainiac is another possibility.
Future Leader
Future Entrepreneur
etc
Good kid
That’s one I often hear from my daughter when talking about some of the kids in her class. Good Girl/Boy, to be honest.
Teacher’s Pet and Straight-A Kid sound right to me as well.
Young genius !
Honors Student hits a lot of good buttons.
Know-how kid? Solver kid? Mind kid or brain kid?
The Book or Book-smart kid? I kind of like the titles that allude to but don’t describe too much.
Honors Kid is pretty awesome, actually. I think I’ll go with that for now.
Thanks, everyone. I expect I’ll be back! 🙂
