There have been and will be many days when I need the girlies to entertain themselves. With help from many lists I found online and activities I know my girls love to do, I have created a list of activities to cure those summertime blues. The favorites so far: making your own newspaper, taking pictures and playing the name game.
Rules for the Name Game:
Write a famous person's name on a piece of masking tape. Don't let the player see the name. Tape it on either the player's back or forehead. After everyone has a name you begin youngest to oldest and ask a yes-or-no type question to help you figure out what name is on your forehead. With kids I like to have them ask a question and then you also give them a hint. This way the game goes quickly enough for those with short attention spans. The first person to guess their name wins. We've had lots of giggles while playing this.
