Finally the clouds have given us abundant rains, the same as we expected so much. Because (let's not fool ourselves) the bad weather can change our plans for Holy Week, but water is so necessary! how good worth trying to have fun although we can not lie on the beach or stroll through a historic center.
And I give you some simple and easy to prepare games for when you stay locked at home or in the hotel hall. Enjoying family rest is always pleasant and does not have to be conditioned to the color of the sky. This is our spring post this week.
You know that I am only going to give you some clues, the rest of the work you have to do, throw your imagination, your memories, what you want ... because you will surely find a way to entertain the children and relax a bit. Let's start with a classic valid for all ages, suitable even for kids with “rag tongue”, the 'I see I see'. It is played like this (remember?): First we will decide who starts with a dice or enumerating us until we reach 21 (it is clear that the game that is graceful with this number will start the game).
The person who directs the game looks at an object that is visible to everyone and without saying what it is says “I see, I see…”, the rest asks “what do you see?”, “A little thing that starts with 'l'. Lamp, book, letter, thief ?, blender, canvas. "You still don't give up? Don't tell me that I already know! What is the flashlight?" You've got it right, now it's your turn.
Now we are going to make it a little more difficult, and also more fun. The slogan of this game is “everyone has to think of a phrase that has a certain letter repeated, then we will all say that phrase but using an alternative instead. Example: instead of saying "we must throw the dice to see if the two comes out", we will state "we must throw the mados to see if the mos comes out". Actually what is intended is that we all get tangled up in our tongue and laugh a little.
And we can also try that the biggest teach the little ones to do Chinese shadows. Yes, I mean that it is difficult for parents to do when asked at night, even if it is very easy. A little darkness, a small source of light and a little ingenuity to try to imitate a butterfly, a dog, a fish or a bat. Remember to place your hands that mimic shapes between the light and the screen. Here are some models in case you have trouble getting started.
If you are at home, take out the parcheesi and the three in a row because you may need them. And whether you have stayed as if you are traveling, with some blank sheets and some pencils (of those that are always at the bottom of the bag) you can play "Draw without looking". First, the mother and father will look for handkerchiefs, turbans and ties that serve to gently cover the eyes of the participants. The one who runs the game is the only one who can use the view and will ask the rest (each one has a paper in front and a pencil in his hand) to draw a dog, a tree, a ball, a small house, a boat or a bird ... let's see what comes out.
And also with paper and pencils, more scissors we can cut pieces in the form of sheets and place them in the form of a family tree. We will write the names of the children, of their parents, grandparents have a place and perhaps you remember great-grandparents. It is an entertaining and beautiful activity that helps children to be within the family.
Remember that also jumps on the mattress, cushion fights, laps on the floor and prolonged hugs are worth. Have a good time.
And when you get tired of being locked up, go outside because the raindrops on your face feel very good ... nothing that can not fix a dry towel when re-entering.
