Family get togethers always happen around the holiday times.
I for one actually enjoy lazing and doing absolutely nothing but usually its
either visiting family or family visiting us. Either way you are bound to get
busy, either washing the dishes or cooking something for all to enjoy. There is
also the predicament of keeping the kiddies busy while the adults get cracking;
playing outside only lasts so long till someone comes crying about something.
The best way to keep them safe and entertained for a long
while is by creating games to play in the garden. Some of the games are
actually old classics which I, my mom and her mom before her enjoyed. I must
say it is easier to entertain a group of kids than just one kid. I’d find her
something to keep busy with and soon I’m joining in sometimes to my reluctance
due to chores or cooking. Even if she watches a movie on her own; it will be
mommy this-mommy that, come see Shrek, why this why that, to my dismay. Any
way I have accepted that saltderhe enjoys playing together and certainly not alone.

Here are some fun things to do during Easter holidays
1.
Hide and Seek(except you hide Easter eggs in
different place n whoever finds them can keep them)
2.
U play hop scotch with a bit of general
knowledge in there e.g reside fruits, veggies,
cars, colors etc
3.
Tug of War: Two teams pulling each side of the
rope the winning team gets to eat their Easter eggs first.
4.
Flying Ball: You throw the ball in the air and
call someone’s name while doing it and they have to catch it before it hits the
ground, they do the same till some-one drops it and they have to get some type
of punishment(not severe)
5.
Easterthon: They start by collecting sticks laid
out for them, then get as many apples from the water bucket into another empty
bucket using only their mouths. Then they have to carry an egg in spoon to the
last challenge whereby they have to wear a sack and run to the finish line,
first one to complete the challenge or gets furthest wins.
6.
Lastly the easiest classic game: Tag. Most kids
love this; I guess it tickles them because they laugh so much while trying to
run from their opponent.
Most if these games are fun and
can be done with adults if they are not for you then board games are also fun
e.g snakes n ladders, monopoly, chess and twister.
HAPPI EASTER-dont forget to buy eggs n edible paint n have fun with the kiddies.
