Celebrate Your Senses

Every kindergartner learns about the five senses.  But how many kids truly appreciate their senses?  Heck, how many adults give gratitude for having all their senses intact?

Talk to Your Parents

Parents ask their children lots of questions.  After all, most kids don't talk about their days in great details.  Well how about changing up the roles and having the child ask the parent questions.

Fancy Fruit

Bananas, apples and oranges.  Most kids have tried these fruits.  But what about all the other, funnier looking fruits you see at the supermarket?  Every now and then, treat yourself and your family to a fancy fruit.  It's fun and a great learning/tasting experience.

Hotel Hunt

Through the eyes of a child, hotels are magical places.  There's an indoor pool, elevators, and long hallways to run down.   And to make the experience more magical, consider adding a “Hotel Hunt” into the mix. 

School Year Review

Some parents journal with pen and paper, and some journal on the computer.  How about journaling through video and letting your subject(s) tell the story?  At the end of every school year, consider letting your child talk about the past year.  Then, once they graduate from high school, they will have a living history of their school years.  

Yellow Car

Whether you're a driver or a passenger, shuttling around town isn't always fun.  But there are ways to stay entertained without relying on the in-car entertainment system.  "Yellow Car" is easy to play and fun for all ages. 

Would You Rather...

The dinner table is where families have some of the best together time.  Parents learn about schools, friendships, etc.  And sometimes, it's a place to have a little fun while you eat.  "Would You Rather…" gives children the opportunity to be silly and creative while eating at the same time.

Doing for Others

Children are accustomed to having things done for them so it can be a challenge to teach your kids the value of doing for others.  Sometimes something as simple as caring for grandma's cat can serve as an example.

Fairy Tale Reenactments (take 2)

Children love fairy tales and they also love pretending. One way we connect with our children is to reenact their favorite fairy tales. They take turns being the good guys and the bad guys. They get to play and spend time with each other. Try playing out YOUR favorite fairy tale with your family tonight.
