5 ideas to have a fun time with children and laugh out loud
1. How naughty my parents were!
If the children love to see again and again the pictures in which their parents were small, imagine if they knew all the pranks that you played as children. Select your most sympathetic anecdotes and tell them to your children, while you eat popcorn in the living room or take a walk. Of course, choose to narrate the most innocent stories, always reminding them that you assumed the consequences of your actions. And, although in the end you stayed a month without dessert, your children will like to know that one day their dad dedicated himself to hanging puppets on the back of all the neighbors of the neighborhood or that, one afternoon that the grandmother had left, her mother he tried to cook a chocolate cake, he left everything lost and, in the end, he only managed to prepare a strange colored mass that ended up as food for the cat.
2. Laughs in the car
The journeys by car can become an unbeatable opportunity to share games and laughs with your children. For this, nothing better than to resort to such classic games as the "I see", for which only the eyes, the voice and the desire to have fun are needed. To encourage your children and remind them of the "I see, what do you see?" Tune, it is recommended that one of the popes begin by choosing the object of divination, which must always be in sight and be a known term even for the little ones Precisely, the age of children will sometimes force the first syllable of the word to be revealed as a clue, instead of the first letter. They will have such a good time that, when you arrive at your destination, they will not want to get out of the car.
3. Who am I?
Invite some friends of your children home and ask each one to choose a character that he likes or has fun, but warning him that they should not tell anyone whom they have chosen. Then, provide them with colored cards, paints, markers, glues and all the old clothes you find at home and ask them to make a costume to look as much as possible to the character they are going to imitate. When they have finished, sit them in a circle and, one by one, they rise up and imitate the character they have chosen. The others will have to guess who their friend is representing and, in the end, they will win the one they consider that they have done better and have been more original with their disguise. A lollipop to each one as a reward would not be bad to conclude this afternoon of laughter and fun.
4. Challenging holidays
Of the parents it depends that the next family vacations remain in a few days of recreation and rest or that they become an exciting adventure that the children will never forget. One way to achieve this is to gather them a few days before the game and propose to them to think surprising, new or a little crazy things that they would like to do during the holidays, to make a list of challenges that will have to be achieved during these weeks. Visiting a place where a sign says "The best in the world", "The only one in the world", or "The biggest in the world" or try a new fruit and a new sweet can be some of these challenges. Surely the unlimited imagination of children will help everyone to think many more.
5. Eat while having fun
Although the shortage of time may prevent you from stopping to cook a special dish every day, from time to time you can print a little fantasy and originality in the meals of the children, in order that these have fun while they feed .For example, you can turn hard boiled eggs into cute little mice that will delight children and ensure a healthy diet.
For four children, only four hard-boiled eggs, 25 grams of grated cheese, 25 grams of soft cheese, eight radishes and sixteen raisins are needed.
After peeling the eggs and splitting them in half, extract the yolks and mix them with the soft cheese and the grated until a fine paste is obtained. Fill egg whites and smooth the surface. Then, place them little down on the plate and, after making small incisions in the thinner end, introduce in them small slices of radish, which will make the ears. With two raisins in each egg the eyes of the mice will be obtained and with a piece of radish, the nose. To finish, the roots of the radishes will represent, placed on the other end of the egg, the tail of the rodents. The result will be very nice and the children will happily eat the egg mice.
