are bored you look boredom of your children, because they play boring games?
send you emails children to tell them it's bedtime?
When you decide to spend your weekend in Puncak or Pelabuhan Ratu, do they keep asking, "Are we there yet?"
If you answered "yes" to any or all of the above, perhaps it is time to reconnect as a family circle and communicate face-to-face.
When you were a child, you did not the Internet, let alone smart phones. unless you have lived in a war zone, the world was a safer place and you had a park or in the street to play with your friends. you have probably played society or cards in the homes of each other, instead of hyperspace. Then there was paper and pencil games.
the rules are made to be broken!
None of the following activities have set rules, but you should think about space and rules to avoid breaks ornaments and members. The basic idea behind all these games is to communicate. Nobody must win or you will have a bunch of losers. However, if you think someone needs a confidence boost, then faking the "rules" so that he / she ends up feeling better. If your teenagers think that games are "too childish" and bring out your own inner child so they will be less shy!
words There
Many years after climbing to the peak of Gunung Batur in Bali, my son and I headed for the Lovina beach where I offered a massage given by a dumb old woman who was walking behind me. That lingers longer in my mind that the pain was that we communicate very well. She said: "When I was a child, I was a good dancer"
Yes, we communicated in the language of the body, with some recognizable gestures
.. Mime messages
similar to Charades (guess the title of the book or the movie), mime said nothing. - but it is allowed to laugh Whoever tells mimic the exact phrase gets a point and then takes the stage to mimic another sentence involving a lot of movement
. for example:
- Excuse me can you give me directions to Monas .?
- I wash my hair. Can you answer the phone, please?
- There is an ink stain on your shirt / blouse under the left armpit.
on the Road
Here are some ideas for when you all tired of playing I-Spy or counting the number of people on motorcycles were not wearing helmets. No equipment outside the gray matter is necessary.
Shopping list
You start: "I went to the store and bought a can of beans (eg.)."
next person says "I (. eg) went to the store and bought a box of baked beans and a bar of soap "
in turn, everyone repeats:" .. I went to the store ... "and adds an item to the list
thirty years, I joined a group who traveled by road from London to Marrakech in Morocco. It was a very long journey, and I can still remember the "Tin tempera"!
Alphabet Soup
A-Z of topics
For example. Fruits: A is for apple, B for banana, C is for ....? And so on.
Other subjects: places, vegetables, colors, animals, etc.
"Grannie do not like T ...
... so, what can we give it up?"
Chocola t e is a wrong answer, as wa t er.
However, cacao and coffee are good answers because they do not include the letter 't'.
Try other topics.
Word Chain
The last letter of a word, or the last two letters for a more literate group, becomes the first letter of the next. for example. gam E lephan T rai N ... or ga ME a NT . Anyone who repeats a word or can not go - and no word begins with NT - is 'boinged'. Keep score.
outside
If you have a garden, fine, but if not, or if it rains, most carefully following items can be adapted to fit the space available inside.
But not a good fight water !
'Sports Day'
Rules in official sports are changed very regularly, so feel free to adapt each time and however you like. Think of variations between tennis and badminton, or hockey and cricket, volleyball and sepak takraw .
How about football or a leg to bats and balls of crumpled-up newspaper? Try throwing flops in a bucket, long distance jump, reverse relay races, decision paper plane and throw for distance or the nearest target.
Treasure Hunt for 'found objects'
These could be alphabetical, things that all begin with a letter, or type, for example. empty jamu bags, water bottle labels (I'm still looking for the brand 'Wet' once spotted in Tomang.)
Build a den
A table covered with old sheets will. You can also buy a tent not expensive; they can often be purchased along a road in Jakarta. Dens can be used as rewards, as "sin bins", a magic castle, a time machine ...
or a museum to display collections of, say, shells or found. Or exhibit space for works of art, perhaps sculptures made from found objects.
Remember to have fun
