Let's imagine we're told we'll have another confinement, this time with the kids at home ( Humor, but, you and I know we're lawiiin to be safe from a RE-re-re-confinement)! In this eventuality, there are 2 ways to deal with such news: hide in a cave that the kids aren't likely to find. Or prepare a list of activities and games to do when you're bored, to keep your little ones occupied while you're having fun as a family.
At KidleeIf you're not sure what to do, we suggest you go with the second option. Even if the idea of hiding for 2 or 3 weeks is very tempting, there is a risk that they will find you after the first ten minutes. Therefore, you might as well play it safe. And we've prepared a few ideas for games so that no one gets bored at home.
Games when you're bored: 2 activities to amaze your audience
Race in the water
Did you know that you can create a fake river with nothing? All you need is some aluminum foil and water.
First, you need to cut the aluminum to the length you want your river to be. Once this is done, you have to fold the edges on both sides so that the water doesn't sink once poured. Now that everything is ready, all that's left to do is put little floating figures in the river and blow on them to win the race. As an alternative to floating objects, you can simply use a cork.
A game of tennis in the living room
Don't worry, this idea won't ruin your living room. For this, you will need two plastic plates, two sticks and an inflatable balloon. You'll want to start by gluing each stick to the back of the plate to get the rackets. On the other hand, the ball will act as a ball. So here you go, may the best man win!
All together!
Keeping the little ones busy is great! But having a good time all together as a family, young and old, is even better.
