How to Play:
When my children were growing up, we always had play-time every day, even if it was only for a few moments. We'd dance, laugh and try to make silly rhymes. The whole point for me was to get them laughing and learning to appreciate each other. We'd turn on the radio and as soon as an up-beat song came on we'd boogie around the coffee table chasing each other. It had to last the whole song too. We'd try to out-do each other with the silliest moves and poses. When taking car trips we'd play with rhymes and anagrams. We'd take the street name at any red light we stopped at and try to rhyme with it - it can be a bit challenging at times.
Notes:
Car games were for when they got a bit older, but the dancing games we did all the time until it wasn't cool to be hanging with Mom and acting goofy
