It's that time of the year again. Christmas. Shopping. Eating. Merry making. Meeting Family. Photo ops. Reminiscing about times gone by. Playing games. Going on walks. Playing with the kids. This is a time for relaxation.
Shopping can be difficult, especially for kids. Many kids have played a variety of games and it's hard to surprise them. Here are three games, kids will enjoy:
1. Jumpstart Junior
This is a subscription based game. This age group has always been a big fan of Jumpstart games. Younger children love spending time with Botley and Ivy, the fairy.
2. Lego Dimensions Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Story Pack
This is an extension pack for the Lego Dimensions video game. There is some violence, but it's the garden variety cartoon types. They can play with other characters in the game, but it might require some purchases.
3. Mousetrap
This old fashioned game is great for younger kids. The idea of building something through the game is hugely satisfying. Children are enthused to build the colorful trap.
Active Games
Having said all this, it is also important to remind parents that kids need to play something active. When the weather also does not cooperate, it's harder to make the day an active one. The trick is to keep games simple. Games like Twister work very well. If you don't have a mat, it can be drawn on the floor.
Indoor scavenger hunts could be made active. There could be things under furniture or in overhead cupboards. If the weather is good, you could include parts of the outdoors. This scavenger hunt site is very useful It even has printables. All video games and no play will make our Jacks and Jills dull people.
The trick is not hold back in play. Both parents and kids should be fully involved.
Wrap up
To sum up, Christmas can be a time of eating, having fun and all the rest of it. But try and make it active. If you cant play, go out for a nice walk. make foot steps in the snow and get the kids to follow, play music and dance until you are drop dead tired.
