On Sundays we always eat a nicer dinner. But this Sunday we had so many leftovers I couldn't bring myself to make more food. So I came up with this idea. First I made my kids go play. Then I would put a different leftover on each plate, and wrap it in foil. I would also put a different drink in each cup and wrap in foil. Then I wrote a number on the foil. When all the plates were ready I called the kids in. I turned on some Halloween music (because its Halloween). When the song stopped I would pull a number out of a hat. Whoever was in front of that number got to sit down. When everyone had a plate, we all unwrapped our food. Everyone was surprised. Did everyone love what they got? Probably not. But they were so excited about the game that they didn't care. Also all my kids begged to do this every holiday. My husband and I laughed, because we really just wanted to get rid of leftovers. Anyway this is your idea for today! I think this would also be fun at lunchtime. Do different sandwiches on eat plate, etc.
I have a degree in Early Childhood Education and have taught preschool for many years. I have now quit to spend my time raising my children. Over the years I have found many great websites that help parents and kids learn. Then last Summer in order to catch up my daughter, I started this blog in search of material to use for Summer school. So I decided that I would make a blog that listed all the links and had ideas occasionally that would be fun to do with children of all ages. I think that this will be really fun and I hope you all take time to enjoy it!If you have any websites that you think would be good for this site, or you want to make a comment or submit an idea, just put it in the comment section!Thanks!
