We are temporarily reviving our Children's Blog to provide some resources for families who are stuck at home during this period of social distancing due to COVID-19. We will put together a variety of activities for you and your families every day at 1:00 pm. Watch for weekend Boredom Busters on Saturday and/or Sunday. See which ones you can do, and if you get the chance, share the results with us on any of our social media platforms, which will be listed at the bottom of this blog.
Today's theme is DIY Board Games!
Memory: http://www.eatdrinkchic.com/post.cfm/diy-paper-popsicle-memory-game
You can use just about any materials or designs for this game. You can use regular playing cards and match numbers. You can draw your own shapes/images and glue them onto cut-out squares. The possibilities are endless!
Rain and Rainbow: https://mrprintables.com/rainbow-board-game.html
This game is similar to Snakes and ladders. You can print out the template, or use the idea to create your own theme.
