Here’s a fun and easy game to play with your children or grandchildren.
It’s also an activity I leave out for the babysitter.
What you need:
Any small snacks (cereal, candy, tiny crackers, peanuts, raisins)
1 piece of paper and a writing utensil
To do:
- On a sheet of white paper, draw a large grid – nine squares.
- Put a number on each square.
- Put a small snack on each square.
- Have ONE person leave the room.
- Have another person choose which square is “Pete.”
- Ask the person who left the room to come back. He or she eats one snack at a time. When they grab the snack that is “Pete,” everyone screams:
“DON’T EAT PETE!”
Their turn is over.
Repeat as many times as your kids are interested!
Parenting tip:
Are you having a hard time getting your kids to eat certain foods? Cut it into SMALL pieces and use it on the game board.
You can turn this game into LUNCH!
- Cover the game board with a piece of plastic wrap.
- Cut up small pieces of a protein of your choice, fruits, and vegetables.
- Play!
