Fun, Educational Activities For Parents And Children

Children who receive lots of positive attention from the adults in their lives are more likely to develop a clear system of values and live a productive and satisfying life. Take a break from homework, housework, or wasting time and have some fun together! (There will be learning, too!)

Play A Game - Marbles


Here is a great game of accuracy that has been around a long time and will probably never go out of style.  To play this version of Marbles, you will need a flat playing surface large enough to draw a ring that is 10 feet in diameter.  (Of course, you can make the ring smaller if you are limited on space.)  You will also need 13 marbles to go in the ring and a shooter for each player.  (A smaller ring may mean fewer marbles.)

Here are the official rules for staging your own Marbles tournament written in 1931:
