Quality Time  

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!)

Materials needed

• Paper bags, one for each player
• A scoop of dry macaroni in each bag
• A wooden clothespin, one for each player.

Place the paper bags on the floor and put a scoop of dried macaroni into each bag to help them stay upright.  Players hold the wooden clothespin between their teeth so that the clothespin can be opened and released without using any hands.

With bags on the floor and clothespins ready, all players must balance on one foot.  At the shout of "Go" players try to clamp the clothespin onto the paper bag and pick it up.  The first to pick up the bag without using any hands and keeping only one foot on the floor is the winner.

Play another round.
