Games Before Bedtime

After dinner we okayed some games before bed. Alycia broke the group into two teams and lined them up facing each other. Each line had to close their eyes and hold hands.

Alycia was at the head of the lines holding the hands of the first person of each line. Charlie was at the end of the lines holding a spoon.

There is no talking and remember, the kids have their eyes closed. Alycia would squeeze the hands she was holding at the same time. Once you felt a squeeze, you would then squeeze the hand of the next person until the squeeze was passed to the last person, who could then open their eyes and grab the spoon.

The first person who grabbed the spoon would move to the front of the line and everyone would shift down. The game is won when one team gets back to their original order.

The kids liked it. A good bit of fun before bedtime. 🙂

Tomorrow (Tuesday morning for us, Monday afternoon for California), we head back to the Australia Zoo for more service work and a surprise for the kids!Read more
