Here is a little tip for Works for Me Wednesday over at Rocks in My Dryer....
A simple and easy game for the tired mom, dad, aunt, uncle, grandmother, grandfather, friend, or babysitter!
A few weeks ago, we were walking out of Cafe Express after dinner, and I heard this mom counting to ten in a loud voice. Before I could see her, I assumed someone was getting in trouble. However, when we rounded the corner, I saw this mother of 4 counting to 10 - timing each child as they ran from one side of the fence to the other. All she had to do was sit & count -- and her kids were LOVING it and getting so tired. A win for everyone before bedtime!
After seeing this simple and genious game, I tried it...and my kids love it. Wherever you are - you can play this game...and kids will come running to join. On the playground, this has happened to me 3 times now where I practically had the whole group of kids running around the slide or sandbox. All the other moms watching love me for entertaining their kids & wearing them out! :)
Enjoy and have fun counting!

You think I can get my teenagers to play? ;)
Cute game!
Sounds good, but my backyard is so small I'd have to limit it to 3. :P
Just the kind of thing I need for my "bag of tricks!" (it was getting a little empty) ;-)
Great suggestion!
