Beat the Clock
Materials:
- Egg timer
- paper or plastic cups
- paper plates
- common household objects
Time flies—especially when your kids are trying to see how many paper or plastic cups they can stack before an alarm goes off.
Break out your egg timer and try these:
- Stack-a-thon: See how many cups your kids can stack, placing a paper plate in between each, before the timer goes off. Then have everyone do the stacking with his or her eyes closed.
- Bop-a-thon: Make up a rhythm and see how many times each person can clap it off before the clock strikes zero.
- Sort-a-thon: Divvy up a collection of small items, then call out the category by which they are to be organized (for example, square, hard, smooth).
- Sort of a Sort-a-thon: Suggest a tongue twister (like "sort of a sort-a-thon") and see how many times your kids can say it without tripping over the words within the specified time.
