Readings and Writings for Parents and Smart Kids

If you are planning a kids birthday party at home and want to keep your budget low, you can still have an awesome and unforgettable birthday party.  Here are some great birthday party activities and ideas... These favorites are also great every time:

Kids Olympics - Events can include:

• Water balloon or egg toss - The players spread out, forming 2 lines, with teammates facing each other. They must toss a water balloon or egg back and forth, without breaking it. After each toss, the players who threw the balloons, take a step backwards. Younger players take shorter steps.
• Water relay race - players split into 2 equall matched teams. Each team sends one player at a time with a small cup of water, running while trying not to spill it...

If you see 4 or kids who are bored or zoned out.  Take two minutes to create Instant Detective Game and get them moving and thinking. For Free - No strings attached!

Instant Detective Game takes only 2 minutes to set up, a parent's dream come true.  Just type in the names of the players and print the game.  A clever crime solving mystery is created and each kid plays the role of both a detective and a witness to certain events.  The players then split apart and seek to trade clues with each other by asking questions such as "Where were you at 7pm?", and "Did you see anyone else there".  Each player's printed page is nicely organized with a list of witnesses (the players) and a grid for solving the crime.
