Writing and Drawing Games
Stuck at the airport (or in the car, or at a restaurant) with a restless kid and no toy? A pen and paper are all you need for tic-tac-toe, hangman, and these back-to-basics Game Boy alternatives:
- Silly Words
The Rules
Have your preschooler or kindergartner string random letters together to create "words." Your pronunciation of them will be addictively funny.
- Tag-Team Portraits
The Rules
You and your child take turns adding one feature at a time to what will undoubtedly end up being a rather bizarre-looking character.
- Pop Quiz
The Rules
Write 5 to 10 fill-in-the-blank-style questions ("My favorite food is..."; "I hate to eat...") for your child. Then hand them over and watch her dutifully complete the exercise.
