So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Halloween Games for Children

By Russ D. Edwards

Trick or treating is just one of the activities you can do for Halloween. If you're throwing a party, you should have a few games so the children can have a good time.

the 1st game is named wrap the mummy. The target here is to see who can wrap The Mummy the swiftest. Since The Mummy might be quite enormous, it is best to group the participators in groups of 2. With the materials in hand, you tell them to start the instant you start the clock. Whoever finishes first wins a prize.

Next is the Great Monster Off. While most the kids come dressed to parties, tell your visitors not to so they can play this game. With materials that you'll be supplying them, the youngsters will make their own. You can then give awards for those that have the cutest, scariest, funniest and most creative outfits.

One of the more common games for youngsters and adults as well is Apple Bobbing. You again group the children in groups of two and after one kid bobs an apple, she or he has to do a certain task before the other member is in a position to do it. The one that finishes first will win the prize.

Since there will be water spilling on the floor, ensure that you have other adults other than yourself to supervise. Accidents do occur and this should be evaded when it is all about having fun.

Another Halloween game is named Wonder Brain which is very like musical chair. The only difference is that you don't have to sit down when the music stops as the participant gets eliminated just when the item is still in their possession.

the explanation why they call it wonder brain is really because you are letting them carry a fake brain. There are plenty of ways to try this and one example is by using some paper towels, a fridge bag and some red dye. The game begins when the youngsters form a circle. The brain is passed from one kid to the subsequent and when the music stops, whoever has it is out until the last person standing becomes the winner.

The kids can also play pumpkin toss. Here, you hang a large pumpkin on the ceiling with holes in the middle. The kid who is able to shoot the greatest number of rolls of socks or bean bags is the winner. To make it harder, award points for the eyes, nose and mouth. Who scores the highest number of points wins.

The last game is called Pin the Skeleton which is just like Pin the mule. The workings of the game are the same which includes blind folding that person. Since the skeleton does not have a heart, you've got to pin this onto it and whoever is able to do that successfully wins.

There are other Halloween games which you can plan for the kids. You can even make sure variations to those mentioned and still let them enjoy a fun filled activity. So before the party begins, make sure that you already have a program ready. It'll be a smart idea to have 4 or five games so everybody will be ready to participate instead of just watching from the sidelines.
