IDEAS & POSSIBILITIES: Household Olympics
*The crowd gets quiet*
The coffee filter is rocking...one side...to the other... It's floating down! Is it going to hit the target??? (the announcer asks no one in particular)
Still going...down toward the basket... It's almost there............
Ohhhhh!!!! (*the crowd winces and grabs their head with both hands, hiding their eyes*) It missed the basket at the last minute! What a tough break for Team Coffee Filters!
Ok...yes, I've been watching too much Olympics over the last few days.
But it made me think of something...what kind of Household Olympics can you and your children come up with?
The kids get to have fun and you will as well, knowing that by creating their own Olympics they will be recycling, using critical thinking and problem solving skills, testing out principles of physics, stimulating their imagination, and tapping into their Logical-Mathematical and/or Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligences!
Tell us about your Household Olympics! Video them and show us some of your videos!
