Gift Idea for a Large Family

Twister is an old favourite where kids try to compete for the prize of best contortionist and get laughs on the way.Giant snakes and ladders, drafts or chess enable kids to combine kinaesthetic activity with logic as they lounge across the floor or in groups. Or how about dressing up games which enable kids to role play? Cheap dressing up kits can be found to include five or so outfits on animal themes or occupations. Auntie’s or granddad's throw-outs will do just as well, such as scarves, hats or even wigs.

Dolls houses, castles or palaces make great opportunities for girls to pretend situations together using figures, furniture and other mini props.

Competitive games for boys can be found in target games such as darts or bulls-eye (the arrows having suckers, of course) although such games are best played outside or in the bedroom.
