Kids are full of
energy. We need to utilize this energy otherwise we have to face their tandav. During
this pandemic situation we all are locked out... restricted to four boundaries.
In this situation where will kids utilize their energy?
They
have
NO
SCHOOL
NO
EXTRA CLASSES
NO PARK TIME
NO FRIEND TIME
NO OUTINGS
Where will they utilize their inbuilt energy???
By now they are almost exhausted watching
their favourite cartoons. They can no longer sit steady at a place for a long
duration. There is in urgent need to outburst their energy.
What can we do as a parent???
We can have FUN time with them.
We can play GAMES.
Games are
always exciting for kids. Be it a pre schooler, grade schooler or even teen. They
enjoy playing games. You can double their enjoyment by making pairs if you have
more kids at home or can pair them up with an adult member in the house.
Grandparents would work wonders in this case.
In case
you have a single child or you leave in a nuclear family or you are a single
parent, still you can enthusiast your child by adding time factor to it (all
depends on the age and speed of the child).
Reward:
Winner gets a round of applause, score and rewards if any.
Requiement:
Now what
you require to play this game is just nothing.... just your energy would
be enough to play this. You can either make playing aids or can us your mobile
phone to share the same images mentioned here.
About the
Game:
- The game is divided into 5 rounds.
- Each round can be scored or rewarded (your wish). It can even be timed to increase the enthusiasm.
- In each round there will be a physical challenge as well as a brain tester.
- In
Physical Round the team or child has to be a hunter. He/She/They have to search and collect all
the things that are mentioned on the placard. The team whoever gathers all the
items first is the winner.
- In Brain Tester their mind will be bought in action. As there are no schools these days their mental skills are not tested much. So this is the time where we can activate their mental skills. A placard will be shown and they have to solve the same (can take help from the team member). Whoever solves it first will be the winner.
- Finally you will declare the results from the score board.

Variations:
- You can prepare a chit with name of one of the family member on it and then can ask the child to choose their own game partner. Once the team is formed, now you will open the chit that you have prepared earlier. The member’s name that appears on the chit, that team gets bonus score.
- In Physical Round if hunted things are kept back to its place they get bonus.
- If Brain Testers are solved all by themselves i.e. by the child alone they get bonus.
- Encourage the child to read the placard themself.
- Add a timer to the game, this will help them to be active, attentive, prompt and time bound.
- Can involve technology in the game i.e you have to answer all the rounds via whatsapp. In physical round you have to send pic of the collected items and in mental game you have to answer in text.
