Christmas Game and TV Specials
*** I have now created another listing for the 14th to the 22nd. Please have a look at the following post for the information: http://www.ottawafamilyfun.com/archives/153.
My daughter brought home some SK “math homework” a few days ago it turned out to basically be a game of snakes and ladders. We played 9 games while we waited for supper to be ready. She practiced her adding and we had a great time playing the game. I got to thinking about it and have been trying to think of a little game for the holidays from OttawaFamilyFun.com. So, I made a custom “Christmas Rush” game for everyone to download. It is just snakes and ladders, but what the heck, write on it and make it as complex as you want.
Get some of the kids Fisher Price “Little People” and use them as player pieces and grab a die from somewhere in the house. Basically it is a quick game you can play while you are waiting for the Macaroni and Cheese (or some other meal you swore you would never feed your children when they were still chewing on their socks and you could make them smile just by making a funny noise.)
To download the game, just right click on “The OttawaFamilyFun.com Christmas Rush Game” and save the PDF file to your computer and print as many copies as you like.
There are plenty of Christmas Specials coming up on TV this month. Here is also a run down of what is on and when (For a PDF of the listing click here):
