On Games: Impromptu Twister

What to do with 3 bored children and 1 multicolored rug? Why not play an impromptu game of twister? That's just what we did one day and it was a big hit. Not only were we working on learning non-primary colors (ie. sage green, rust, navy blue, and cream) but we challenged ourselves physically, practiced coordination, and had fun to boot! It started with my randomly calling colors and body parts and ended with the four of us on the floor in fits of giggles.

My job is often overwhelming, stressful, and demanding, but I am thankful for the days that I have random bouts of inspiration that lead us to fun-filled and educational activities. Sometimes the best ideas come from an everyday item to which you never gave a second glance.
