We've even gone as far as to combine it with Simon Says. Yeah Ty loves Red Light/Green Light. We’ve even gone as far as to combine it with Simon Says.

It is kind of hard since we don't have a group, we tried duck duck goose not too long ago and used teddy bears as filler. It was actually pretty fun, every person had a bear "partner" if your partner got tagged you had to run with them. I'd like to hear that christmas song some day, lol. Great ideas Deborah.

Its gr8 for lazy parents!!!! It was called "Save the Planets". You, the parent get to sit on the couch, chair or whatever while your child runs back and forth trying to catch one of those big oversized colorful balls while u yell out random things. The object is that he/she must catch the ball as u yell out something and if he/she drops the ball, or does not catch it, the object yelled out is destroyed or broken. The broken or destroyed object can be revived with the next throw if the ball is caught. We used planets, so the child understood that they were solely responsible for saving the planet earth from being destroyed if they dropped the ball. When the ball is caught, the child throws it back to u and u start over again. It was lots of fun!! But Ty is younger, so u can yell out things that mean something to him, like his toys etc. U get to sit down and throw the ball while your child goes crazy running back and forth trying to catch the ball without dropping it. But make sure u have a LOT of running room for your child. This is also a gr8 way for the child to burn off some of that energy with all the running. U can use a smaller soft rubber ball if it is more convenient. Well my favorite was a simple made up game that we played. Its gr8 for lazy parents!!!! It was called “Save the Planets”.

I also made up songs like you have already shown that you can do. I still remember them and they are so wack beyond belief. I was making Christmas decorations one time and the candy cane fell behind the entertainment center and I made a song about that. Four square is fun. Which can be condensed to two square. You have chalk so now all you need is a ball. Tag is cool. I have worked at a camp, but all the games are for a group of kids. Good luck with your childhood game quest. .-= Deborah´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BlackUnlimited/~3/cjwCWtvWjAs/" rel="nofollow">*Theatre Spotlight* – Enoch King – At The Theatre</a> =-.

I definitely thought it was cute when Tre joined in. It was just too funny not to sit back and laugh. I always enjoyed the game of Simon Says & hide and seek when I was a child but Ty isn't ready for hide and seek yet. We tried that already and he just hides in the same place that you hid in. Then when you start looking for him, he starts laughing & saying I'm right here. Please people give us more children games!!!!!
