Children need a little roughhouse play and gentle wrestling to help them develop emotionally and mentally. Blowing off some steam can help them regulate their emotions and learn to express themselves in healthy ways. Roughhousing and silliness actually lights up parts of the brain that will make children smarter. They learn how to interact with people socially and manage their impulses.
This book is full of silly games and fun things to try with your children. You can play the floor is lava, make a fort out of pillows, or be a monster chasing them through the house. You can build an obstacle course outside, choreograph a pretend fight scene for a movie, or have a water balloon fight!
These games are so imaginative and cute! Some of them involve more physical activities like running and jumping or picking up the child to fly them around the room, but there are plenty of activities that are perfect to do sitting down together if you are not very physically strong. There is something for everyone to try, no matter your age or abilities.
I really like that the games are illustrated, so that you can easily see what to do. The instructions are simple and clear, and I like the art style of the illustrations.
I'm so excited to try some of these games with my nieces! I think they will love it!
