Let the kiddies play...

First, I want to apologize for not posting yesterday. I have been sick and still not up to par, but will try to get Wednesday and Thursday posts done tonight.

If you have a family property, then you have children. Entertain the children and the parents will be happy...



Here's some ideas:

1. Have a contest with the children that has to do with school. Count the A's they get and the child with the most A's wins a gift card/prize. Don't forget that each age level has a different way of reporting on the report cards, so you may have to have a couple of categories.


2. For Mother's Day/Father's Day have a craft that is "kids only" and do up a surprise for their parent. Bath fuzzies, etc are great for the moms and why not do a hot/cold sock wrap for the dads. (If you need instructions for any of these or more ideas, just let me know and I will post them.


3. Plan a scavenger hunt. This can be something that both children and parents can participate in. You can make it something like the "Amazing Race" and each building/floor is a different country. You give them clues to get them to the next floor/building and the first family done wins...don't forget to have a fun activity along the way (if you do this in the summer, make sure you have something with water, balloons and popping the water balloons). Scavenger hunts can be as long, hard, easy, etc. as you want it to be. They can bring items to you or take pictures of the items.

So don't forget the children when it comes to planning your activities. Activities for elderly properties that don't include BINGO will posted later...

Enjoy!
