Grandma Camp — On TV!

DigiGram — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 04:30:08 +0000

Do you remember that last summer I mentioned how my friend, Denise, holds a Grandma Camp for her grandchildren? She was recently on a local TV program discussing her different camps. You can get a good idea of some of the great things that she has done by watching this segment. Congratulations, Denise, for getting on TV! You’re famous now . . .

I’m Back — But Busy

DigiGram — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 14:25:09 +0000

So now that I’m back from Washington, D.C. (which was a fabulous trip and a great conference!), life seems to have swept me downstream in a maelstrom. Grocery shop to fill an empty fridge. Wash laundry. Party on the 4th.

And, now we’re in the process of painting one of our bedrooms that will also be my exercise room. Then, next week, I’ll be baby sitting our wonderful grandson. Will someone please tell me when I’ll have time to write another post???

Clothespin Tag

DigiGram — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 21:12:09 +0000

So you’ve got the grandchildren coming over to spend the afternoon. Or possibly you need to find an activity to keep them busy at a family reunion or at a family picnic.

You want to try a new type of activity — one that is fun but doesn’t require lots of pre-preparation or lots of work to carry it out.

Here’s something that I think would fit the bill. (And it can help use up all of the energy that is spilling out of your grandchildren!)

Clothespin Tag

The object is to be the last player with a clothespin still on your back. This game is for at least 5 players. The more the merrier. Play this game outside unless you don’t mind getting your lamps broken and furniture knocked over . . .

To play, you need one clothespin for each player. Clip the clothespin to the back of each player’s shirt. Then each player tries to steal the other players’ clothespins without letting anyone get her clothespin. If your clothespin is taken by another player (or falls off when a player attempts to remove it), you’re out of the game.

The last player with a clothespin left on the back of her shirt is the winner.

Do any of you have fun variations of tag? If so, please leave a comment and tell us what you have done that has been fun to do with your grandchildren.
