Sunday night family supper is a ritual in our family. It is a time of the week when everyone gathers to discuss the past week's activities and news and make plans for the coming week. While are not a large family there are usually between 12 and 20 for supper so it is always nice when the 6 little people can go outside to play for a while and give the adults a chance to visit. As sunset comes early this time of year outdoor games can be a challenge. That makes flashlight tag an important addition to our games repertoire.It is a simple game but the kids love it:
- Somebody has to be chosen as "it".
- This child gets a flashlight and hides his/her eyes and counts to 10.
- Everyone else runs and hides in the dark corners of the yard.
- The child who is "it"searches for them with the flashlight.
- As soon as the flashlight spots a child he/she is considered found.
- The search continues until all children are found. This is an important safety feature - we don't want to loose anyone.
- Then the first one found is "it" for the next round.
This game keeps everyone entertained until supper is served.
