Stories by a mother on a mission to bring back classic backyard games

Because in a world filled with electronic games, organized sports and extra-curricular activities, games that spark creativity and foster the imagination get overlooked. And as a pediatrician once told me, “It’s not the kids with skinned knees that I worry about; it’s the ones without a scratch.”

Earth Day

Welcome to Earth Day! What a great day to get out and play. Or, stay in and play if the weather is bad where you live. It really doesn't matter.

Games like Kick the Can and Follow the Leader are great ideas for kids and their friends. Keep them off the couch and use the excuse of "Earth Day" to turn off the TV and the video games.

Even if they have to stay in the house, they can play Treasure Hunt or Build Forts with their friends. Games like these use imagination and what better way to keep their brains active and creative.

So enjoy Earth Day, conserve some power and have fun.
