Recently I taught them how to play spoons, and they are HOOKED! In an effort to introduce my kids to the simple joys of my childhood, I’ve been teaching them some of the easy card games we used to play way back in the day. …we had so much fun back then! We had fun with all kinds of super simple things like playing toilet tag and digging in dirt. In a lot of ways, life really was boring back then compared to what kids experience now. I couldn’t text group of friends at once – I actually had to look kids’ phone numbers up in the phone book and hope I knew their parent’s first names in order to find the right numbers! And summer enrichment programs? Ya, no. There was none of this downloading a new fun app each week or watching whatever show we wanted at any minute of the day. I like to tell my kids how boring life was back when I was a kid. Teach your kids how to play spoons today!
