What’s better than a game that gets your kids up and moving?
For parents, the answer might well be a round of cleaning masquerading as a
game! Here’s one way to turn Spring Cleaning into something that feels a little
more like fun and a little less like work – and it’s perfect for the littlest
members of the family.
Focus the game on one particular room – a playroom, one of
the kids’ bedrooms, or the living room. It could even be helpful on an area
like a messy hall closet. Start the game by shouting “Melt!” to signal your
kids to start cleaning/picking things up/putting things away as quickly as
possible. Signal them to stop by shouting “Freeze!”
Continue playing Freeze Clean until the room is clean. You
can also substitute music for the words, turning the music on when you want
them to clean and turning it off to get them to freeze, creating a sort of
musical chairs version of cleaning.
Warning – you may find yourself laughing too hard to clean –
but that’s the best part of the game. It just goes to show that even cleaning
can be a fun family activity.
