I disagree with you.
The game is played by asking questions about personal interests. Children should work in pairs, rather than with their parents. For example, one child asks, "Are you reading a story?" The other child replies, "I'm reading The Ugly Duckling." Another player argues, "That story isn't very good." The player's task is to prove that the book is really good and worth reading. This helps children learn to argue and defend their own views confidently.
Compose
The game is perfect for developing imagination. Your task is to come up with a number of unrelated words. For example: forest, car, wave, moon, snow, fur, ceiling. Then ask your child to come up with a plot from these data. You will be surprised by the imagination of your child.
Balloon
Balloons are a great game to teach your child how to breathe properly and relax. It also helps you understand your child better. Give your child a balloon and ask him to blow it up. As the balloon inflates, he slowly lets air back into his mouth until it deflates. The air from inside the balloon will cause his mouth to inflate. Then, he slowly lets the air out of his mouth.
You can ask your child to describe when they feel like they can’t stand something or when they want to burst like a balloon. This way you will teach them to stay calm in difficult moments and to come up with solutions to problems. You can also find out what your child is interested in and help them overcome obstacles. Blowing balloons also helps children exercise their lungs.
Blow out the candles
Blowing out the candles is also a great way to teach your child how to breathe. Start by inhaling through your nose, expanding your belly, and slowly releasing air through your mouth as if you were blowing out a candle. After explaining the rules, ask your child to sit on a chair 2 meters away from the candle on the table. They cannot stand up, approach, or even lean towards the candle. They must try to blow out the candle from a distance of 2 meters. The game only ends when the child blows out the candle.
Praise
This is a group exercise. Children sit in a circle and say encouraging and complimentary words to the person next to them. As they speak, they look into the eyes of the person opposite them. The person being praised must respond with a thank you and then do the same to the person next to them.
Some children find it difficult to follow or give compliments. You may need to help them by asking guiding questions or giving examples. Children can learn a lot from this game because giving compliments is an art.
Guess what happened?
Find a picture or photograph of a typical situation, for example, someone being presented with a certificate. Ask your child what happened before and what they think will happen next. This task develops logical thinking and imagination.
Idea development
This game is also suitable for a group of children. Everyone sits in a circle and you, the leader, will start with the sentence "once upon a time...". The first child sitting next to you will continue by thinking of a sentence to add. Each child will add a sentence to complete the "work". At the end of the round, you can "twist" the story in a more logical direction. This exercise is fun, interesting for children and more importantly, it helps them develop their imagination.
