Make a Movie

When your children grow out of kiddie pools and fun things like throwing bags of peas, organize a children's party with filming, if, of course, you can get a video camera with sound. Depending on the number of children, divide them into groups of four to six; Instruct each group to write a script and assign roles for the upcoming shooting. We advise you to have on hand plenty of rags suitable for dressing up: old hats, long scarves or scraps of fabric, remnants of carnival costumes and a whole staff of animals. Brooms and shaving brushes may come in handy.

Give the children fifteen to twenty minutes to prepare. Then have each group take turns putting on a performance for the others while you film. You can show a movie over dessert (and if you don't have a camera, forget about these video tips of ours and call the show theater).

Commercial approach
You can offer a more condensed and shorter version of this game. Each group should prepare a script at home, and then let the children film an advertisement.
