Tabletop Shooting

If you are busy in the kitchen or some other work, you can offer your child this game, which should attract his attention and calm him down. The danger and beauty of this activity is that you yourself can get carried away and forget why you had to go to the kitchen. Place a very light, easy-to-glide object on the table—a plastic margarine box will do—and click the box across the table. The condition is this: the object must slide to the very edge of the table and not fall off it. See how many times you can do this. Instead of a box, you can use something else, for example, a small coin. If you want to make it easier for kids to play, draw a few lines at the edge of the table, these will be almost zones. If the child cannot get into the zone at once, give him three attempts.
