Anyone having family over to celebrate the holiday weekend? Why not get the whole family involved, kids, aunts & uncles, grandmas & grandpas, friends and neighbors? Instead of the traditional barbecue throw some fun in there. I suggest some fun trivia and a cute crafts for the kids.
1. Try some fun trivia from kidscraftzone.com. Have each participant write down their answer. Then, read off the correct answer and hand out prizes. Everyone should get a prize to make things fair and more fun. But, hand out prizes by highest to lowest scores. You can find cute and inexpensive holiday prizes in the "dollar spot" at Target. Try this trivia!
