We do so agree with the article in yesterdays paper by Dinning In “Do Children Really Need More Easter Eggs?” especially when Sheffy states “It's lovely to sit round the table with your children, no television on and have a chat about what everyone has been doing that day.”
A game we used to play with our lads when very small was to hide Easter eggs (small ones) all over the lounge and the eggs they found they kept. With a lot of judicial finger pointing, miraculously they always ended up with the same amount, sometimes finding one hours later - To ensure equal distribution ;-).
We discouraged sweets, but their Grand parents made sure they had their fair share of the sticky sweet sort. One of the results was, until girlfriends came on the scene, both the lads were able to make their Easter eggs last well past their sell by date by rationing themselves.
The game aspect of Easter lasted transferring itself to board games. Every year a new game was bought, played and enjoyed. All the old traditional games were introduced, Monopoly, Risk, Scrabble etc. This year we will play Outrage! In keeping with the “Royal Theme” or Qbits to tone up the brain.:-)
