你可以和孩子們這樣玩耍,既不用離開家也不用花錢
1. Room tidying competition
1. 打掃房間比賽Yes, really! This mutually beneficial activity can actually be fun if approached in the right way. It also mean your little ones get to make as much mess as they like beforehand. Netmums suggest: "You can set a timer or simply count loudly until they have finished their tidying and the winner can choose what activity you do next. Genius."
對，是真的！如果方式正確，這一互利的活動會變得特別有趣。這也意味着你們家的小傢伙可以在打掃之前把家裏搞得一團糟。Netmums建議："在他們打掃乾淨之前，你可以計時或是大聲的數一二三，贏家可以選擇他們想做的任何事情。真是天才想法！"2. Treasure hunt
2. 尋寶遊戲
Another great activity that taps into a child's curiosity and competitive streak. See above on how you can get them to clear up the mess they inevitably make. Realsimple have some lovely, simple pointers: "Make one set of clues for every player (try rhyming the clues for fun), each clue leading to the next one and, finally, to the treasure.
這是另一個很讚的遊戲：能觸發孩子的好奇心和競爭傾向。看看第一條你就知道該如何讓他們收拾自己弄得亂糟糟的家了。Realsimple有一些可愛而又簡單的指針："爲每一個玩家設定一組線索（可以令線索押韻，這樣更有趣）。每條線索都指向下一條線索，最終，找到寶藏。"Seal them in envelopes marked with a clue number (i.e., 2/7, or "two of seven"); this will help the treasure hunters keep track. "
將線索放在信封中，信封外面寫上線索數字（例如，2/7或七個當中的第二個）；這會讓尋寶者一直處於"在線"狀態。
3. Pizza party
3. 披薩派對Another mutually beneficial activity where your kids get to be creative and you get to eat pizza. Win-win. The lovely folk at BBC Good Food have a recipe on their website with child-friendly instructions they can follow. Which means they'll be that little bit more proud of their finished product. To make it an extra-special occasion, why not turn it into an indoor picnic?
這是另一個互利的遊戲：你的孩子能發揮創造力，而你又能吃到披薩。雙贏啊！BBC美食可愛的工作人員在他們的網站上發了食譜，指導孩子該如何去做。做完之後，孩子會對自己的成品更加自豪。想要使其成爲一次尤爲特殊的場合？試試室內野餐吧！4. Make a magazine or newspaper
4. 做雜誌或報紙Don't worry if you don't keep old copies around the house. You can also give your kids a list of fun topics, scenarios and characters to cover which they have to illustrate. If you do have old magazines and newspapers, Netmums have an original take on this activity which will make it a little more interesting.
如果家裏沒有舊報紙，你也不必擔心。你可以給孩子列出一些有趣的話題、場景和角色，讓他們根據這些內容描述。如果家裏有舊雜誌或舊報紙，Netmums對這一活動有獨特見解，能使其更加有趣。"Another idea is to use different eye/face/hair/body cut outs and mix them up to create some comical looking collages."
"另一個想法就是將不同的眼睛/臉/頭髮/身體圖案混合起來，創造一些類似動漫的拼貼畫。"5. Playing the old man
5. 扮演老人"I pretend that I'm a very old man who can't move and who has an important story to tell, but I can only remember the story by looking at various objects that the kids bring back to me."
"我假裝自己是位不能走路的老人，要講很重要的故事。但只有看到孩子們拿給我的不同東西時，我才能記起這個故事。"
