Boredom Buster Description: My kids might argue that creating a board game is as much fun as playing one. Each kid or team of kids can decide on a theme. My kids have built games around skiing, snowboarding, shopping, dating, Calvin & Hobbes and Christmas. Rules, draw cards, game boards, spinners and play pieces (think snowboards made of Popsicle sticks) grew more sophisticated with age. Tip: Until it comes to actually playing the games, the less parent involvement, the better. Kids love to let their own creativity shine.
