The Chocolate Game
This game is extraordinarily popular with my children, who seem to love the thrill and excitement more than the actual chocolate eating, which they never get much of a go at! It takes a little preparation and you will need to supervise carefully with younger kids.
The Chopsticks Game
I played The Chopsticks Game often in my childhood and became quite accomplished at it! It makes a fun racing game for parties and Chinese New Year gatherings. You can play as individuals or teams.
The Donut Game
This is a messy way to serve the kids something to eat, but most children will enjoy it! This works quite well at a family gathering, as there will certainly be some adults who are willing to have a go!
The Firework Code
Fireworks are fun but they are also dangerous. If you are not going to an organised fireworks event and plan to set off fireworks of your own, make sure that everyone involved knows all about safety.
The First Thanksgiving
Use this printable page to write about the first Thanksgiving. Choose the version you prefer below.
The Flour Game
A messy game, this appeals to children more than their parents! You are better off playing this outside if possible. It has a certain similarity to Jenga!

The Great Wall Of China
Learn a little about the amazing Great Wall of China with your children, and tie in your learning with our activity suggestions, printables and stories.
The Hat Game
Popularised as a "board game" which you can now buy in the shops, we have been playing this one for years in my family - and with much enjoyment too. It makes a great game for mixed age groups and works best as a sit-down game, perhaps in the early evening or after a meal.
The Jay and the Peacock
This is the story of a bird who didn't think much of himself, and believed that a fine costume could make him better! It is one of Aesop's Fables, and we've retold it in modern language for today's children. Read it online here, or find a printable version below.
The Kidnap of Sita Colouring Page
The demon king Ravana tricks Rama into leaving Sita alone, and then he captures her and takes her off in his winged chariot. The quick-thinking Sita leaves a trail of her jewellery for her husband to follow. Second in our series of colouring pages telling the Story of Diwali.
