My kids liked the Back-to-School Friendship game so well last week, that we have extended it another week. This week’s game is “Conversation Starters for Kids.” To learn how to make this game and how to play, visit this post.
I changed the rules a little bit this week. They can do more than one activity a day, and (as long as they do five things during the week) they can eat the rest of the candy on the weekend. There was no way that candy in their two uncompleted slots was going to survive until today! Also, they don’t have to do exactly what’s written. If they can tell me something they did to go out of their comfort zone and/or make a friend, they earn the treat.
If you aren’t into giving your kids candy, small toys and stickers will fit, too. Those are Squinkies in the picture.
Here’s the download for the new game: Be Happy–Conversation Starters
Enjoy!

I’d love for you to share your creative ideas on One Creative Weekend! The linky party is live every week from Friday to Tuesday. Come and join the fun!
This is so cute and a great way to store Squinkies too! lol Thanks for sharing such a great motivational tool!
Super fun! What a great summer activity idea. I came over from the JAQ link up. Would like to invite you over to my craft/recipe party going on now. I’ve been hosting recipes for over a year and crafts for just a few weeks, so we are gathering momentum, would love to have you a part of it! http://www.nap-timecreations.com/2012/08/five-layer-oreo-dessert-and-tasteful.html
Thanks so much for visiting and for the invite! I’m on my way to your site to link up and follow. I’d love it if you’d follow me back! Have a great day.

Great idea! I loved the make-new-friends one too, and this same principle could be applied to so many things. :-) Thanks for sharing at The Fun In Functional!
What a great idea! I am going to have to get my grandson those squinkys.
That is another great idea! It’s great to help your kids stretch their comfort zones in such a fun and rewarding way.
Ok, This is adorable. My son has been homeschooled until this year. He started second grade at a private school in town, if he found this in his backpack it would make his day! Thanks for sharing:)
