This quick activity idea comes from ‘Have Fun with Your Kids’ by Marilee LeBon.

You will need;

Marbles

Shoe Box

Markers (I heart sharpies)

1. Take your shoe box, and, on one of the longer sides cut out five doors of differing sizes.

2. Above each door give a points value, the smaller the door the higher the points value should be.

Playing the Game

1. Youngest player goes first (because that’s always what happens, right, pfff I was the eldest, not bitter….much)

2. Players take turns to roll a marble through the door, if a marble goes through the points value for that door is awarded.

3. Highest score wins (because it’s ok to have a winner !)
