We've put together some great games for kids to play alone, with friends or with the parents. These extra-curricular activities will keep the kids entertained after school for weeks.

Supplies

  • 5-10 index cards

Directions

Write the name of a room in your house on each index card, let the little ones draw a picture of the room on the card.
Have them decorate a small cardboard box with crayons, stickers, felt, etc.
Put a prize for each child in the box and hide it in one of the rooms you made a card for, such as the bathroom. Hide the card for the bathroom in one of the other rooms with a corresponding card, such as the living room, then hide the card for the living room in one of the other rooms that you made a card for. Continue until you have one card left.
Give that card to the kiddos as the first clue and watch as they take off to find the cards in each room until they locate the treasure box. Be prepared to play over and over and over again!

How Kids & Moms Can Use Wearable Flash Drives

Although a number of people can benefit from wearable USB drives, perhaps no other group can take advantage of them better than students, teachers and moms. Here are just a couple of cool ways you can sport some wearable flash drives.

On Your Wrist

USB Wristbands are ideal for kids of all ages. First, they capitalize on the youthful popularity of brightly colored rubber wristbands. Only when you look closer can you see a USB connector and cap in place of a bracelet clasp. This is a fantastic, proactive way to prevent the loss of digital homework that falls out of or to the bottom of a backpack. It's easy access and always at the forefront of their minds.

Around Your Neck

Lanyard USB Drives come in a variety of styles. More sport selections include custom shaped drives with the USB connecter integrated into the buckle area of a lanyard. On top of that, there is still room to add keys or badges to the key loop for additional function and comfort. Lanyard USB Drives are also great for teachers and administrators because since they are often required to carry keys to rooms or I.D. for security purposes around campuses.

Clip On Your Clothes

Utilizing the same fastening concept, Paper Clip USB Drives are small enough to blend in as a novel accessory attached to a shirt, jacket, tie, backpack or purse strap but durable enough to hold a small stack of papers. This adaptability makes custom shape clip USB drive equally important for kids, teachers and moms alike. Kids can attach them to their clothing for daily use or turn them in with presentation as supplemental work to their research papers and book reports.
