Tonight for family game We played ants in a can sesame street edition or as my two year old calls it “Oscars Bugs” I’m sure there are actual rules for this game but in my home we use house rules for every game we play. The rules for this game get everyone involved and everyone is a winner: mommy and daddy flick the ants at the can and try to get them in while the two year old squeals excitedly and flicks back the ones we miss. My one year old son then takes the game up a notch by stealing the can and walking around with it and periodically setting it upside down. With the increased difficulty level for the parents the cats raise the difficulty for the kids by stealing the ants and running away with them. The game ends when all the ants are missing and the kids are squealing with joy as the chase the cats through the house.
