Okay, repeat of yesterday. The sleet is still coming down making the roads too scary for school buses, and also me. Once again, we are trapped indoors.
Today we tried a version of indoor hockey. The kids played on their knees using wooden spoons to hit a sock/tape ball into laundry baskets. Here's my honest, real mom opinion (ratings 1-5 astericks).
Set up: (*****) 3 minutes, including moving the couch for more room, taping a sock into the shape of a ball, and emptying laundry baskets.
Equipment: (*****) Had everything we needed, and didn't even need to search the back of the craft closet.
Rules: (***) Problems arouse with goal tending and if a goal counted if the ball didn't stay in the basket. These should be decided before the start of the game.
Minutes until complaining: (*) 2
Minutes until both kids quit: (*) 4
Summary: The game started out fun with lots of laughing. However, the ball would pop right out of the laundry baskets so the goalie would claim no goal, while the shooter claimed a point. It was too soon before they both started complaining their knees hurt. I was amazed there weren't any injuries with those swinging spoons. They both said they didn't want to play every again. Bust!
