Synopsis
If you are wondering what a 6-12 year old could do without the new I-Phone.... Here's what I and many of my friends did..rode a bike, did embroidery, played checkers, learned new dances from American Bandstand, shot a rifle, used a bow and arrow, went fishing, picked up black walnuts and hickory nuts, baked brownies, roasted marshmellows, acted in a play, took piano lessons, refinished furniture, went to auctions, played Monopoly, swam, dressed the cat in doll clothes, played Rook, roller skated, went to summer camp, rowed a boat, picked blackberries, washed the canning jars, helped stretch the lace curtains out to dry, gathered eggs, rode a sled, visited friends and relatives, and so much more. Not all of our activities would be what you as a parent or teacher might choose or even approve of. Many are not possible in your setting and not all are things I might choose for my own grandchildren or my students. The idea behind this text is to share options and inspire the reader to remember and/or discover ideas to create a richer more diverse experience for their young ones…and for yourself as well….why not? You are encouraged to put down your electronic device and explore the world. Paradoxically there are many recommended websites included in the text. As the saying goes….it’s all good. I am still learning, exploring and having a blast. So enjoy this wonderful adventure of life.
