How to Make Family Games for Girls

Bedazzled Fashion Show

• 1

  Cut a pair of old jeans into capris for each participant.

• 2

  Have each participant customize a pair of jeans by using a hot glue gun to place patches and jewels onto the jeans. Make sure adult supervision is provided when using the glue gun. Draw designs and patterns onto the jeans with colored markers.

• 3

  Have the participants wear the jeans they designed. Instruct them to wait in a nearby room. Turn a radio on and play upbeat music. Let the fashion show begin. Have each girl strut their stuff, while showing off their own unique designer capris.

Blind Man's Cookie

• 4

  Pick a member of the family to be the designated "blind man." Make sure the blind man is not present while preparing cookies.

• 5

  Choose three of the family's favorite cookie recipes. Add an extra secret ingredient, such as fruit or candy, into each cookie recipe while preparing the cookie dough. Continue baking according to original recipe. Remove cookies from oven and allow to completely cool.

• 6

  Bring the "blind man" into the room and place a blindfold over her eyes.

• 7

  Have the "blind man" taste each cookie and try to identify the secret ingredient. Decide as a family if this new added ingredient should be a permanent addition to the recipe. Eat the remaining cookies when done.
