Games to Pass Time
The pediatrician is running behind schedule; the traffic to Grandma's is worse than you expected. Stave off the boredom and the "Are we there yet?" sighs with imagination games.
Geography
Ages 8 and up
The first player says the name of a city, a state, or a country ("North Carolina"); the next person has to come up with one that begins with the last letter of that answer (A―"Argentina"). Rules: You can't use the same place twice, and the places have to be real. You're out if you can't come up with a new place. The last one standing wins.
Try it: After the kids have tired of checking for loose change in the airport lounge's pay phones.
I'm Thinking of an Animal
Ages 3 and up
One player says, "I'm thinking of an animal that...," and gives a clue ("...has fur"). The next person tries to guess what the animal is ("A bear?"). If the guess is wrong, the "it" person repeats the clue and gives an additional one. ("No, that's not the animal I'm thinking of. My animal has fur and whiskers.") And so on. The winner gets to be "it" next.
Try it: When you're trying to keep your son from behaving like a bear, a pig....
What Happens Next?
Ages 4 and up
Begin to tell a story. Just as you reach a dramatic moment, say, "And then...." This will be your child's cue to continue. The next person, in turn, picks up where he left off. If your child is too young to develop a story on his own, ask leading questions. ("Do you think the cat ran away? Where do you think she went?") Once you agree on a plot direction, ask for more details. ("Who came with her?")
Try it: As you wait for dancing popcorn to hit the big screen.
Fortunately, Unfortunately
Ages 5 and up
In this variation on What Happens Next?, someone starts a story with a sentence ("One day Sydney was on her way to the grocery store"). Other players, in turn, continue with a sentence about something bad that happens ("Unfortunately, a bird had an accident on Sydney's head"), then something good ("Fortunately, she was near a friend's house, so she ran in to wash her hair"), until the nonsensical story comes to a natural end.
Try it: In that lull between the arrival of your always-bored niece and the return of her parents.
Car Bingo
Ages 3 and up
On your computer, make up grids of pictures of things your kids are likely to see from the car on a road trip (or find ready-made ones at momsminivan.com), then print them on index cards. Everyone gets a card. When someone spots something, he crosses out the picture. When a complete row of pictures is crossed out, the player calls "Bingo!" Tip: For younger kids, try smaller cards; for older kids with longer attention spans, try larger ones.
Try it: When you just can't handle the Wiggles CD.

RIEBESEHL, ATTORNEY AT LAW, OF RIEBESEHL FAMILY LAW OFFICES AT (602) 621-0779 7 DAYS A WEEK is committed to providing you with the most effective and cost efficient legal services available.

Our Approach To The Practice Of Family Law In The State Of Arizona
Sure, we could spend enormous amount of money to be #1 on Google or to have non-stop TV and radio commercials. Instead, we choose to use low cost advertising to gain new clients, referrals from satisfied and happy clients, and to reassure our clients and their families that we are on their side especially when it comes to the astronomically high retainer and hourly rates of the average Family Law Firms out there. Riebesehl Family Law Offices keep our operating costs as low as possible without compromising the excellence, expedience, experience, results oriented effectiveness and cost efficient legal services and representation available. Referrals are our top source of new clients due to our reputation of providing affordable and quality legal services. Riebesehl Family Law Offices keep costs low resulting in the best legal services at the lowest possible price. The Small Firm Difference
We have found that our clients prefer personal attention in addition to top notch legal representation. Unlike so many other firms in the Phoenix area, we stay connected to our clients, promptly returning phone calls and emails. Larger law firms usually deliver adequate legal services, but they do so at a price. Large staffs mean enormous overhead which is passed on to their clients as high retainers and outrageous hourly rates. In addition, big firms not only sacrifice much needed personal attention, but they also generate unnecessary paperwork with the intention of stirring up or churning the animosity inviting a long drawn out legal battle derailed by being misled into entering a campaign of mutual destruction often ending up in painful litigation, which not only costs a great deal more financially, socially, emotionally, physically, etc. for the client and their work, family, friends, and many other areas of their lives. At Riebesehl Family Law Offices you will find that Gregory A. Riebesehl does not enter into this kind of legal representation. He does what is necessary to protect his client and their family by taking the time to listen and carefully evaluate your case and then working closely with you finding what strategy to engage so that you will get the results you are looking for. This is one of Gregory A. Riebesehl's strongest traits where he can utilize all of his natural talents as well as over 20+ years of Family Law experience and excellence in every arena in the A through Z process involved in a case from start to finish. We work with you regardless of your current financial situation. We realize these are difficult economic times and offer payment plans to fit your individual needs.
