MOVIE STAR- A GAME OF IMAGINATION

A slight variation to the game of dress-up, this will be as fun as Halloween for your child. Let your child dress up as something, depending on what you have available--a cowboy/girl, prince/princess, sports hero, wizard, etc. Pretend like he/she is going to be in a movie scene. Turn your bathroom into a "dressing room" (you can even tape a paper star to the door with your child´s name on it). After the outfit is on, you can either film your child with a camcorder (if you have one) or take pictures with your camera. You can pretend to be the director and give your child a scene to act out. Most kids are hams and love to act when given the chance. Ask your child for his/her autograph. Contributed by Jennifer Spieler
