Twenty Questions
One of you thinks of something. The other has twenty yes-or-no questions.
Vous avez 5 minutes et un enfant de 10 ans. C'est une vraie contrainte, et la plupart des listes d'activités l'ignorent complètement. Les enfants de dix ans répondent bien mieux au défi et à l'autonomie qu'à la nouveauté.
Tout ce qui suit tient réellement en 5 minutes ou moins, préparation comprise. Rien qui demande vingt minutes de préparation pour cinq minutes de jeu.
