Name That Sound
Close your eyes. What made that noise?
Vous avez 5 minutes et un enfant de 5 ans. C'est une vraie contrainte, et la plupart des listes d'activités l'ignorent complètement. À cinq ans, les règles prennent du sens et terminer quelque chose devient satisfaisant en soi.
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.
