Activités de 60 minutes pour un enfant de 11 ans
Vous avez 60 minutes et un enfant de 11 ans. C'est une vraie contrainte, et la plupart des listes d'activités l'ignorent complètement. À onze ans, tout ce qui semble conçu pour des plus petits est rejeté aussitôt. Présentez-le comme un projet.
Tout ce qui suit tient réellement en 60 minutes ou moins, préparation comprise. Rien qui demande vingt minutes de préparation pour cinq minutes de jeu.
