Dare and double dare

Mummy said to Santiago
"Please get off that iPad...
Please play some other game...
Something you can maybe make up
Something that actually uses your brain"
So he came to visit his Nana
He came to ask; to explain...
Help me make this game I've thought of
Help me to invent my new game...
So we cut up tissue boxes
Coloured them in shades it's true
Yes we had: red, orange, yellow, green and blue
We even had pink ones for little Evaleah
Knowing she would want to join in...it's true
He decided to call his game "Dare and double dare"
Had everything all planned...up in there
In his head it was all decided
Up in there he had all his ideas...
We just had to solve a few problems
Make it happen...oh yeah!
We thought of things we could do or dare
We thought of many possibilities...
Brainstormed and related everything
To each other...really spent some quality time
Thinking about the ways to play it
Thinking about the fun we wanted to share
Today we completed the whole thing
We made little pebbles into pieces to use
Used Texta colours to give each a unique edge
Then we searched through the toy box
To find a dice that we could use
We found one we'd made together
A couple of years ago...paper covered in sticky tape
He remembered we'd stuffed it full of tissues
To help it keep it in pretty good shape!
We played a couple of games together
We laughed and had such fun
Doing sit-ups and spinning around
Laughing out loud, hugging and kissing
Just as we were directed by those cards
Now he is playing with his little brother
I can hear their laughter true
What an excellent adventure we have started
An excellent game to play for more than two...
