You and a two year old are placed in a small, bare, carpeted room for two hours. You do not really know this child. The child has NO idea who you are. Can you handle it? Sure. No worries, right? How about you and 2 two year olds? 3 two year olds ? 5? 7? 9? 12? Are you screaming for MERCY! yet? Welcome to Nursery. It takes a lot of ideas to make the 2 hours of church nursery run smoothly. I can use all the help I can get.

Snake!
Here's a little game to play that was suggested by a veteran nursery worker. He said when he was in nursery the kids loved it and would play it forever. That's music to my ears. The game is called Snake!
Put a jump rope on the floor and hold one end. Slowly shake your end so the rope wiggles. Then let the kids try to hop over it without getting "bit"-touched by the rope.
I think I'll try it tomorrow during play time.
cute idea! thank you! I just discovered this blog
