How to Fight the Winter Blues with some Plastic Army Men and a Marble
Just about everyone gets the winter blues from one time or another, not only adults who find themselves stuck inside during the winter, but the children also. Usually children love being outside or at least a lot of them do, when your young you don't mind the wind, snow and cold as much as you do when you get older. Also children, can run around in the snow and don't worry about sliding or falling, they just get up, brush off the snow and continue running and playing around. As we get older we find sliding and falling a little scary, it seems it's easier to get hurt or to even break a bone as we age.
Now, this article and the information within it, is geared towards children, but there is no reason a parent cannot join in and do this simple, fun activity with their child. When I was a child, my best friend was a neighbor boy named Johnny. Johnny and I would go fishing, ride on the same School Bus, ride our bikes and go on all kinds of adventures together.
In the winter, when we were both home with nothing to do, we would often call and talk to each other on the telephone, then get together at my house, don't ask me why, but it seemed we mostly met at my parents house, then his, maybe his parents planned that, but I cannot remember anyway, as that was years ago. Back then, and I am talking about the early 1970's, we did not have video games, cell phones, microwaves and even satellite TV was a few years away. Anyway, my friend Johnny would come down and he would often bring a bag of plastic army men.
My parents had a large farm house and it was great growing up there, the house had around 15 rooms including a large living room. When my friend arrived, I would get my bag of plastic army men and we would both go into the living room and sit on the floor. We would sit our army men up facing each others men, leaving around 5-6 feet of empty space in between the opposing armies. Then one of us would start, by rolling a large marble called a shooter marble, towards the opposing enemy army men. As the marble rolled it would knock down sometimes 2 or more enemy soldiers. We took turns doing this into one person had no more standing soldiers, and he was the loser of the game.
Today, playing with a marble and some plastic army men may seem simple or foolish by a lot of children, but I guarantee that it's probably just as fun today as it was all them years also, and some plastic army men and a marble is a lot cheaper then video games or a computer. If you have young children and your worried about them getting the winter blues as winter approaches, buy them some plastic army men and a marble, this fun, but simple little game may be all they need to help fight the winter blues.
There is a website that describes numerous activities and other methods to help eliminate the Winter Blues, this website is called: Winter Activities - and it may be found at this url: http://www.winter-activities.com
