The alphabet game Going on a Picnic can help you out if the children have been running around playing energetic games and you think it’s time for them to wind down. Or if the adults have been running after them and now they need a bit of breathing space! This is also a good game to play in the car on the way to the picnic site. It helps to stop the cry “Are we there yet?!” Of course it helps your children learn the alphabet too, so it’s useful in more ways than one. Have everyone sit in a circle (or stay where you are if you’re in a vehicle!). Choose someone to start and this first player says, "I'm going on a picnic, and I'm taking an ___." (The player needs to say something that begins with the letter A). For example, “I’m going on a picnic and I’m taking an apple”. The next player has to remember what the first player is taking and then say something with the letter B. “I’m going on a picnic and I’m taking an apple and a ball”. The game continues with he next player and C: “I’m going on a picnic and I’m taking an apple, a ball and a camera” Then something beginning with D . . . . Return to the first player when necessary (this alphabet game can be played with any number of players) . . . . . . and so on, all the way through the alphabet.
