Although kids are fun to hang around with their attention span can be minimal. You have to come up with fun ideas to ensure they are alert and active participants. After all, you want to get the best out of the given event.
For instance, at any fundraiser event, art class, or even at the daycare, using ice breaker questions will enhance child participation and break the boredom. This is especially vital when hosting a group of kids that don’t know each other well.
