Single Mom or Dad + Games for Kids = Heck Yes!

Fraboom Expert Victoria
Calling all single parents and their young! First of all, hello, it’s nice to meet you. Secondly, we’d like to say that we’re huge fans! And finally, we invite you to come have an adventure that is perfect for one parent and a kiddo or two.
If you’re looking for something awesome to do with your kids that’s fun, entertaining, and might make you the coolest parent ever, well you may want to wander by the Fraboom Online Children’s Museum. Fraboom was created for mom and dad to sit down with their kids and have adventures together! This isn’t just a place full of games for kids to play and disappear for a while, it’s an educational and exciting experience for everyone.
If you’ve got an afternoon and an internet connection, I say hop onto Fraboom together and see what you can see! Everything is designed to entertain and educate so YOU—the ever-wise grownup—will definitely come in handy. The wonderful thing about exploring Fraboom together is that it is designed to start conversations, pull out your kids interests and present you with new experiences to share. Plus, you get to show your kid how smart you are when you know the answer…or how humble you are when you don’t. Yay life lessons! You can also set up the time to learn more about your kiddies while they’re having a blast. Ask them what their favorite subject is in school or their favorite hobby and pick the exhibit you visit based on that.

Game Time Tip: Here’s one of our fun, fun games called Toon In that we play in our live class Train Your Brain and that you can easily play outside of that class for strictly one-on-one time (this is also a nice way for mom or dad to be the ring leader). It works best with our Boom Toons (in FraboomTv) as they are packed full of facts!

1.    Tell the kids to pay close attention.
2.    Play about 1 minute of a cartoon.
3.    While they’re watching write down a few questions about what was said in the video, for example, how does a spider know she’s caught her prey? Or is the ventricle the upper or lower chamber of the heart? What color was the boys shirt?
4.    Ask away!

This is also nice when you have more than one kid with you as there’s no fighting over the mouse. Also, prizes are never a bad idea. Maybe the winner gets to choose which cartoon you do next or which exhibit you visit in the Museum. “Toon In” is a great way to learn together, have fun, and be impressed by your kids super memory!

No matter what you choose to do at Fraboom it will entertain, encourage, and just be way too much fun!
