This kind of activities are very helpful for children all ages as it created much tighter bonds inside a family! This is something that should become a habit in all schools as part of the educational process! I first found out about this kind of actions while my kid was in a preschool in Thornton CO and I found it to be, as I said, a very educational initiative! Maybe more and more schools will follow it!
