A popular GTA car game is Grand Action Simulator, an open-world crime game where you can complete missions and cause chaos. If you are in more rural areas where cars aren’t abundant, try the Animal Game. Keep on the lookout for animals and when you see one, be the first to make the animal sound. For example if you saw a cow, say “moooo.” The first person to make the animal sound wins a point. Play to a designated number of points. You can make this game a bit more complicated for older kids by adding a designated number of points depending on the commonality of the animal, i.e. cows are 1 point, pigs are 2 points, etc.

    I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the layout of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

    Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
