I take the three numbers of a license plate and say them outloud. The younger ones can add the numbers, the older ones can multiply. For teens you can multiply the first two and divide by the third. <BR/><BR/>This keeps mom and dad's brains in shape too because you've got to know the answer!Kalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03875870765382335906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15443223.post-23455664365555868762007-04-11T20:39:00.000-07:002007-04-11T20:39:00.000-07:00Great ideas!

Just make sure you add all the flags together and not make it a competition or it will turn into a fight over who sees the flag first!Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12518442124374879454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15443223.post-89845722588198470132007-04-11T14:52:00.000-07:002007-04-11T14:52:00.000-07:00Great ideas!

The only problem is that I end up skip counting by 3's to the tune of jingle bells for the rest of the day! :) <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the links....I'm going to go check them out.Darcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14332386719762802940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15443223.post-40290238789194415652007-04-11T13:19:00.000-07:002007-04-11T13:19:00.000-07:00Car learning is neat.

I've been trying to encourage talking in the car for exactly the reason you mention - to get them so used to it and they will talk to you when they are a teenager! <BR/><BR/>Since children sit in the back- I think, the lack of "face-to-face" contact may make it easier for them to talk someday.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04349247004635678939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15443223.post-16344460534020363322007-04-10T23:15:00.000-07:002007-04-10T23:15:00.000-07:00I'm another one who would love te name of the stat...I'm another one who would love te name of the states cd.

I also have been listening to some of my own cd's recently (It's been SOOOO long), and Kami has actually been asking for them (Dinner in Italy, Andre Bocelli, and Tim's celtic mix).<BR/>Another thing is that I have always wanted to learn another language, preferabley Italian, and now that I have a new comp with sound I've been learning online.
