Kids Croquet
Kids love to play Croquet and other outdoor yard games. The other day I was applying for a job. I was on my fourth interview with the company and was wondering how I might make a good impression. On my resume the interviewer saw that I sold Croquet Sets and other yard games online. I was worried what she might think of that. Suddenly she got very excited and said, "My little boy loves to play croquet. He asks me to go play it with him almost everyday!" Well, from there the interview went very smooth and it was very comfortable, but more importantly, kids love to play croquet and other outdoor yard games.
So often these days, kids are sitting around the house playing computer games or watching television, eating junk food and getting fat and lazy. Why not find something better for them to do, something that is constructive, makes them be social and interact with their friends or whoever else might be playing. Help them to do something active, something outdoors that is both safe and fun. Croquet sets or other yard games are the perfect solution to the next generation wasting their lives away. It is something they can do often, at their own volition, and at no expense after the croquet or yard game sets are initially purchased. It is something they can do again and again.
I remember, my family had a http://www.playcroquet.com/ecom/phpshop/25.html>croquet set when I was a kid. I do not remember ever playing, but only vaguely. I remember hitting the balls around with the clubs, though, and just playing around with the croquet equipment. As a kid it was fun to hit the balls around with my club. Later in Junior High and High School, one of my friends had a croquet set, and we used to go to his place to play often.
Croquet and other
outdoor games are also fun for adults and can be a time when parents can spend some healthy, constructive, quality time with their children, family, or friends. One thing every family needs is some healthy, constructive, and uplifting recreational activities to do together as a family. It can facilitate a constructive and healthy lifestyle for everyone in the family and give a chance for parents to have a good influence on their children.
I played croquet in someone's backyard over the summer, and several children were playing as well. Few of them had ever played before, so I had to teach them. They all enjoyed it though; hitting the croquet balls around with their clubs and hitting each others' croquet balls with their own croquet balls to knock others out of the course. We played poison croquet, so the first person to go through the last wicket and hit the pole at the end became poison, and could eliminate the other players by hitting their croquet balls with the poison ball. They all had a good time even though I beat them all.
So, do something good for your kids, and get them a http://www.playcroquet.com/ecom/phpshop/46.html>kids croquet set to play with. Help them to get outside the house, to stop watching TV and playing video games and getting fat on the couch. Find them something constructive to do. Kids love to play croquet and other outdoor games and would be very excited if they had their own set to play with at their convenience. About the Author
