Daily Idea #160: T-shirt Teamwork

There are times when my kids get along so well that it brings a tear to my eye, and then there are times when they can’t get far enough away from each other. With the last 6 months of being together non-stop these moments have become the everyday norm of the rollercoaster of Covid-19.

For today’s daily idea we are going to have an overload of teamwork. I had seen a post like this years ago for siblings who weren’t working together and I knew one day we’d implement the same activity. And if you have an only child, try doing this with your child— it’ll bring on a tons of laughs!

Take an overly large t-shirt. The first person puts the shirt on (over their clothes) with one arm through an arm hole and the other arm inside the main part of the shirt. The second person then has to also get into the shirt with their head in the head hole and the opposite arm in the empty arm hole. Once the shirt is on, have them do different activities like brushing their teeth, or picking up puzzle pieces off the floor. Some of it can be a little frustrating to figure out how to work together but other activities bring on the giggles immediately.
