This one will work nicely both in your car and in your living room.  You are going to interview an expert -- an expert who also happens to be your child.



 And just what field is your child an expert in?  Well, let them tell you!



Start by announcing to the invisible at-home audience that you're conducting a very special interview.  Say something like, "Today we'll be talking to a very special person, who has some very interesting things to tell us about.  What is your name, my young guest?"



The trick with this game, we've found, is to have some stock starter questions.  Once you've asked those, listen to your kids' responses and then ask follow-up questions.  Your part is really that simple:  just listen and ask more.



Let your children decide if they want to answer truthfully or creatively.  Either is fine for this activity.



Here are some of our stock starter questions:



 

-What is your name?

-How old are you?

-What is your job?  What do you do in that job?

-Do you come from another place, such as a foreign country?  What is that place like?

-What do you like to do for fun?





This pastime also works well for visits from grandparents or other relatives.  It can keep many generations occupied and entertained at the same time.  (And for best results, remember that the kids are the creative and comedy stars of the show, not their parents asking the questions.)



There's no question that this will be fun for parents and kids alike!  Enjoy yourselves this weekend!
