If your family is like mine, chances are someone will pull out a board game or cards to pass the time over the holidays.  Here’s something fun for kids of all ages from the Farber family collection.

It’s a simple game called ‘Ha.’ 

One person lays down and the next person lays perpendicular to them with their head on the other person’s stomach.  Someone else puts their head on the second person’s stomach and so on, and so on.  You can play this with as many people as you have room for (and it’s usually funnier with a bunch of people).

Once you’re all set up, the first person says ‘Ha!’  The next person (on their stomach) says ‘Ha, Ha!’  The third person than says ‘Ha, Ha, Ha!’

It continues on in order with each person adding an extra ‘Ha’ at the end.

If you do it correctly, someone in the line will start belly laughing.  That’s when someone else’s head will start bouncing on their belly, which usually sets off a chain reaction of belly laughs and head bouncing.

I know if seems silly, but young or old it’s pretty hilarious, easy to do and doesn’t cost you a bunch of money to entertain the whole group.

So when things get stale and conversation starts to get awkward, try suggesting a game of ‘Ha’ this holiday season.
