10 Games I Play with My Dad

What you need to play

• A moistened cloth or small towel (like a baby wipe)
• A bathroom shower with tiles (or another surface that can have visual markings, like adhesive tape forming squares)
• A running shower and a child who's stalling bath time 😅

Objective

Transform bath time into a radical championship of aim and precision! The challenge is to hit a tile square with the wet cloth — without touching the grout lines and without letting it fall before 3 seconds!

Rules

• The child wets the cloth with bath water.
• They must throw the cloth against the tiled wall.
• Points only count if:
• The cloth stays stuck to the wall for more than 3 seconds;
• It falls within a single tile, without touching the grout lines between tiles.
• Each successful hit is worth 1 point.
• The child needs to score 5 points to win.
• But watch out! If the cloth falls from the wall before 3 seconds, and the child manages to catch it before it touches the shower floor, the next throw is worth 2 points!
• To make it more exciting, you can mark a "golden tile" with tape or shampoo — and if the cloth sticks there, it's worth 3 points!

Warning to parents: once this game starts, the hard part isn't getting the child into the bath... it's getting them out!
