HOW TO PLAY
1
Players agree on family roles to play, such as parent, child, or visitor, and gather pretend cooking props.
2
A play kitchen area is set up using stones, tin lids, and leaves to stand in for pots and food.
3
Players act out daily household scenes, from cooking to greeting guests, using improvised dialogue.
4
Roles can be swapped partway through so everyone gets a turn at different characters.
5
The scene continues loosely until the players decide to start a new pretend story or end the session.
