This makes me think about a recent xkcd comic:

I'm a big fan of playing with kids. My mom always played with us as a children, and it didn't diminish her authority as a parent, nor did it make us respect her less. Playing with your kids is a far cry from being their best friend. So I'm all for it.

Jordan, there's a game on the market called "Funny Face" which is essentially a game of improv for kids. It looks fun. (Naturally, I've never played it. But my kids have fun with it. I'm usually scowling at the computer.)

Kristina.......uhhhh. Beyond the sledding thing, I'm totally open for ideas.

Rachael, you're on, mama! Last one in the pool is, uh, dry.

Arrested Development helps!

My dh is a HUGE kid.....and is usually the only dad out side actually playing with his kids..not watching..playing. And not just sports...that is the big thing around here. We play what ever the kids want...and we all went sledding when it snowed.

We play all sorts of games with the kids.....no doubt why there is no respect here!

Dad is A's buddy. That is what tells everyone.

The lines have really blurred with the video game generation. Play is not just for kids anymore.

A great way to remember how to play again is to throw your inhibitions to the wind and take an improv acting class! Try it, you won't regret it...and neither will your kids.
