Drinking Games for Kids!

Christine Bartsch: Can't keep your kid hydrated or get your toddler to drink their milk? It's time to use some college knowledge and get them guzzling like they're at a frat party.

The Classic Game: TV/Movie Drinking Games -- You know them, you've played them. Whether you take a drink for each missed step on "Dancing with the Stars" or toast each time a Real Housewife bares her claws, just flick on your TV and start sipping!

Kid Friendly Version -- Can't get junior to drink their milk at lunch or take a bite of their P.B. and J? Just modify the classic to their favorite program. They'll be taking a gulp each time Dora uses backpack in no time!

The Classic Game: Beer Pong -- Fill Plastic cups with beer, rack them up in billiard ball formation and start tossing ping-pong balls at them. Chug whichever beer your ball lands in until all the cups are empty.

Kid Friendly Version -- Fill those cups with juice and the same rules apply. Plus your kiddie will get some hand/eye coordination practice in too!

The Classic Game: Sink the Ship -- Get yourself a pitcher of beer and float a shot glass in it. Take turns pouring beer into the shot glass without overflowing it. Whoever sinks the glass slams the pitcher.

Kid Friendly Version -- Substitute shot glasses for tiny Tupperware containers and water for beer and you've got a great way to keep your kids hydrated on a warm day. Instead of having the sinker drink the pitcher, have them guzzle the rest of the water in their glass instead.

Don't worry about turning your kids into mini-lushes, without the alcohol, these games are no different than our parents using "open the hanger, here comes the airplane!" to get us to eat our dinner.

Momlogic wants to know -- what have you done to get your kids to drink their milk?

I’m going to have to say that this is pathetic! Come on, if you can’t find other games and activities for your kids to do, then you must not be a good parent. This is something I would NEVER have my child do, all drinking games are aimed at alcohol. The Beer Pong game for kids is disgusting. Momlogic what is wrong with you? I swear, I don’t have a clue as to why you would think it’s ok to post crap on here.

I’m thinking ICK must have just skimmed over the material and straight to the comments. While my children have never been the type to need a push to drink their milk, making a game of it would serve to help hydrate the little ones. Some parents may not know all the drinking games and these non-alcholic versions may just serve to inspire. And I know I’m not momlogic.. but I’m going to reply to the last comment of ICK’s anyway. “I swear, I don’t have a clue as to why you would think it’s ok to post crap on here” Umm… cause it’s her website. Like it our lump it as my mom always said.

ick—-Oh please! give me a break! if it wasn’t already a beer game, you wouldn’t have a problem with it. change the name, forget that it’s a game that people like to play using beer, use a different kind of drink. and you’ll never know the difference. hey i know—what if it’s wine pong? or milk pong? or oj pong? or kool-aide pong? or margarita pong? or tequilla pong? i could go on and on and on. its a great idea momlogic. kudos for thinking outside the box.

I’m with lj and texas mom. Seriously, relax a little will you ICK. The way to make sure your kids make good decisions in life and keep them on the right track it to talk to them, know who there friends are, where they’re going, just to name a few, playing a game to keep them hydrated in the summer is not going to make them binge drinkers. I think this is a great idea momlogic.

The fact that it is a drinking game matters. Get them used to something and it encourages the behavior. Using drinking games without alcohol on your children is a stupid idea. Would you let your child play with candy cigarettes as well?
