Putting the kids to work.

Earlier this week I sent an email to many of my corporate clients about the up coming Take Your Kids to Work day. If your office is planning a day or you know someone who is, take a look at my tips:

Take your Child to Work Day Tips

This year Take Your Child to Work Day is nationally slated for April 28, 2011 but many offices choose a day that works best for them. If your office is planning on participating this year, you need to have a plan for the day. Activity Suggestions Tour: Schedule a tour of the company with short explanations of what happens in each area. If you can find an object that the kids can follow through the procedure can be fun and helpful. They can follow a case, a file, a customer order, etc. Crafts: Have the kids think of what job they might like to do when they grow up and draw a picture of that job. Also, companies like Fun Express and Oriental Trading Company offer fun prepackaged craft kits. (Photo frames are a great idea). Photo time: Take picture of the child at Mom or Dad's desk for the the above mentioned photo frames. Lunch: Pizza is always a favorite. Entertainment: It can't be all work and no play. Hiring a professional entertainer can take the stress out of the day. About the Author Edd Fairman, Wizard of Sorts is a professional corporate and family magician based in Chicago.
