1. Reframing household tasks
Being a ninja isn’t JUST about flips and kicks…
The NINJAGO universe demonstrates that it’s more about a state of mind, an approach to life, and being the best person you can be.
In the words of wise old Master Wu:
“In each of us there are obstacles that hold us back from true greatness. And only when you conquer those obstacles will you unlock your true potential.”
Reframing household tasks, therefore, as ‘obstacles’ on the way to ninja mastery is the perfect motivation for ninja kids.
Would a ninja master have an untidy room? Would they be defeated by a simple, non-demon-possessed dishwasher?
Creating these everyday ninja games also boosts your ninja kids’ creativity and problem-solving skills. Role-playing, even while doing chores, expands the limits of their growing imagination. Which is great for them! And it also improves their focus, which is great for you…!
