8 Interesting Icebreaker Games for Kids
If you’ve ever been to summer camp as a child, you would know how awkward and even overwhelming it can be to socialise and get to know other kids. It’s a common experience for most kids to feel uncomfortable the first time they’re in a new group. Fortunately, kids are waiting to socialize, and all they need is an icebreaker.
Awesome Icebreaker Games and Activities That Children will Enjoy
Here are 8 amazing icebreaker activities for kids that are sure to get them comfortable with each other.
1. Hop to it
Hop to it is a fun ice breaker game that gets the kids moving. It is a good way to get them involved in the activity while helping you understand them better.
Things You Will Need
Coloured construction paper
Crayons, markers, pens
Scotch tape
A list of question to get to know the kids such as
How old are you?
What is your favourite food?
What is your favourite activity?
What is your favourite colour?
What is your favourite animal?
How to Set Up and Play
Draw the answers to all the get-to-know-you questions on the construction paper. Alternatively, you can print the answers if you have access to a printer.
Lay out the papers and tape them to the floor and have the kids line up.
When you ask a question, the kid in the front hops to the answer and has to explain why they chose that answer.
If the kids can read, then write the answers in words.
2. Getting to Know You
This is a simple but fun game for all the kids to get to know each other quickly.
Things You Will Need
A ball
How to Set Up and Play
The game set up is quite simple; first, you get all the children to stand in a circle.
The game begins when you throw the ball to a random kid and as a question about them, such as “what is your favourite colour?” The kid answers the question and randomly tosses the ball to another kid and asks a question such as “do you have a pet?”
The next kid who catches the ball answers that question and tosses it to another random kid with a question.
Have a list of questions prepared and read them out to the kids so they can have an idea about what to ask.
3. The Line-Up Game
This is one of the simplest ice breaker games for children to play at a party or a summer camp when your crowd is not homogenous in their age.
Things You Will Need
Groups of children and adults of different ages
How to Set Up and Play
Group the participants into teams of 5 or 6 people and appoint one person as the caller.
Once everybody is ready, the caller will call out the instructions that their teams will follow.
The instructions would be a simple task such as “everyone line up according to your height in the increasing order from left to right.”
Other instructions can include telling the teams to line up according to age or a sequence of colours that match what they are wearing.
To make the game more fun, you could instruct the teams to communicate only using hand gestures and no words.
4. Book About Me
In this activity, the kids will create a storybook that talks about them. It’s a great craft and one that their parents would love to save.

How to Set Up and Play
Give one sheet for each answer for every kid.
The kids then draw the answers to all the questions while they talk to you about what they are drawing.
Once they finish, staple the pages together to turn it into a storybook.
Each author shares his/her story out loud while they show everyone what they drew
You can make a storybook of your own and share your story as well

Uterus during Pregnancy
The uterus is a pear-shaped, dynamic female reproductive organ located in the pelvis between the urinary bladder and the rectum. The average dimensions are approximately 8 cm length, 5 cm breadth, and 4 cm thickness, with an average volume between 80 and 200 ml. Together with other vital organs of the reproductive system, the uterus plays an important role in reproduction, menses, implantation of the zygote, gestation, labour, and delivery of the baby. It is under the influence of the hormonal milieu within the body adapting to the different stages of a woman’s reproductive life.
What is a Uterus and How Does it Work?
The uterus is divided into 3 main parts: fundus, body, and cervix. To understand this, imagine a pear upside down. The upper globular, thick part is the fundus, the lower narrow slightly tubular part is the cervix and in between is the body. The uterus has two arm like extensions one on each side at the junction of the fundus and the body called the fallopian tubes.
The ovary is a specialised structure that produces the ovum or the egg. Your ovary starts producing ova even before birth but the maturation and release of these ova begins after the onset of puberty or menses. Each month, either of the ovaries releases one ovum which is picked up by the fimbriae and travels through the fallopian tube to reach the uterine cavity or the inside of the womb. Then it meets the sperm (if you have had unprotected sex).
Where does the egg meet the sperm? The millions of sperms ejaculated into the vagina during unprotected sexual intercourse travel through the cervix, up the body, and meet the egg in the fallopian tube, where one lucky sperm gets to enter the egg to fertilise it. This results in formation of the zygote, which will then develop into a foetus.
How the Uterus Works?
It is quite interesting to see how the uterus functions. The uterus is hollow inside and has a wall that is 3 layers thick. The outermost layer is a very thin layer which forms a coat or an envelope. The middle layer is a thick layer of muscles which forms the main bulk. It gives the strength to the wall of the uterus and is capable of expanding to accommodate a growing baby and contracting to push the baby out during labour.
The inner thin glandular lining is called the endometrium. It is the most active layer responding to all the hormonal changes and is highly specialised. It is formed every month and it prepares itself for conception and pregnancy, waiting for a fertilised egg to arrive and implant itself on it to begin the process of making a beautiful baby. For most of the months after puberty however, what it receives is an unfertilised egg. During such a situation, the inner lining is shed with some blood and that’s what is called menses and this whole cycle is called menstrual cycle
When a fertilised egg does arrive, it gets implanted on the endometrium. Now, it will grow to form a placenta and an embryo. The placenta forms connections with the uterine blood vessels to provide nutrition to the embryo via an umbilical cord. While this is happening the uterus sends signals to the brain to modify the hormone release such that any further egg releases (i.e. ovulation) are stopped and this temporarily ceases the menstrual cycle, thus confirming your pregnancy.
The uterus has a rich network of blood vessels and nerves. The nerves are responsible for the pain due to the contraction of the muscular middle layer during menstruation and during labour.
Function of Uterus in Pregnancy
Pregnancy is a complex process requiring a good niche. There is interplay of various hormones and chemical mediators released by the brain and the uterus that need to be in perfect sync to conceive and maintain the pregnancy. These factors include:
Space and support
In pregnancy the uterus provides space and a suitable environment called the amniotic sac (a water bag filled with amniotic fluid) for the foetus to grow comfortably.
Connects the mother and the baby
The uterus forms a connection between the mother and the baby via the placenta and umbilical cord to not only provide the necessary nutrition and oxygen but to also remove the waste products and purify the foetal blood until the foetal organs take over.
Feedback to the brain
Through the feedback given by the uterus, the brain regulates the hormones throughout the pregnancy to keep the uterus in a relaxed state. At full term, the uterus sends a feedback message to the brain that the baby is ready for the most awaited moment and that is when the hormones change and the uterus begins to contract at the onset of the labour.
Labour
Labour depends entirely on the efficient contraction and retraction of the uterine muscle fibres. Gradually the baby is pushed down with a progressive increase in the frequency and the strength of contractions.
Haemostasis
On completion of birth the uterus contracts and becomes a hard small ball. It is structured to reduce bleeding and revert to the non-pregnant state.
Changes which Happen to Your Uterus During Pregnancy
Nature beautifully takes care of all the adaptations that are required in the mother’s body for a healthy pregnancy. The changes are in the structure (anatomical changes) and the function (physiological changes) not only in the reproductive organs but all other systems of the body. It is the maternal adaptation to the increasing demands of the growing foetus.
1. Changes in position
The uterus undergoes immense changes during pregnancy, having a significant impact on the body as a whole, altering other organ systems too. Many of these changes are necessary to maintain pregnancy while others are merely side-effects. These changes may cause discomfort to the mother.
Normal anteverted position (forward bending of the uterus on itself) is exaggerated up to 8 weeks. The enlarged uterus lies on the bladder making it incapable of filling to its usual capacity and hence the increased frequency of micturition during early pregnancy is experienced. Afterwards it becomes erect, and near term it is held straight up against the spine by the good tone of the abdominal muscles.
2. Size of uterus during pregnancy
There is a gradual and steady increase in the size of the uterus from the normal 7 x 5 x 3 cm to a bigger 35 x 25 x 22 cm. The increase in size is about 5-6 times.
Size during first trimester
During the first trimester, the uterus is around the size of a grapefruit and starts to grow out of your pelvis even though it is still inside it. This is generally around the 12 weeks stage.
Size during second trimester
In the second trimester, the uterus grows to about the size of a papaya and no longer fits inside the pelvis and is somewhere between the navel and breasts.
Size during third trimester
Around the third trimester, the uterus is the shape of a watermelon and will extend from the rib cage to the pubic area.
Size after pregnancy
After pregnancy, the uterus will go back to its original shape inside the pelvis and this process is called involution and takes around 6 weeks to complete.
3. Measuring Uterus
Uterus cannot be measured up until 12 weeks of pregnancy as it is positioned within the pelvic cavity. Beyond 12 weeks it begins to be an abdominal organ when the fundus of the uterus can be palpated. There will be an upshift in the fundal height of the uterus during pregnancy week by week. This is useful to monitor the foetal growth and the amniotic fluid volume. Roughly the distance between the pubic bone and the fundus in centimetres correlates with the week of gestation up to 34 weeks. The examination is done in a lying down position with both the legs folded in the knees and relaxed abdomen.
The examiner tries to feel for the fundus with the sides of the palm. As a rough guide, at 12-14 weeks the fundus should be felt just above the pubic bone. At 20-22 weeks it will be felt at the naval. And at about 34-36 weeks it should reach the upper part of abdomen or the epigastric region. If the uterus is not at the desired height at that specific week, it means that it is either small for the age baby, or the volume of amniotic fluid is low.
Other way of measuring with more accuracy is the ultra sonography method that determines the size using sound waves.
4. Changes Inside the Uterus During Pregnancy
The growing size of the uterus is because of the foetus as well as increase in the actual tissue content and blood vessels in the uterus. Accordingly, the uterus dimensions will change as follows:
- Weight: 20-fold increase in the weight of the uterus (50 → 1000 grams)
- Volume: 1000-fold increase (4 → 4000 ml)
- Location: Uterus which is a strictly a pelvic organ until 12 weeks starts to become abdominal
- Blood flow: 10-fold increase (50 → 500 ml/min)
- Shape: Its shape changes from elongated to oval by the 2nd month, to round by 12 weeks, then back through oval to elongated at term.
Problems with Uterus During Pregnancy
There is a wide spectrum of abnormalities of the uterus that can affect pregnancy outcome, with mere variation of normal at one end of the spectrum and gross abnormalities affecting the functioning of the uterus at the other end. Of these some are congenital defects while some uterine problems may be acquired.
Abnormalities of Uterus in Pregnancy
Some common congenital uterine malformations include:
Name
Frequency of Occurrence reported among women surveyed
Condition
Unicornuate uterus
5%
Here, the uterus is half formed or half-sized, making it extremely hard for a pregnancy to occur
Uterine didelphyis
11%
Malformation where fusion of the Mullerian ducts do not occur. This results in double crevices, making it hard for pregnancy.
Bicornuate uterus
39%
Most common form of abnormality where there is a double uterus with a single vagina or cervix
Septate uterus
34%
Partial or incomplete longitudinal uterine cavity septum
Arcuate
7%
Slight deviation from a normally developed uterus
Hypoplastic
4%
Small and improperly formed uterus, and in some cases, no uterus at all.
Other common acquired uterine abnormalities:
1. Cervical incompetence
In this case the cervical opening or the orifices are unable to stay closed. As a result, it can lead to miscarriage during early pregnancy or preterm delivery if near the delivery date. You will experience vaginal bleeding or premature contractions.
It is treated by cervical en cerclage; as the name suggests is an encircling suture that is put across the cervix until full term in order to keep it closed.
2. Uterine synechiae - Asherman syndrome
Usually results from destruction of large areas of endometrium during a D&C procedure (Dilatation and curettage). This forms intrauterine adhesions that can cause infertility in women
3. Uterine leiomyomas (Uterine fibroids)
Non-cancerous growths in the woman’s uterus that can cause an extension of the size of the uterus in extreme cases.
4. Abnormal uterus position in body during pregnancy:
This can be of 4 types -
Anteflexion: Uterus is normally slightly anteflexed. As a relatively free-floating organ, the uterus tends to normally bend a little forward in the abdomen. There is an increase in the degree of this forward bend to some extent during early weeks of pregnancy. However, some women may have an unnaturally anteflexed uterus, such that it sometimes pushes against the bladder. Such a grossly anteflexed uterus may prevent proper transmission of labor contractions and may cause difficult and/or delayed labour.
Retroflexion: In this case, the uterus is bent backwards towards the spine. In this case, it usually pushes against the rectum. Symptoms include abdominal discomfort, pelvic pressure, and painful sex. If sever may cause difficult labour.
Sacculation: Persistent entrapment of uterus in the pelvis during pregnancy. It may lead to extensive dilatation in the lower part of the uterus to accommodate the foetus.
Uterine torsion: During pregnancy, the uterus rotates on its axis (mostly clockwise, rarely anticlockwise). A small degree of this rotation is normal. But in some rare cases, this rotation maybe more than 45 degrees. This is known as uterine torsion. Cases of upto 720-degree rotations have been recorded. Associated symptoms like obstructed labour, intestinal or urinary complaints, abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding may be observed. Both maternal and foetal complications are reported.
How Does an Abnormal Uterus Affect Your Pregnancy?
The uterine abnormalities, if not mild can have a significant negative impact on pregnancy. Here are some of the common complications that arise with an abnormal uterus:
Infertility
First- and second-trimester miscarriage
Malpresentation (Condition where there is an abnormal position of the foetus)
Foetal-growth restriction, foetal demise (leading to still-birth)
Preterm delivery because of prematurely ruptured membranes
Increased risk of an ectopic pregnancy, a condition where the embryo embeds itself outside the uterus, commonly in the fallopian tubes
Uterus pain during early pregnancy
Renal problems: 40 percent of women with unicornuate uterus aare likely to have renal (kidney-related) anomalies, and evaluation for these is needed.
Tips to Keep Your Uterus Healthy During Pregnancy
A healthy uterus means a healthy pregnancy. Following are some general guidelines:
1. Work
In the absence of complications, most women can continue to work until the onset of labor (American Academy of Paediatrics and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, 2012). Any occupation that subjects the pregnant woman to severe physical strain should be avoided. Ideally, no work or play should be continued to the extent that undue fatigue develops. Adequate amount of rest should be provided especially in a complicated case or if the woman has had complications in a previous pregnancy.
2. Exercise
In general, pregnant women do not need to limit exercise, provided they do not become excessively fatigued or risk injury. Unless specified by the doctor, pregnant women should be encouraged to engage in regular, moderate-intensity physical activity for 30 minutes or more a day.
3. Sea food consumption
Nearly all fish and shellfish contain trace amounts of mercury. Hence pregnant and lactating women are advised to avoid specific types of fish with potentially high methyl mercury levels. These include shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and tile fish. It's recommended that pregnant women ingest no more than 12 ounces or two servings of canned tuna per week and no more than 6 ounces of albacore or “white” tuna.
4. Travel
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (2010) has formulated guidelines for automobile passenger restraints use during pregnancy.
Women should be encouraged to wear properly positioned three-point restraints (seat-belt) throughout pregnancy while riding in automobiles.
The lap portion of the restraining belt should be placed under the abdomen and across the upper thighs.
The belt should be comfortably snug.
The shoulder belt also should be firmly positioned between the breasts.Available information suggests that airbags should not be disabled when there is a pregnant woman in the car.
In the absence of obstetrical or medical complications, pregnant women can safely travel by an airplane up to 36 weeks of gestation. Significant risks with travel, especially international travel, are infectious disease acquisition and development of complications by virtue of being remote from adequate resources. Make sure you are well-informed about these before choosing to travel internationally.
5. Coitus
In healthy pregnant women, sexual intercourse usually is not harmful. But it should be avoided whenever abortion, placenta previa or preterm labour threatens. Intercourse late in pregnancy specifically has not been found to be harmful. However, a case report described a fatal air embolism late in pregnancy as a result of air blown into the vagina during oral-vaginal intercourse. Proceed with caution.
6. Immunization
Most of the vaccines are contraindicated in pregnancy and not a routine unless as pre- or post-exposure prophylaxis in high risk mothers. But two highly recommended vaccines are: Tetanus for every mother (two injections), and Influenza in case of a flu outbreak.
7. Caffeine
It is unclear if caffeine consumption is associated with preterm birth or impaired foetal growth. The American Dietetic Association (2008) recommends that caffeine intake during pregnancy be limited to less than 300 mg daily, or approximately three 150ml cups of percolated coffee.
8. Backache
It can be reduced by squatting rather than bending when reaching down, by using a pillow back support when sitting, and by avoiding high-heeled shoes.
Thus, you can see the role that the uterus plays in pregnancy and how important it is for you to take care of it. Even if you are comfortable with the growing baby inside you, it is still recommended that you do not exert yourself as many factors could lead to complications. Read more

5 Minute Workout For Lazy Girls
https://youtu.be/wOc03MFmy4A
Tips to Lose Weight Fast and Easy
1. Low Carb Diet -Just Twice Every Week
As per a study, women scaling 1500 calories daily (across the week), and those on a low carbohydrate diet twice a week, lost up to 9lbs of weight. Why go the hard way with a no-freedom diet that makes you suffer hunger pangs and slip ups? One of the easy ways to lose fat is by withstanding your food cravings for just a couple of days per week, without over indulging in any way on ‘normal-eat’ days.
2. Ease Out Workouts
Experts helping you with how to lose weight the lazy way are also of the opinion that exercising with a lot of intensity, without giving yourself any recovery time, causes more harm than good. Go slow, so that your stress hormones, or cortisol, doesn't permit your system to hold on to unsightly belly fat. It’s also recommended that while performing high-intensity workouts, you should don a heart-rate (HR) monitor. Aim for 60 to 70 percent max HR during recoveries and 85 to 90 percent during intervals.
3. Keep a Pen Handy
Yet another lazy way to lose weight is by way of journaling all the food that goes into your digestive tract. To avoid boredom from setting in, write down your eats twice every week and once during the weekend. According to a study, wherein 220 women noted down all that they consumed at least thrice per week, it was noted that they ended up losing an average of 11 lbs across 18 months. Isn’t that cool!
4. Just 30 Minutes of Gym Time is Enough
Lady, we're sure that you'll also agree that this is the laziest way to lose weight. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen opine that those who worked out 30 minutes every day on a regular basis for three months weighed eight pounds lighter. In contrast, those working out an hour every day tipped the scale lower by just six pounds. So, just cut back on your gym time, store up more energy for other activities and burn even more calories. Alternately, studies have shown that your baby is helping you lose weight too.
5. Siestas Burn Calories Too
Those avoiding shut-eye moments often eat high-calorie stuff for remaining alert and awake. Easy ways to lose calories include taking short naps and not cutting down on your beauty sleep or siesta. Cravings for chops, chocolates and desserts shoot sky high with lack of sleep disturbing your brain's pathways. So, sleep when you need to!
These tips to get fit without any drama go a long way in helping you come back to your normal weight without trying too hard. Adopt these ways of losing weight without trying for it — you won’t be disappointed. Read more

Tips to Maintain Good Financial Security
Rising prices of commodities and services can take a toll on your finances. In these crunch situations, it's always wise and imperative to have an emergency fund that saves you on a rainy day. There are tips to improve your financial health, take heed.
Savings are important to secure your family’s future and give you a good night's sleep when the going gets tough. While living for the day may be a good mantra to follow, it can prove fatal in the long run. There are some ways to secure your financial health and make it prosper.
How to Maintain Your Financial Standing
1. Making a Debt List
Slashing your debt is a good thing, but it's not as easy as it sounds. If you have credit card bills to clear, it can be a huge task to complete. The first step is to make a list of your debts – in ascending order. When you know how much you owe, you can start saving to repay it. Also, avoid making more debts during the ‘repayment’ phase.
2. Budget, Budget, Budget
Yes, it's important to budget to secure financial health. A good budget is the basis to build a solid financial foundation. This doesn't mean that you can't go on a dinner date with your spouse or take the kids out for a movie. It only means that you set aside money for different purposes. Identify areas that can use a little cost-cutting and then stick to the schedule. It can really be tough to make a drastic change, but it'll be worth it in the end. There are financial tools online that can help you get started too, so look out for them and identify the cost-cutting areas.
3. Job Evaluation
You might have a job you love, but is it helping you secure your financial future? Assessing this fact will help you determine whether you require a change or not. You need to take into consideration your kids’ future, too. College admission and hostel fees are just some of the things that you'll be required to take care of. Ensuring that you're financially secure will help you plan your future better.
4. Curb Expenses
As a natural follow-up to budgeting, you need to also curb your expenses. While on a budget, you might want to spend more by habit. Hold back and take stock of your situation. There is no need to invest in a car or unnecessary electronic gadgets when there isn't a need. A secure financial future is worth more than short-term pleasures.
5. Savings
Saving money is essential and important. So, why is it the last point mentioned on the list? Well, it makes the maximum impact when mentioned at the end. You should keep aside at least 20% of your earnings as savings. When you start putting aside money, it makes all the difference down the line. A recurring deposit or PPF scheme is a great way to start. This is one of the best ways to keep your financial condition healthy.
When you have a set plan in place, saving becomes easy. When you're financially secure, you don't have to worry about uncertainties. While you are at it, a retirement fund for yourself is also a good idea!! Read more
