Big family (summer learning journey day 3 week 1)

Big family

In the 1800s, most families had a big family im talking about seven to nine kids. Today i'm going to be talking about the time when I was living in a house with about seven other kids. 

One year ago I was living with my 2 brothers, 5 cousins, my niece, my aunt, my uncle and my Mum and Dad thats a lot of people can you do the maths?

The house we were living in had three bedrooms one of them were my Mums and Dads room they got the medium sized room . The second one was my uncles and aunts room they got the biggest sized room. And my oldest cousin, (age 18) his girlfriend and my baby niece had the smallest sized room. I know what you're thinking where do all the other kids sleep? Well i'm kinda embarrassed to say but we slept in the lounge. There were pros and cons about sleeping in the lounge like you have to share a single bed with like three kids and they would always talk so it was hard to go to sleep. The pros about sleeping together is that you will always feel safe.

When there was a cleaning job to do like doing the dishes, folding the washing, hanging the washing and cleaning up the ground it was really easy because there were so many of us kids so we would take shifts cleaning or we would all clean together. 

Playing games was one of my favorite things to do when you have a big family. You can play many games like go home stay home, bang, zip, somakalo, hide and go seek and my old favorite tag.  When you have a big family it's more fun when your playing games the more the merrier right?
