## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
Here's a photo of toys we already own. My kids are [KIDS AGES, e.g. 5, 9 and 11] and right now they need something [ENERGY LEVEL, e.g. calm and quiet before dinner]. We have [TIME AND SPACE, e.g. 30 minutes in the living room].

Look closely at what's in the photo and invent 4 games that use only these toys plus normal household items. For each game give me: a fun name, the goal, simple rules a [YOUNGEST AGE, e.g. 5]-year-old can follow, how to keep score, and one twist to make it harder for the older kids. Include at least one game where the kids work as a team instead of competing. Keep the setup under 5 minutes and make cleanup part of the game.
```

## Step by step

1. Take a clear photo of one toy pile or bin.
