Indoor games: 20 ideas to keep the kids entertained on a rainy day

Another rainy or bone-chilling day? We see you over there: Restless kids fidgeting on the couch, the clock ticking slower than usual, and you're fresh out of ideas for things to do. Well you've come to the right place. We have your back with this list of the best indoor games you haven't already tried.

1. Pencil-and-paper games

From Battleship to Sprouts, we’ve created a must-play list of pencil-and-paper indoor games that beat TV any day. Gather some pencils and paper and check out our best of pencil-and-paper games.

You don’t need a fancy building set for this. Popsicle stick cities, card towers, even buildings out of blocks, or indoor forts out of boxes or pillows, will do just fine. If you want to get competitive, whoever builds the highest tower wins. If your kids love building and want a more advanced set of blocks, check out these magnetic building sets (ages 3-99) your builders are sure to enjoy.

Be your kids’ very own Harry Houdini—without the locks, chains and water tanks, of course. Simply place a coin under one of three cups and shuffle the cups around. Then ask your children to guess which cup holds the coin. Sneaky parents can place the cups near the edge of a table and secretly drop the coin. Watch your tots’ eyes light up in amazement when they learn the coin is gone!

Card games are great for challenging young minds and creating hours of indoor fun. Grab a box of cards and check out our favourite traditional card games.

Exercise those creative, cognitive and problem-solving muscles with a good puzzle. You can use a store-bought variety or have the kids make their own. Have your children draw a picture on a sturdy piece of cardboard or Bristol board. Then use a pencil to outline puzzle pieces directly on their drawing. Cut out the pieces with a good pair of scissors, mix them up and get solving. Indoor games and craft in one fun activity!

Choose some of your kids’ favourite tunes and turn up the volume. Ask them to dance until the music stops. When it does, they have to freeze in whatever position they find themselves in – even if they have one leg up. To make the game more challenging, ask the kids to freeze in specific poses: animals, shapes, letters or even yoga postures. Toddlers in particular love this game.

The winner gets her very own gold medal! Make your own ribbons with this easy craft:

For a comprehensive list of the best of family indoor games from Nursery Rhyme Games and Candy Land to Clue, check out our handy list of top 20 family games.

This indoor game is ideal for larger groups — a sleepover favourite. Divide the kids up into groups. Give each group a bag filled with props, such as a spoon, toy jewelry, a sock, ball or ribbon. Then give them 15 minutes to construct a skit around the props. This game is so much fun that it doesn’t have to be competitive. If the kids want, though, they can all vote on a winning skit.

This schoolyard favourite is sure to be an indoor hit, too. Set up your hopscotch game on any floor surface. Masking tape will do perfectly to form the nine connecting squares. Boxes 1-3 will be placed in a single line, one on top of the other. The next two boxes (4, 5) will be placed side-by-side, followed by a single box (6), two more boxes (7, 8) and the final half-circle “home” base (9). Next, choose a marker, such as a coin, stone or beanbag. The first player will throw the marker into square 1 without letting it bounce or touch the lines. If successful, the player will then hop — one foot on single squares and two feet on side-by-side squares — avoiding square #1. The player may rest on “home” before hopping back. On the way back, he or she picks up the marker on square #1 and, if successful (lands within the lines, hops or jumps with proper footing, doesn’t fall), takes another turn and throws it into square #2. When the player is unsuccessful, the next player takes a turn. Players resume their turns by throwing the marker on the last box played. The winner is the first player to throw the marker home (#9), and smoothly complete the whole course.

While you have your masking tape out, why not make your own balance beam? We all know how much kids love walking in straight lines every chance they get. Put on some music, and one at a time the kids can take their turn walking one-foot-over-the-other across the straight line of tape. Make the game more challenging by having the kids walk backwards or balance with one foot on the line. We also love this beam to continue balancing practice with! It's challenging enough to help develop their gross motor skills but safe in elevation as they learn to navigate the beam.

No list of indoor games would be complete without Hide and Seek, now would it? In this classic game, one person (“It”) covers his or her eyes and counts aloud while the other players hide. When “It” is finished counting, he or she begins looking for the hiders. The last hider to be found is the next “It.” Warning: this game is often a source of giggle fits. Families with older children might want to take things up a notch and play Hide and Seek in the dark. Just to be safe, make sure there are no loose items on the floor. If you want, allow “It” to carry a flashlight or turn the lights on once “It” finishes counting.

Kids love finding hidden objects — especially when there’s a prize at the end. Simply write your clues on some slips of paper — get creative. Place the first clue somewhere easy to find, like inside your child’s snack or cereal bowl. Then leave as many clues as you like around the house, making a trail to the final clue. Instead of a prize, the treasure hunt can lead to various coins around the house. This way the kids get to collect all the coins and put them in their piggy banks in the end. If you want to create the most amazing treasure hunt, follow these 11 tips.

A great way to reuse water bottles (or you can purchase an indoor bowling set). Line six-10 water bottles up at the end of your hall or living room. Place a line of duct tape at the starting line. Grab a medium-sized indoor ball and start bowling! If you want, keep score and give out trophies at the end. (Note: if you need to stabilize the water bottles or make the game more difficult, simply fill them up with some water. Don’t forget to screw the tops on tightly!)

This game will have everyone giggling. Ask the kids to sit on the floor in a circle. Turn on some tunes and have them pass the potato (a bean bag or soft ball) around the circle as fast as they can. When the music stops, the player holding the potato leaves the circle. Keep going until only one player is left and wins the game.

Former preschool director and grandmother of three, Marsha Colla, has some innovative games up her sleeve, including this fun and simple verbal memory game, which, Colla says, “challenges the children and makes them giggle. ” To play, everyone sits in a circle. The first player says, “In my basket for the picnic, I packed...,” and then says what item he or she packed. The next player then says, “In my basket for the picnic, I packed...,” and then recites what the first player packed and adds his or her own item to the basket, and so forth.

One of Colla’s go-to indoor games for her preschoolers and grandchildren, this game is sure to both educate and delight little ones. Take out several miscellaneous items. Have the children look at all the items, and then take them away. Next, ask one child to hide his or her eyes and listen as you pick up an item and make sounds with it. Ask the child to guess which item made the sound. Examples of items might be a comb (run your fingers along it), a glass (gently tap it), cymbals, shakers, sandpaper, blocks rubbed together, a pot and spoon. Be creative and have fun!

You don’t have to go outside to enjoy bubbles. For this indoor game, you need a plate and straw for each player, some dishwashing soap and water. Place a dime-size drop of dish soap at the centre of each plate. Pour a little water onto the plate and gently mix with the dish soap until some suds start to form. Have the kids place the straw in the suds and blow very gently. Watch as massive bubbles start to form. To make this competitive, see who blows the biggest, or longest-lasting, bubble.

This traditional favourite will never get old. To start, choose one player (probably a parent for the first round) to be Simon. The rest of the players will gather in a circle or line in front of Simon as he calls out actions starting with the phrase “Simon says”: “Simon says...touch your toes.” The players then have to copy Simon’s action, touching their toes. If Simon calls out an action without uttering the phrase “Simon says,” the kids must not do the action. If a child touches his toes when Simon didn’t say. .., he or she is out of the game. There are lots of great ways Simon can trick players into doing actions when Simon didn’t say: Simon can perform an action without uttering a command, for example, or he can perform an action that doesn’t correspond with the command. Fun! The last player left in the game wins and becomes the next Simon.

Most preschoolers flock to the classroom sensory table as soon as the teachers pull it out. So there is little doubt they will love this entertaining challenge. Find a shoe box or any box that has a lid on it. Cut a hole in one of the sides of the box —large enough for your child to fit her hand in. If you want, get creative and decorate the box with glitter and question marks. When you’re ready to play, put an item inside the box and have your children guess what it is. They can ask questions about the item if they need to, or you can offer clues. Get as ooey-gooey as you wish (fresh pumpkin seeds or slimy spaghetti are great choices for Halloween), or use such simple objects as a brush, a toy, a piece of fruit. To make it competitive, you can give a point to the first child to name the object.

You can’t be too little for this version of basketball. All you need is a bucket and a rolled up sock (or a small, light ball). Each player takes a turn at throwing the sock-ball into the bucket. When a player scores a bucket, he or she takes a step back and throws again until missing. The player who shoots the ball in the bucket from the farthest distance wins.

Creative games for kids - Event Maker

Creative games for kids are interesting for kids of all ages. They develop the child's fantasy, imagination, teach him the creative ability to create something with his own hands. This will definitely come in handy in the future.

Creative play for children often uses tools and materials such as paints, pencils, plasticine, colored paper and cardboard, glue and scissors. But creative education is a broader concept, it includes the development of acting talent, and the degree of proficiency in verbal art, and figurative non-standard thinking, and invention. It is important to develop all this in the child as a whole, as this makes his personality richer and brighter. Creative games for children are an important part of the game program for any child.

Such games are good for developing imagination and creativity, creative thinking in children. The game atmosphere gives it excitement and competitiveness. Creative games for children contribute to the comprehensive and harmonious development of children at any age!

Joint creativity

All children sit in a circle. Everyone has a piece of paper and a pencil or marker. On a signal, everyone starts to draw. As soon as the music stops, everyone finishes drawing and passes their started drawing around. At the next signal, the children need to continue the drawing that everyone received until the next signal sounds. This can be continued until the sheets return to their owners in a circle. Now let's see what happened? It is better to play this game to the music - while the music is playing, the children draw, when it stops, the children pass on the drawings.

Postcard

Try to draw a birthday card with your children. Bright felt-tip pens, glitter glue, stickers, pencils, etc. will come in handy. Give free rein to creativity, and you can suggest a theme and wishes for the birthday man: a smiling sun, a blue sky, unusual flowers and animals, a birthday man in a clearing with friends. These postcards can remind the child of a joyful event for many years to come.

Continuing the story

Although it may not sound like much, this game is amazing in that it makes people laugh and use their imagination. You will need a piece of paper and a pen. Start with a funny opening phrase and then fold the paper over so you can't see what's written there. Then pass to the first participant and ask him to write a few lines of the story, then also tuck the sheet so that you can not see what is written there. After that, the story is passed to the next participants in a circle, each writing a few lines. When everyone has written, read the story aloud to the whole group. Laughter and fun are guaranteed!

Building a castle

In this game, children are given a constructor, cubes, etc., and in the allotted time they must build the most beautiful castle or the highest. Children can build one by one or in teams.

Creation of a single art object

An art object is some kind of work of art, in the creation of which all guests of the holiday participate. For example, one huge New Year's coloring book for everyone. It needs to be mounted on the wall or placed in a frame. You yourself will not notice how in a few hours a large canvas will turn into a colored congratulatory poster.

Theatrical Competition

Competitors who wish are given cards with a task that they perform without preparation. It is necessary to walk in front of the tables as: - a woman with heavy bags; - gorilla in a cage; — Sparrow on the roof; - stork in the swamp; - chicken in the yard; - a girl in a tight skirt with high heels; - sentry guarding the food warehouse; - an infant who has just learned to walk; - a guy in front of an unfamiliar girl; - Alla Pugacheva during the performance of the song. You can also easily come up with your own options, or ask the participants to come up with their own!

Master classes

You can also arrange fun creative workshops. It can be like painting something, for example, pebbles or angels. You can create mandalas, motanka dolls, etc. All participants can be divided into teams or every man for himself, the smallest will need the help of the elders.

Burime

Back in the 19th century, the game of Burime was popular among family and friends. Participants were asked several rhymes, which had to compose a poem in a certain time. This is not so difficult, although it requires certain skills and a sense of poetic rhythm. But the resulting poems, for sure, will become the decoration of your home album.

Changelings

This game is very simple, but at the same time it requires humor and ingenuity. Its essence is as follows: you need to take any well-known phrase (an aphorism, a line from a poem or song, a proverb) and replace all the words contained in it with opposite ones in meaning.

Here are a few examples: 1. Fifty-four - a man for the first time a tomato. (Forty-five - woman berry again). 2. A man on skis - it’s hard for a deer. (A woman with a cart is easier for a mare). 3. A smart ostrich bravely takes skinny thoughts out of the pit. (Stupid penguin timidly hides a fat body in the rocks). You can compose shifters in teams. The winner, of course, is the one whose shifters are funnier and wittier.

Actors

Depict: an alarmed cat, a person who unsuccessfully kicked a brick, a kettle boils, etc. 2 teams participate. The winner is the team that played their roles most artistically

Favorite hero

The game consists in portraying your favorite hero. It could be a character from a movie. One depicts, and the rest try to guess who he shows. This game is very fun. For example, some frail kid, subdued by the talent of Arnold Schwarzenegger, tries his best to portray him. All in all, it's worth playing.

Construction toys

This toy has an age limit of one year. However, for this, sets were created by age groups. For the smallest, the details of the designer are enlarged and have a greater effect on fine motor skills and tactile sensations. But for older children, suitable designers help to think outside the box, develop spatial thinking and creativity.

Folk tale

Number of players: any. The host starts the fairy tale (comes up with the first sentence), and the participants sequentially add one sentence at a time, adhering to the plot of the fairy tale. Who hesitated - out of the game. And the winner is the one with the most inexhaustible fantasy. He is awarded the title of "Best Storyteller".

Draw a word

One person from each team draws a word and starts drawing it. The first team to correctly guess the word wins

If the drawing is completed but the word is not guessed, then the other participant completes the work of the “artist”. Immediately agree not to shout out, but to give an answer signal: a raised hand, a raised flag, etc. This game is very popular in elementary school, because it adds variety to the monotonous memorization of words

I'm going to sing now

We put folded pieces of paper with different words written on it in a bag or hat. Participants take turns taking out a piece of paper, reading a word and singing a verse with this word.

Step 1. Prepare pieces of paper with words Step 2. Participants take out a piece of paper Step 3. Sing a verse of any song with this word

Picture letter

Variant of the previous competition.

The task of the players is to “write” a short letter using pictures. The conditions are the same: do not use numbers, letters and words in the drawing.

Message options:

• Call me today at 6 o'clock
• Let's go play football in the evening
• Come visit for tea and cake
• Give me pencils for my birthday

Depending on the age of the players, you can come up with tasks of varying complexity.

Tree of life

Invite the children to draw the tree of their life as follows:

• Root - the purpose and meaning of your life;
• Trunk - your idea of ​​yourself;
• Branches - qualities that you would like to have, your dreams and desires;
• Fruits - qualities that you already have, fulfilled dreams and desires;

Discuss the trees of life with the children, identifying common trends and drawing conclusions. Try to lead the children to the idea that what is the purpose of our life, such are its fruits.

From another planet

Ask your child to draw an animal or plant from another planet. Imagine what it is called, what it might look like, what to eat and what benefits it can bring to the planet. Other options: a fairy forest, a kind wizard, a house from the future.

Fashionistas

Girls do all kinds of hairstyles for each other in a certain amount of time. After that, they line up in a row, and an independent jury, pre-selected, chooses the hairstyle he likes. At the same time, the jury does not know who did what hairstyle and chooses the hairstyle you like

On the shore, draw a few pebbles (5-6) of different shapes. Each pebble should be similar to several different objects, animals, people. There may be several pebbles of the same shape.
You tell a child that a magician has just walked along the seashore and bewitched, turned everything that was on the coast into pebbles. To disenchant everything, you need to guess what is here.
Help me come up with several options for each pebble. After the child's answer, choose one of the options and, together with it, draw a "pebble" so that you get a complete image of the invented object.

It is important here that the baby begins to learn to consider the phenomena and objects around him from different, opposite points of view.

16. "Good and bad"

The game develops the ability to find contradictions and opposite properties in the same object, to look at an object from different points of view, teaches versatility. After all, the ability to find contradictions is the basis of paradoxical thinking. The ability to compare opposite properties of objects reveals the most unexpected aspects of objects and phenomena.

3. Sleep, walk in the forest, climb mountains, eat;
4. Exercise, wash your face, drink medicine;
5. Glass, iron, plate, knife.

And the bad, because sometimes it is too hot in summer, you can get burned in the sun, etc. The fire is good, because it warms, heats up food, burns fallen leaves, and bad, because it burns the skin, causes fires. Knife: good because it can cut food, but bad because the knife can cut fingers.
