16 Indoor and Outdoor Group Games for Preschoolers

Need some ideas for group games to play with preschoolers and kindergarteners that are also educational?

Children learn best through play and games are a great way to work on building foundational skills.

These are great for small groups on a playdate or to play with your preschool class. They are separated into indoor and outdoor games, depending on where you choose to play. 

Your kids will love these 16 fun group games for preschoolers.

Some of these are active indoor games for preschoolers, while others are quiet, calming games to play indoors.

Active games are great for building gross motor skills and quiet ones also have many benefits – improving concentration, listening skills, problem-solving abilities, etc.

Simon Says is a classic game that can be altered to fit your particular needs. It can be an indoor game or an outdoor game.

With small children, you as the parent will usually be Simon.

To play Simon Says, the person who is chosen as Simon gives a set of commands and the children must follow them.

When you want the children to follow the command, begin by saying ‘Simon Says. ’ When you don’t want them to follow, only say the command.

If a child still carries out the command, without you saying, ‘Simon Says,’ he is out of the game. The last person standing is the winner.

You can make this game as easy or as difficult as needed to suit the children. You could also nominate the winner to play Simon next.

Because this game is so versatile, it has numerous benefits for children. It builds both their gross motor skills as well as fine motor skills. ‘Simon Says’ can also teach skills such as balance and crossing the midline.

In addition to physical skills, kids learn listening skills and develop a great vocabulary as well. By playing the role of Simon, they will also learn to communicate and lead others.

Here are 70 Simon Says commands kids will love.

Broken Telephone is a quiet game best played indoors. The rules go as follows:

• Start by sitting in a circle.
• One person begins and whispers a sentence into the ear of the person next to them.
• That person then passes the message on to the next person.
• Once it reaches the last person in the circle, she says the sentence out loud.

The goal of the game is to send the message, intact, all the way around the circle.

This game is great for learning listening skills. It can also help your children interact and gain social skills with their peers as well. Children also learn sound recognition as they try to listen to what the person is whispering.

It is also loads of fun as the message often gets ‘broken’ on the way and leads children into fits of laughter!

Another great quiet game to play with your preschoolers includes some clapping. Choose to either tell a story or read a book. Then, whenever you say a particular word or phrase throughout the story, the children must clap each time they hear it.

As with the previous game, this is another great game to help kids develop sound recognition and listening skills. It will also aid in their language development as well.

A touch-and-feel box is another fun activity for your kids. First, collect some items that have unique textures. Then, put them in a box or a bag you can’t see through.

Go around the room and have everyone quietly touch and feel one of the items. Once everyone has had a turn, have them share what they think is in the bag.

See how many children guessed an item correctly.

The Touch and Feel Box is a great way to build their language. They have to connect their senses to words to describe what they are feeling.

I Spy can be played both indoors and outdoors. The rules go as follows:

• One person picks an object in the room.
• Then, they say, “I spy with my little eyes, something …” followed by the colour of their object.
• The rest of the group takes turns guessing what that object could be.
• The person can only answer yes or no.

This game is great for thinking but also for socializing. It gets the children to talk to each other and develops their social skills. They also have to listen to hear what the colour is and what other people are guessing as well.

Musical Chairs really helps children learn to let go and have fun with other kids.

Start by putting chairs in a circle. There should be one less chair than the number of children playing.

Once the music begins, everyone walks around the chairs. When the music stops, everyone must find a chair to sit in. The person without a chair is out of the game. For each round, remove another chair.

The game continues until there is only one chair left. Whoever sits in the last chair, wins.

This game teaches your children great listening skills. They also have to multitask, walk while listening to music, and at the same time try to get to the closest chair.

They can also develop balance and speed while trying to get to the chair first.

Red Light, Green Light is a game your children will love to play. It can be played indoors or outdoors as well.

One player stands in the front of the room while the rest are on the opposite side. When that person turns their back and says, “green light,” everyone tries to reach that person first, moving as quickly as they can.

When that person turns around and says, “red light,” everyone has to freeze and not move at all. If anyone moves after, “red light” is called, they must go back to the start line. The first person to touch the caller wins the game.

This game improves physical skills such as speed, balance and gross motor skills. Children also practise their listening skills.

While the other games don’t necessarily require a specific number of people, this game does. You will need at least 14 players. However, if you have less, then you can always adapt to fit your needs. This game is well suited to the classroom. 

To begin, seven children go to the front of the room. The rest put their heads on their desks and their thumbs up. The seven children go around and touch only one thumb of their classmates and push it down.

Once they finish, they return to the front. One calls out, “heads up, seven up.” Those who had their thumbs touched stand up and try to guess who touched their thumb.

If they are correct, they get to switch places with the person. If not, the game continues as normal.

This game helps your children to interact with one another. They will develop great social skills and learn the names of their classmates. If you have less than 14, you can always adapt and have fewer people in the front.

Button, Button, Who’s got theButton is another quiet game to play indoors with a group of children. Everyone sits in a circle with their hands out, and their eyes closed.

One person takes a button and goes around the circle pretending to put the button in everyone’s hands. The person will put the button in one person’s hands.

Once they finish with the circle, everyone opens their eyes and tries to guess who has the button. Once the group finally guesses who has the button, they get to go around the circle to give it to someone else.

This is a great game to help the children interact and learn more about each other. They will also strengthen their social skills.

Here are seven outdoor games for kids.

These are great learning games for preschoolers to play and interact with each other. They also make good group movement activities.

Before you take your children outside, prepare a list of things you want them to look for. You can print off a picture of each item for them to identify outside.

You can then let them go together in small groups or all at once, trying to find each item on the list.

This will get your children to interact and develop social skills while also having a good time in nature and learning about the outdoors.  

Every child loves to play Hopscotch. Follow these guidelines to play with a group of preschoolers:

• With some sidewalk chalk, make a hopscotch grid with the numbers 1-9.
• Find a rock for the kids that is easy to toss and will stay in place.
• Start by tossing the rock on square 1.
• Then jump over the square, and continue hopping on each square until you come back to square one.
• Pick up the rock then hop on square 1.
• In your next turn, toss the rock to square 2 and repeat.
• If your toss isn’t on the right square, you have three chances to get it into the right square or you miss your turn.

Hopscotch will teach your children many great physical skills. They will develop their gross motor skills as well as their fine motor skills. They will learn better balance as they hop on each square.

Jump rope is another fun outdoor activity to play with your group of preschoolers. Start by finding a larger jump rope than normal. Have two people swing the rope, each holding one end.

You can jump rope however your kids prefer. They can begin with the rope held still or jump into it while it’s moving. You can say a rhyme as they jump or have the other children count each other’s jumps.

Jump rope can develop physical skills such as balance, strength and coordination, as kids have to learn to jump at the right time.

Tag is a very active outdoor game your kids will love. It is a great chasing game to get them moving.

There are many variations to tag. Simply have one person be “it.” They then have to tag someone else. Then that person becomes “it.”

You can also play freeze tag – once they are tagged, they must freeze in place until a teammate unfreezes them.

Tag is a great way to have your children make new friends and develop their social skills. They will also strengthen their physical skills as well as their speed.

Red Rover is another great active outdoor game. Start by dividing your group into two teams. Then, have them get in a line and hold hands.

Space the two teams out about 20 feet or so from each other. Then, each team must take turns saying, “red rover, red rover, let … come over.” That particular person then has to leave their line and run to the next line.

They should run as fast as they can and try to break apart the other team’s line. If they break through, they return to their original team along with someone from the line they just broke. If they do not break through, they have to stay in that team’s line.

This game is good for speed and strengthening, as well as for teaching kids to work together with others.

The Hot Potato Game, or Volleyball, can be played inside as well as outside; however, it is safer to play outside.

Toss an inflatable ball to one person. They have five seconds or less to toss it to someone else in the circle. If they don’t, they are out of the game.

You can change things up as well to make it more suitable to fit your children’s needs. For example, you can ask them to call out the name of the person to who they are throwing the ball in order to strengthen friendships and unity in the group.

This game will help develop social interaction skills as well as good physical skills including crossing the midline, catching, balancing, etc.   

Duck, Duck, Goose can be played inside or outdoors, but is easier outdoors. If it is a beautiful day outside, go enjoy the sunshine and nature.

Have everyone sit in a circle. Choose one person to be “it.” This person walks around the outside of the circle, touching each person on the head and saying either “duck” or “goose.”

If they say “duck,” they continue to the next person. If they say “goose,” that person must stand up and start chasing the person.

If the person who was “it” runs around the entire circle and sits down, they are safe, and the next person becomes “it.” If the person who is chasing tags them, they must repeat the circle again.

Duck, Duck, Goose is a fun social game as children get to interact with everyone in the circle. It will also help them develop speed and spatial awareness as they chase around the circle.

And there you have it. I hope you’ll enjoy playing these fun preschool group games. Read more about the many benefits of outdoor games for kids.

Fun games in kindergarten - Kindergarten and child

This article contains fun games in kindergarten. The games were prepared by Natalya Prishchepenok, a methodologist at the Kirov Children's and Children's Educational Institution. Illustration by Anna Lukyanova.

Kindergarten fun game "Guess the syllable"

This is an active fun game that can be played in the kindergarten on a walk or in the gym. The main thing is that the players have a flat surface under their feet. nine0003

Any fun game in kindergarten is not just for fun, it sets a number of developmental goals and objectives.

The purpose of the fun game "Guess the syllable" is to train children's attention, ability to listen and take actions only after they understand what is being said. Also during this fun game in kindergarten, children get acquainted with new words and concepts. Each time, giving the teams words, the teacher should ask the children if they know the meaning of a particular word, and if not, introduce the children to an unfamiliar concept. nine0003

A line is drawn on the floor or on the ground, along which the players stand. Up to twenty people can play, divided into two teams. You need to stand up as follows: the toe of one leg is at the line, the second leg is slightly behind.

The task of the team members - having heard his word, which the leader will say, cross the line and hit someone from the other team. Then everything is repeated from the beginning.

Words can be different, meaning that each time both pairs of words begin with the same syllables. Each pair of words can be repeated five or six times. The host pronounces the word, deliberately stretching the first syllable to give the game intrigue and interest the children. Before each change of words, the leader agrees with the teams who will have which word. nine0003

Examples of word pairs: cow - crown, butterfly - grandmother, camel - helicopter, plane - scooter, cheburek - Cheburashka, transition - pass, dam - carpenter, change - break, desert - emptiness, ball - scarf, mittens -

Fun game for kindergarten "Dandelions"

Fun game "Dandelions" is held in kindergarten to develop children's coordination, develop attention.

Up to twenty people can participate in the fun game "Dandelions". All children stand in a circle. The right palm is raised up, and the index finger of the left hand is placed on the neighbor's open palm. nine0003

The facilitator says that everyone is now becoming a dandelion, and dandelions have this feature: when the sun is shining, their flowers are open, and if it starts to rain, all the flowers are closed. The left hand of all the players symbolizes the bee, which must be sure to quickly fly away from the flower when it closes so that it does not close in a dandelion.

If the leader says: “Sun”, all palms are open, and the “bee” fingers of each are on the palm of the player on the left. When the host says: “Rain”, everyone should close their palms and try to simultaneously catch the neighbor’s finger with their right palm, and quickly remove their finger from the neighbor’s palm on the left to prevent him from catching it. nine0003

This fun game always brings excitement. You can also play it for the winner: each time those who are caught leave the circle.

Fun game for kindergarten “What do you take with you?”

This fun game can be played standing or sitting in a circle. The leader tells each player where he is going. The player must say which item he will take. The subject must begin with the same letter as the place where the player is going. For example:

- You go to the cinema and take with you ...

— Envelope.

- You go to the theater and take with you ...

- Cake.

Anyone who cannot name a word starting with the corresponding letter is out of the game.

Second option. The players throw the ball to each other, saying where to go. The one to whom the ball was thrown catches it and says that he takes it with him. Then he throws the ball to the next player.

For example:

- You go to school and take with you ...

- Chocolate.

— You go to kindergarten and take with you…

- Bag.

This fun game for kindergarten always brings joy to the children.

A modification of this fun kindergarten game is the Knock-Knock-Knock Train Game.

Fun game for kindergarten "Tuk-tuk-tuk"

All players stand in a circle. The host goes in a circle with the words: “Tuk-tuk-tuk, the engine makes a cheerful sound!”. After that, the train stops in front of someone and the host announces: "Station ...", pronouncing the name of the city. The one in front of whom the train stopped says: “I take with me ...”, naming an object whose name begins with the same letter as the name of the station. He then joins the train, becoming a trailer, and they continue to walk in circles together. This continues until all participants in the game join the train..

Fun game for kindergarten “A walk in the zoo”

Children are divided into two teams. Each team has the task of pulling out a figurine of an animal from a box or bag and depicting it in such a way that the other team guesses what kind of animal it is. You can show animals individually. When showing, you need to depict the characteristic features of animals.

A variant of this fun game is the animal relay race. Teams pull animals out of the bag at the same time and, at the command of the host, move to the finish line in the same way as these animals move. Sounds cannot be produced. nine0003

Animal examples: frog, hare, cat, deer, horse, bear, snake, fox, tortoise, squirrel, chicken.

Variant of the game: one team, having taken an animal out of the bag, depicts how it moves, and the second team, having guessed this animal, voices it, imitating the voice of the animal. This game can also be paired and individual.

Fun game for kindergarten "Singing Zoo"

The game develops creativity.

Task - sing (grunt, croak, hum, etc.) a famous song in the voice of an animal. nine0003

The task can be executed individually or by commands. The animal, with the voice of which the children will sing, can be pulled out of the bag, as in previous games - in the form of a toy.

Fun game for kindergarten "Chorus from the Zoo"

The game develops attention, the ability to hear. Everyone is divided into groups of three. Everyone in the group thinks of some kind of animal (or the leader whispers the names of animals in everyone's ear). Then, at the signal of the host, all together in a trio loudly make sounds with which the hidden animal “talks”. Everyone else guesses which animals were guessed. And so each group in turn. nine0003

A more complex version - the sounds are made not by one group, but by several.

Fun game for kindergarten "Logic chain"

The game develops logical thinking, creative imagination, enriches vocabulary. In the game, children learn to build sentences, argue their point of view.

Both two teams and children divided into pairs can play.

Each team makes a chain of objects, and the other team explains how these objects are sequentially connected to each other. Then the teams change. The same process occurs in pairs. The explanation may be similar to a logically built story, or it may be based solely on the description and parameters of objects. For example, a toy dog ​​is made of the same material as a toy apple - plastic. The car is the same color as the apple - red. The doll is also plastic, and her dress is red. The cube is square, like the body of the typewriter. nine0003

There may be a creative logical explanation. For example: on the table there are a toy dog, an apple, a car, a doll, a cube lined up in a row. The explanation can be, for example, this: the owner of the dog loves to eat apples and always takes them with him when he walks the dog. Apples are brought to the store by a car. And next to the store that sells apples, there is a toy store that sells dolls and blocks.

Do not limit children with any rules and algorithms for finding a logical connection between objects, let them think for themselves. This game will also be a little diagnostic - during it you can see how children think, who has more figurative thinking, and who has practical. nine0003

Fun game for kindergarten “Find the object”

The purpose of the game is to study or repeat letters, enrich vocabulary, develop the ability to act quickly on a task.

Can be played indoors and outdoors.

Task — within a certain time to find in the kindergarten for a group or in the area objects whose names begin with the letter that the host calls. Everyone must either bring an item or go up to it and show it to the host, naming this item. nine0003

Fun game for kindergarten "Guess the details"

Task - Guess the object by one of its details drawn in the picture or presented in the photograph.

You can play both in teams and individually. The game develops observation, attention and imaginative thinking.

Examples of items:

Bicycle (you can show the handlebar)

Cat (tail)

Car (headlight, wheel or steering wheel)

You can also show the children pictures of birds. nine0003

Examples of birds: sparrow, crow, swan, duck, black grouse, partridge, thrush, dove, parrot, rook, hen, oriole, penguin (because it doesn't fly at all, it can bring a fun animation to the game).

In this city today, everyone ... (names some action). All other players perform this action. For example, dancing, jumping and so on. The leader evaluates the quality of the task and chooses the one who liked him more than the others. This person becomes the new leader.

The leader calls the numbers of the players, they run to the line with the flags, run around the flags and come back. The team in which the player runs faster than the players of the other teams wins. nine0003

An advanced version for children who can count to ten.

The host first sets an arithmetic example within ten. Children solve it, get an answer. The person whose number matches the answer of the example is running.

Option for children who can count within a hundred.

The host calls two-digit numbers, the players run in twos, those whose numbers are included in the named number. Also, the presenter can set examples, where the answer is two-digit numbers. nine0003

Fun game for kindergarten “Drive”

All children sit on chairs and pretend to drive a car, saying all the words in chorus: “We are driving, we are driving a car, how fast the tires are rushing! Suddenly we saw a sign! Explain what to do? As?".

After these words, the facilitator shows the children some kind of road sign, one of those that are studied in the classes on the rules of the road in kindergarten. Children explain who and what should do, if there is this sign.

In this game, it is very convenient to use the educational games "Road Signs", "Laws of Streets and Roads", "ABC of Safety" and demonstration materials "Observe traffic rules", "Signs on the roads". nine0003

Two teams can participate in this game: one is “drivers” and the other is “pedestrians”. It's great if the kindergarten has a specially equipped area for learning the rules of the road, then the game can take place there.

Fun game for kindergarten "Getting Together"

The game develops attention, the ability to hear others, to act in a team.

Everyone stands in a circle, the host passes behind the circle and in each ear, so that others do not hear, calls some literary or cartoon character. There should be so many options for heroes that they make up several groups of three to five people. nine0003

Then the facilitator explains that all the same characters should get together in a group, but without naming themselves, but by saying some phrases that they say in a literary work. Alternatively, you can say these phrases in the ear of the players, but this will slow down the pace of the game.

For example:

Wolf from the cartoon "Just you wait!" - the phrase "Well, hare, wait a minute!".

Cat Matroskin from the work "Uncle Fyodor, Dog and Cat" - the phrases "Moustache, paws and tail - these are my documents!", "And I can even use a typewriter ... And embroider with a cross." nine0003

Little jackdaw from the same place - the phrase "Who's there?".

Cat Leopold - the phrase "Let's live together!".

Fox Alice from the fairy tale "The Golden Key or the Adventures of Pinocchio" - the phrase "Poor Pinocchio!".

Winnie the Pooh from the fairy tale "Winnie the Pooh and all-all-all" - the phrases "Who visits in the morning, he acts wisely!", "These are the wrong bees!", "Both of them, and you can without bread. "

Piglet from the same work - the phrase "It seems it's going to rain!".

Donkey Eeyore - the phrase "And it goes in and out, it comes out great!". nine0003
