Games to Play with Kids Indoors
Let’s suppose that the kids we are talking about here are in the age group of 3-6 years. The games given below are meant for this age group. Here are some indoor games to play with kids. Just remember that any game will work out great if you have the knack to draw the kid into the game.
I Spy
This one is perfect for a rainy day. You know how it goes, “I spy with my little eye something beginning with the letter ‘C’” and then the guessing begins. The faster either of you guess, that much more you score. Make dramatic mistakes and watch the kid get into splits of laughter.
Puzzles and Blocks/Clay
Just bring out any puzzles, building blocks or clay and start a marathon session of an afternoon full of fun. You can even have some card games for kids to play.
Coloring and Activity Books
Simple and highly entertaining. Praise the kid for his/her coloring skills when they display any and you will have a fan for life.
Bed Sheet Tents
