If your kids are anything like mine, they probably have a room full of toys to play with but complain they are bored. So you take them outside to play and that works great…until it rains. Then you’re back inside to endure more whining.
But fear not! Here is a list of fun indoor games that will keep your kids out of your hair for a while so you can get work done or even just put your feet up to relax!
- Bubble Bash
Bubbles and bubble wands are a staple item if you have children. Pull them out and have your kids see how many bubbles they can smash and bash!
- Balloon Tennis
Kids love balloons. Blow up a bunch of them and go one step further by taking some paper plates and turning them into rackets. Glue a Popsicle stick to the back of each plate and once those are dry, turn them over to your kids to play tennis with. It’s a great indoor sport that will keep them busy and keep them from breaking things. Win-win!
- Amazing Streamer Maze
Got leftover streamers from your last birthday party? Good! Use them to make fun mazes in the hallway. The object is for your kids to move carefully through the maze without touching the streamers. It’s easy to customize for each age group and no matter the age, kids love pretending to be secret stealthy spies!
- Paper Plate Ring Toss
Here’s another one utilizing paper plates! Cut out the center of some paper plates. Have the kids colors the resulting rings different colors while you make a post out of a cardboard paper towel roll and an uncut paper plate. Once it’s ready, have the kids throw the rings onto the post for endless fun!
- Pool Noodle Obstacle Course
Pool noodles are so much fun both in and out of the pool. On a rainy day, bring them inside and use them to create an ouch-less obstacle course!
- Hide And Seek
No equipment required here. Send your kids off to look for one another in this tried and true tradition game.
- Hallway Haunted House
It doesn’t need to be Halloween to have a spooky good time. Let your kids turn the hallway or the guest room into a scary haunted house. Give them some of the safer Halloween decorations and let them set it up. Be prepared to be scared when they invite you to check out their creation.
- Moving Target
And finally, try out my old family favorite, which we once called “Hit the Brother.” Gather all the pairs of socks you can find and roll them into balls. Then have one child dance about and dodge the oncoming barrage of socks. This one’s better for bigger kids and best if you relegate it to a room with nothing breakable but it is so much fun!
