Best Indoor Games for Kids of Different Ages

Hello dear readers! Nice to meet you on my blog!

Today I want to tell you useful stories through my personal exchange with my four-year-old son and his friends. In the summer, our family left the metropolis and lived in a new country house on the banks. Our four-year-old son on the river made friends aged six to ten. Usually, after swimming in the river, all the kids will play different games in our garden. The weather turned bad and it started to rain. The children from the garden moved into our house. They ran, jumped, fought, rolled, then picked up their pens and began to show off their artistic creativity. Then I thought that there must be outdoor games that can be played indoor and could save the day. So, here are some best kids indoor games that you can play with your kids.

Games from 5 to 13 years

Pirate treasure

Everyone agrees to play together. Among all the competitors, the admiral and pirates were chosen. All other participants are called “herd”.

The crew sat in a circle with a pirate in the middle, and next to them their sea stones were exposed to the treasure (you can use any toy). Blindfolded pirate. Admiral calmly touched all the players who had to climb into the pirates’ hands and remove their treasures. The pirates listened to the rattling and reached the climbing plants quickly. If their directions were the same, the Admiral shouted “Get out” and the treasure hunter found nothing. He is considered a loser and no longer participate in the game. Players trying to catch the treasure become pirates. The last person with the treasure wins.

Magic chain

All participants in the game sit on mats on the floor and use the reading room to select the leader. The host asks the player to suggest words that start with the letter A, etc. You can name the letters alphabetically. The prize is awarded to those who have mentioned the most words throughout the game. This calculation is performed by an adult present.

These games develop skills, flexibility, caution, thinking and thinking. Suitable for children from 5 to 9 years.

From 4 to 7 years

Listen to pops

I really love kids and this sports game. The participants in the game chose the manager as such a calculator:

• One two three four five.
• We have to play.
• Forty for us
• And ordered you to drive.

The host’s music is magnificent, and all the players move quietly around the room. The essence of this game is: if the leader hits once in the palms, all players will adopt a hedgehog position (standing on one leg with arms on both sides). With two flaps, the player takes a dog position (they are four and trying to put their legs on the palms). Each person hits the cat with three flaps (they stand together, lean, raise their chin). The host may not be able to cheer continuously.

The game improves the accuracy and speed of reactions, attention, flexibility and athletic ability of children. Suitable for children from 4 to 7 years.

Colour signals

In this game, we cut three circles 20 cm in diameter from the cardboard and draw them with green, yellow and red (as traffic lights).

Game host, we chose a score:

• One two three four!
• The mouse lives in the apartment.
• They drink tea, make cups,
• Pay three!
• Who will not pay,
• Then drive.

As the leader climbed into the green circle, the children began to run back and forth, shouting and sounding. As the boss picked up the yellow circle, the children walked slowly and whispered. If the boss occupies the red circle, the children remain silent, moving and not even moving. Whoever does not follow these rules loses.

6 to 15 years old

Then we have more active activities for children from 7 to 12 years old.

Cockerels

Develop coordination of movement and skills in children. The size of this mat can be placed on the floor, allowing players (any number in the game) to move freely.

All players stand on the mat and grab one foot from behind. The player jumps on one leg and tries to drop his opponent off the mat with his shoulders and upper body. The player’s hand is not involved in this match.

These people stand on the mats, stand or pull out of the game. The guys must behave properly, peacefully and without aggressiveness in this game. The last one left is the winner.

Pike and ducklings

Very portable and suitable for children of all ages. Use a rope to create a circle (lake) approximately 2 feet in diameter in the floor space. Choose one manager and another player (Parker). Place the spear in the centre of the circle and second in the middle (along the shore). As per the requirements of the swim competition, the ducks jumped out into the lake to allow swimmers to move. If the owner reports “Pike,” all the ducks will run ashore. Whoever catches Pike leaves the game. The last duck caught is the winner.

After a short musical dance performance, the dancers offer fun games for all ages.

Dragon tail

All players stand side by side (looking at the back of the head of a standing neighbour) and holding their shoulders.

The first player on the team is the dragon head, and the last on the team is the dragon’s tail. The most important thing is to do your best to grab the tail, but the dragon’s body must be inseparable. As soon as the head grabbed the tail, it immediately became the tail and the other player on the team became the head. The game continues until each participant in the game visits their head and tail.
