Flag of Me

This is a useful "quiet" ice-breaking activity for groups of older children. The finished flags also make a fabulous early display for the classroom, before the term's work goes up on the walls!

Simply print off one of our "flag of me" pages for each child and sit them down with some colouring pencils. Ask them to design their own flag - something that suggests what their interests are, where they come from, what they believe in etc.

They might include:

• Their favourite colours, animals, sport
• Their families or pets
• An outline of their country of origin, or their parents'
• Languages they speak
• Places they have visited or want to visit
• etc

Give the children 15-20 minutes to get creative with their flags, then ask them to stand up, one by one, holding up their flags and explaining the design to the other children.

You may need to prompt the shy child.

Finding Flowers

This is a simple, old-fashioned game for younger children.

Two children with joined hands stand opposite each other, and the rest form a ring and pass under the raised hands, while they repeat,

"We're seeking a daisy, a daisy, a daisy, We've found one here."

As they say "here," the raised hands close around the child who was passing by, and "daisy" takes the place of the one who caught her. She names another flower, and the game goes on as before, substituting that flower for daisy.

Then it continues until all the flowers are "found."

Duck, Duck, Goose

All you need for this game is a circle of children with lots of energy! This is an old favourite.

This children sit around in a circle, facing each other. One child is chosen to be "it" first.

That child who is "it" stands up and walks around the outside of the circle tapping each child on the head and naming them "duck". At some point he chooses a child to name "goose" instead, at which point the fun begins.

The goose must now jump up and chase the first child around the circle, trying to tag him before he can sit down in the goose's place. If he tags him, the first child has another go. If he fails, he becomes "it".

This game is similar to Chase The Rabbit and Name Chase

Easter Boxes Game

Boxes (also known as Dots or Dots and Boxes) is a well-loved classic strategy game with enough of a challenge to keep older kids and adults amused, but easy enough for younger children to enjoy (and learn from) too. We have three Easter printable versions here to suit all ages. It is an excellent travelling or restaurant game (all you need is the printout and pencils). It is a game for two players.

How to play:

Print out your grid, choosing the small grid for beginners and younger children and working up to the large grid.

You will need a pencil or pen each. Choose which player is to go first. He or she joins two adjacent dots with a straight line. The next player then also joins up two adjacent lines.

Play continues with the players taking turns until someone completes a box. He then claims the box as his own by writing his initial in it, and gets one more go. Every time a box is completed, the player who completes it gets another turn .. so sometimes a player will manage to complete quite a number of boxes in a row before their turn is over!

Continue play until all boxes are complete. The player with the most boxes wins.

Counting Jars Game

Here's a really simple idea which is fun to put together and fun to play with. You can play with the jars in many different ways, making is suitable for a wide age range too. Perhaps older kids could make the game for younger siblings?

Age: 3+

Collect 10 safe plastic jars or containers. You could use small plastic food storage tubs or small snack tubs. We bought a set of 10 plastic jars from a craft supply shop for very little money.

Use different colours of craft foam to cut out the numbers 1-10 and stick to the top of the jars. You could also cut the numbers from sandpaper. The idea of the raised and textural numbers is that your child can feel and trace over the number with their fingers, which can help them to learn more quickly. You could of course also just use a large number sticker or write the number on each container with a permanent marker.

Now fill each container with the appropriate number of small objects. We used die, beads, "knucklebones", marbles, buttons, miniature toy people left over from another game, pebbles, and tiny toy cars.

Vary the objects according to the age of the child. For example, a child who is just starting to learn their numbers could have 10 identical large red buttons in the "number 10" container. For an older child you could make up the number 10 with a mixture of different buttons of all sizes and colours.

Here are some ways in which you can use the game:

Learning each number

Take the jar which corresponds to the number which you are learning. Trace the number with your child's fingers (in the way in which you would write it) and say the number out loud. Ask your child to tip out the contents of the jar. Now count the contents back into the jar, saying each number out loud as you do so.

Tip the contents out again and make patterns with them on the table. Show your child that, however you arrange the objects, there are always the same number when you count them back into the jar.

Easy sorting

Tip the contents of 2 or more jars out onto the table and ask your child to sort them into piles - perhaps by colour, and then by shape, and finally by type of object. Now count them back into the correct jars.

Learning more than one number

Take 2 or 3 jars - more as your child progresses - and ask your child to tip all the contents onto the table and muddle them up. Now see if they can put the objects back into the jars correctly.

NB: Please take care if you are using the games with younger children that objects aren't put into mouths!

Easter Bonnet Matching Game

Here's a pretty printable concentration game with an Easter bonnet theme! It is designed to test your child's concentration skills, as they will have to notice more than the colour of the bonnets...

Print out this game, cut out the cards, shuffle them up, then lay them face down on the table in front of you. Turn over any two cards at a time, looking for pairs. If you find a pair, you keep it and get another turn. 

You can play "Concentration" on your own (see how quickly you can match up all the pairs, in as few moves as possible) or with friends, competing to see who can collect the most pairs.

Cotton Wool Giggles

Here is an unusual party game which will get the children giggling! You would not believe how hard it is to play this until you try it yourself!

Age: 6+

You will need:

Cotton wool balls
A large spoon or ladle
Two large mixing bowls, preferably plastic, or buckets
A stopwatch
Two chairs

How to play:

Each child plays separately.

Set up the game by placing the two chairs about five or six feet apart facing each other. On one chair place an empty bucket or bowl. On the other chair place a bucket or bowl filled with cotton wool balls.

Blindfold the first child, spin them round a couple of times, then put the spoon in their hand and guide them to the chair with the cotton wool balls. Help them to put the spoon on the edge of the bucket or bowl –just to give them a chance!

On the signal to start, they must try to move the cotton wool balls with the spoon from one bucket to the other. Make sure they only use one hand! Keep score until everybody has had a go.

Hints:

To make the game even more fun - if you think you can get away with it - try tipping all the cotton wool balls out of the bucket once a particular player is blindfolded (perhaps the birthday child, or a parent). They will wonder why everyone is laughing so hard but will still make a valiant effort to move those cotton wool balls!

Crazy Faces

This game is just plain fun! And of course it is ideal for teaching very little children to recognise their colours. Instructions and printout below.

Age:
3+

Skills:
Colours

Equipment:

• One die, adapted by covering each side with a coloured circle from the print-out below. If you plan to play often, or are making the die for classroom use, we suggest you stick the circles on firmly and then cover the whole die with a coat or two of clear varnish.
• One set of printable game pieces per player
• Also see "Variations" below

Instructions:

The object of the game is to build a set of four different-coloured “Crazy Faces”.

Depending on the age of the child, you can declare a winner when any number of faces are complete.

Put the game pieces in the centre of the table and give the die to the youngest player. He rolls and hopes for one of the four coloured spots on the die, which will allow him to take a “face” on which to build. A white spot represents an “eye”, but you must have a face on which to place the eye before you can claim it.

If you do not have an appropriate “face”, you miss that go.

No face can have more than 2 eyes!

A pink spot represents a set of lips. If you roll a colour which you already have in front of you, you will also miss that go.

Variations:

This game is great (and more tactile) with the playing pieces cut out of craft foam or felt. The children can help you make the pieces. If you have large “google eyes” you can use them for added silliness!

Valentine Relay

Great fun for a large group of kids or mixed ages, you will need a big space to play this relay racing game.

Age: any

Divide into 2 teams (or more if you have large numbers). Give each team a heart cushion or a large heart cut out of cardboard. The first player much place the heart between their knees and run (or hobble!) to a particular point without dropping the heart, then return to their team and pass the heart to the next player.

The first team to pass the heart successfully along each member of the team wins.

If the heart drops at all, the player must pick it up and return to the front of their team to start again.

What's The Time Mr Wolf?

I've no idea why this game works, and I confess I never enjoyed it much as a child myself! But some children love it so I've included it here and you can make up your own minds!

Age: 4+

How to play:

One child stands apart with his back to the other children, who should be a good distance away. He or she is Mr Wolf.

The group calls out "What's The Time, Mr Wolf?"

He replies with a time - for example, ""It's 2 o'clock"

The group then takes 2 steps forward, towards Mr Wolf, and asks again, "What's The Time, Mr Wolf?"

This time he might say "It's 10 o'clock", in which case the group would take 10 steps forward.

The group is attempting to reach Mr Wolf without him first catching them. When Mr Wolf senses that somebody is close, he can call out, instead of a time like before, "It's Dinner Time!", at which point he can finally turn around and see where everybody is, then try to catch somebody before they can make it back to the starting line. There is usually much screaming and excitement at this point!

Hints:

Make sure everybody gets a turn to be Mr Wolf.

Children will tend to vary between those who take great big steps to try to reach Mr Wolf first, and those that take very small steps so that they can run back to safety when he calls Dinner Time!

A big space, such as a playground or park, is perfect.

It may be best if an adult is the first "Mr Wolf" to show the children how to play.

This game is very similar to Red Light Green Light

Snip Snap Snorem

This is a popular - and noisy - card matching game, suitable for younger children and mixed age groups.

Number of players:
3+

Age:
4+

Cards:
Standard deck of cards

Instructions:
Deal the cards out completely (don't worry if some players get more than others). Players sort the cards in their hands by rank: the object of the game is to get rid of all your cards.

The player to the left of the dealer starts by placing any card down on the table. The next player looks to see if they have a card of the same rank. If they do, they place it down on top of the card, saying "Snip". If they have another card of the same rank, they place it down too, saying "Snap". If they don't, play passes to the next player, and so on. Whoever places the final card of that rank says "Snorem" and wins the right to start the next round with the card of their choice.

Children will soon learn that it is best to lead with a card in which they have more than one of a kind.

The Straw Game

Children love this team game, which takes a fair amount of skill and concentration (and puff!) There are at least two different ways to play it...

Age: 5+

You will need:

Half the number of bowls as you have players, plus 2 extra
A plastic straw for each player and a few spare
M&Ms, Smartees, or other small candy (sweets)

How to play:

Divide the children into 2 teams. Place the bowls in 2 lines opposite each other (either along the length of a table or on the ground), with a straw next to each bowl. In the first bowl in each line place a number of M&Ms or other sweets, appropriate for the age of your children - approximately 15-20. (NB please don't use sweets which have nuts in them unless you are absolutely sure that none of the children at the party have a nut allergy).

The children each stand or kneel by a bowl. There will be one spare bowl at the end of the line. At your signal the first player begins to transfer the sweets, one by one, from their bowl to the next bowl along, using only their straw. Absolutely no hands are allowed, even if a sweet is dropped! The next player begins to transfer the sweets as soon as they arrive in his bowl into the next one, and so on down the line until all the sweets arrive in the final bowl, at which point that team is declared the winners.

Variation:

This version works with unequal numbers of children and requires less props and less space - and takes more time. It is fun for a mixed age group of children, in which case try and distribute the children fairly and make sure that the older kids encourage the younger ones, who will be quite a lot slower at the game! Have two bowls per team.

One player starts by transferring the sweets from one bowl to the next. When all the sweets are transferred, the next player comes up and transfers them back.... and so on, until the last player ha transferred all the sweets. If you have uneven teams, one player can go twice.

Halloween Matching Game

A fun, colourful Halloween matching game that you can print and enjoy with the kids. Many variations possible - we've got ideas here.

Guess The Petals

This is an excellent game for concentration, quiet, and learning about nature - although you don't have to tell the children that is what they are doing! Perhaps you could find a selection of flowers and compare the results? Play it on your own at home, or make it a party game.

Age: 5+

You will need:

A flower with lots of petals (choose according to the age of the child/children) such as a rose, daisy etc. Pencil and paper

How to play:

Place the flower in front of the children and ask them to study it, then guess how many petals it has and write down the number.

Now pull off the petals carefully and, together, count the number. If appropriate for the age of the child, you could place the petals in rows or piles of 5 or 10 to make counting easier.

As a party game:

Play as above, awarding a prize to the child who guesses nearest the correct number of petals.

Like A Dinosaur Game

The Like A Dinosaur Game can be played with two or more children, and is suitable for large groups where you need to expend some of the children's energy! It is a particularly good classroom, group or party game for young children.

How to play:

Give the kids plenty of space, put on some interesting music if you like, and then ask them to move them around in a certain manner.

You could ask them to:

• Stomp like a dinosaur
• Roar like a dinosaur
• Growl like a dinosaur
• Run like a dinosaur
• Chatter like a dinosaur
• Scratch the ground like a dinosaur
• and so on.

You can get as rowdy or noisy as you like, and use up lots of energy in the process!

To calm the children down at the end of the game, why not ask them to "sleep like a dinosaur" and give them a moment of two to rest before you move on to something else.

Sevens

Also known as Card Dominoes, Parliament or Fan Tan, this is an exiting card game which is simple for children to learn quickly.

Number of Players:
2+

Age Range:
6+

Cards:
Standard 52-card deck.

Instructions:
The entire pack of cards is dealt clockwise and face-down around the group.

The players then sort their cards into sequences in each suit. The player who holds the 7 of diamonds starts by placing this card down in the centre. The game then continues clockwise, with each player, if they can, adding a diamond card to the sequence. This can either go up (8, then 9, then 10 etc) or down (6, then 5, then 4 etc). Any cards played are placed on either side of the 7, as appropriate, so that the diamonds form a row. A player can also start a new sequence in a different suit by placing any of the other 7s below the 7 of diamonds so that a new row can be built in that suit. If a player can do neither, they simply skip a turn.

The winner is the first player to use up all his cards, although if you wish you can continue to play until all the cards have been used up and all four rows are complete.

Blow Football

This is a very simple game for two or four players suitable for children as young as 4. You can set it up anywhere and it should keep the kids amused for a while!

Age: 4+

You Will Need:

A ball. The best type of ball depends on the surface of the pitch. If you’re playing on a carpet, a light plastic ball like a Subbuteo ™ football or a perhaps a table tennis ball is ideal; if you’re using a smooth surface like a table, you can use a heavier/rougher ball (even a dried pea !)

Two goals (margarine tubs are good).

A large drinking straw for each player

Rules:

Place a border round the pitch (books might be suitable) to stop the ball going outside the field of play. Then put the ball in the middle of the pitch and …blow. If you get the ball in the opponents goal you have scored. First to five goals wins.

The only rule is that you’re not allowed to touch the ball while it is in play -  with hand, straw or anything else. If you do, the opponent gets a penalty.

Penalty shots:

The offending player (or team if playing two-a-side) has to put down his straw, the ball goes on the middle of the pitch and the other team gets the chance to score unopposed. The offending team are not allowed to touch their straws to pick them up and defend until the other team has restarted.

Pass the Parcel

This well-known classic birthday party game is a favorite with the younger age-group, although we have found that very young children don't understand that they need to pass the parcel on and have suffered an embarrassing tantrum or two as a result!

Age: 5+

Preparation:

You will need a present wrapped up in at least as many layers of gift wrap as there are children at the party. You can economise by using construction paper or newspaper for the early layers. If you are playing with very young children, you may like to add a small chocolate bar or roll of sweets (candy) to each layer. You will also need a CD player or similar.

Play:

Sit the children in a circle and give the present to the birthday child. Start the music. The children pass the parcel around the circle to the child on their left as long as the music continues. When it stops, the child holding the parcel undoes one layer or wrapping (and, if you have included them, takes a treat). The final layer will open to reveal the prize.

Hints:

This game is very popular but needs close supervision with younger children. Some are reluctant to pass the parcel at all and may need some encouragement! You will also need to make sure that the music stops in such a way that everyone gets a turn, and (preferably) so that the birthday child doesn’t win the prize! It is helpful to memorise the last layer of wrapping paper so that you can make sure a suitable child wins the prize – perhaps the youngest child or the shyest child.

Musical Bumps

Often the first game that children learn to play at parties, this will always be a favourite.

Age: 3+

You will need:

A CD player or similar with dancing music or children's favorites
Some little prizes

How to play:

The children dance around in the centre of the room until the music stops, when they must sit down on the floor as quickly as possible. The last one down is eliminated.

Hints:

If you are playing with very young children you may find it easier to “eliminate” the children by asking them to dance in a different area of the room, rather than expecting them to stop completely!

It can be better to award a prize to the last 2 or 3 children standing rather than try to pick one winner.

My Ship Sails

This is an easy card game for kids of all ages (from about 6 up) which is best and most exciting when played at high speed.

Number of Players:
4 –to 7

Age Range:
6+

Cards:
One standard deck of cards

Instructions:
Deal seven cards to each player, one at a time and face-down. The rest of the deck is not needed.

The aim of the game is to try and collect seven cards from the same suit (eg seven spades). Keeping the cards hidden, the players sort their cards by suits and decide which suit to collect (although they may change their mind as play progresses).

Then, each player puts an unwanted card face down on the table and slides it to the player on the right, who takes it up. Try to do this in a rhythm so that all players are passing and picking up at the same time. Continue until one player’'s hand is all one suit. He shouts “"My Ship Sails!"” and wins the game.

This game is similar to Pig.

Old Maid

A popular and easy card game for three or more children. It makes a good starter card game for kids. Also called "Pass The Lady".

Number of Players:
3+

Age Range:
5+

Cards:

A standard deck of 52 cards is used, but with one of the Queens removed. This leaves a pair of Queens in one colour and a single Queen (the old maid) in the other.

Instructions:

All the cards are dealt, face down. It doesn’t matter if some players end up with more cards than others.

The players then sort their cards, keeping them hidden from all other players. Anyone holding pairs of matching cards, with the same number or picture, should put them down face up. If anyone has three matching cards, he only puts down one pair and keeps the spare card. If anyone has four matching cards, he puts down two pairs.

The player to the left of the dealer then fans his cards in his hand so he can see them all, although he keeps them hidden from the other players. He offers them to the player on his left, who cannot see them, but takes a random card from the fan. If the card he picks matches any he already he has, he puts down the pair. If not, he keeps it in his hand. Then, he, in turn, fans his cards and offers them to the player on his left.

This continues until all the cards have been put down in pairs, except the Old Maid, which is left alone and cannot be paired. The person left holding this card is the Old Maid, and loses the game.

Variations:

Le Vieux Garcon
This is the French version of the game, and translates to “Old Boy”. The “Old Boy” is the Jack of Spades. All the other Jacks are removed from the deck and the game is played as usual.

Mystery Box

This is a great game for the beginning of a party, when you are still waiting for guests to arrive and you need to keep individual children amused...

Age: 4+

You will need:

A variety of objects
A large cardboard box
A tablecloth or towel
A paper and pencil for each player

Preparation:

Assemble a number of objects (you can decide on a theme or make the objects totally random) and place in a large cardboard box. Cover with a tablecloth or towel so that nobody can see into the box.

Play:

Give each player a pencil and paper and ask them to feel inside the box and identify the objects. When everybody has had a turn compare notes and award a prize to the person who has correctly identified the most.

Hints:

You could have a toy box and include a plastic animal, a toy car, a Barbie doll, a cuddly dog, a rattle, a skipping rope (tied up) and a marble.

You could have a holiday box and include some suntan cream, a pair of sunglasses, a swimsuit, a book, a drink can, a seashell and a flip flop.

You could have an unrelated selection and choose one or two surprising items (perhaps flubber or gunge), which will give the children a shock when they find them!

Wrapping A Present

This is a Valentine's Day variation of the Halloween mummy game! You will need a large supply of pink loo paper and some excited kids...

Age: any

You will need:

A roll of pink toilet paper for each pair of children. A large red bow.

This is a variation of the popular Halloween mummy game, but instead of wrapping a mummy, the kids are wrapping up a present for Valentine's Day! Give each pair of kids a roll of pink toilet paper and on your signal one of them wraps the other up. The team that finishes first gets to put a big red bow on their present!

Ice Breaker Bingo

This game needs a little preparation and a big classroom or group to make it work, but it's a fun way of getting the kids to mingle and talk to each other. Best for age 7 and over.

Print out a bingo sheet for each player and give them a clipboard and pencil. The aim of the game is to get signatures to cover the squares, and to be the first to cover 5 squares in a row either horizontally, vertically or diagonally. The central square is a free square.

To collect a signature, you have to find another child that can happily (and truthfully!) answer Yes to the statement in that square. So each child will need to walk around the room, starting conversations and trying to find a square that the other child can sign. A child can only sign one square on another child's clipboard!

We've got a pre-made bingo sheet, complete with questions, below. You may prefer to make up your own questions, in which case you can print out the blank sheet instead.
