Spud
Spud is a great outdoor game for kids. Players throw and catch a kickball and try to tag other players out of the game.
Fruit basket
Fruit basket is a simple indoor game for big groups, easy enough for young kids, and also entertaining for older kids and adults. Players switch chairs, trying not to be the one left without a chair.
Clothespins
A game for birthday parties, baby showers, or sleepovers where guests steal each other’s clothespins by catching each other saying forbidden words. It’s a good game to kind of play throughout the duration of an event, just in the background.
Simon says
Simon says is a simple game, great especially for young kids. Simply put, you tell each other to do things and then you do it. 🙂
Mystery gift pass
This is a fun party activity, great for little kids and perfect for class parties (if you’re a room mom). It works well for Christmas, but could be used for other holidays, too.
