Defend the castle
Kids claim a playground structure as their castle while grown-ups or older kids with decent aim try to peg them with soft, harmless balls. An activity to do for the fun of it, no winners or losers, just play.
The monster game
A drawing game where different players draw different parts of a monster, creating a silly masterpiece…er, monsterpiece!
No, because
A guessing game similar to twenty questions where clues take the form “No, because…” It’s worked best for us when we play with a specific category, like people.
Say the same thing
This is a cooperative talking game from the band OK Go. For two players, where players try to name the same word at the same time. It’s easy and fast and can get funny. It’s a perfect game for filling up empty hours or killing time.
