Marshmallow toss
A game invented by my very own mother for our family nights when I was growing up. It’s a simple tossing game (kind of like a bean bag toss) you can set up with things you have around the house (marshmallows, muffin tins, you know).
Hot or cold
A really simple hide-and-seek type game. It’s a good kind of quiet, not-too-disruptive game for little kids involving hiding an object and giving clues to help players find it.
First word
This is a simple talking game you can plan to learn more about your family or friends. Great for killing time and fun to play even with people you know really well.
New printables page
This just in: a new printables page to organize all of the printables on my site, including lots of word lists. Just a one-stop place to find everything you can download and print. 🙂
One-two-three
An outdoor group game, not terribly active, but it does involve kicking, catching, and pegging (traditionally with a hacky sack). It doesn’t have to take a lot of time, so it could be good for filling small periods when you’re waiting for something exciting to happen.
