Whatmomloves Thankyou and keep sharing some more activities for lil boys. I must tell you, All the activities are amazing and looking forward to doing with my 8-year child.

There is really no age limit on these. I am going to implement some of these ideas in my year 9 maths class. Mini golf sounds great, groups can design their own holes and then the class can play the course. These are all great. This is just a wonderful Blog, thanks for the great insight and tips.

We really appreciate your effort! Keep up the awesome work! Thanks for this much helpful article. Actually i was searching for some articles on Kids Indoor activities. I liked your article a lot. Your suggestions are really great for me to play with my children. After playing games, they become active so much. Thank you so much for your sharing. They had to race and see who can blow their cotton ball to the finish line the fastest. Just read through your indoor activities and games.

They are amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing them xx. This is a lovely list of activities. My client has a latex allergy so we will avoid the balloon related activities however but the rest are great. What about cookery? In the winter time I have had fun teaching the kids to cook stewed juicy pears for lunch or dinner or bake up a batch of cupcakes for tea.

We have also made applesauce ladled into jars and festive star shaped biscuits in the past for a Christmas Day lunch. You could even try other recipes in addition. The kids love it. I help of course. Awesome list! So many great ideas! They are actually great! My kids are very active, they love these games so much, we are gonna try them all at the weekends. My four-year-old-son is interested in numbers and letters, how wonderful is that?

Thanks for these great ideas. Thanks for this much helpful article, all the activities are amazing! I am going to implement some of these ideas in year 9 maths class in my school. My children usually seem to have a lot of pent-up energy that needs to be released through entertaining activities.

I was scrolling and looking for some activities for my children when I came across this blog, which offered me various ideas for my children. It was a great blog. We love that this game from Toddler Approved keeps your child moving, but also helps them learn their shapes, letters and numbers! Tape Lines: Make separate lines of tape, each about a foot apart, on your floor or carpet. Have them try and beat their best score each time. Experiment with arm swinging vs.

Long Jump Backwards: Increase the difficulty by performing the tasks jumping backwards. Hop: How far can they jump on one leg? The key to making it active is to make it large-scale, so they are engaging their core muscles while crawling all over. Number Squares : Make a large square with your tape and then divide it into 9 or more small squares, marking random numbers in each one. Balloon Games Has your child ever received a balloon at a birthday party and been totally enamored by it?

To make it more challenging for older kids, have them juggle more than 1 balloon, or tie one hand behind their back. Time them to see how long they can do it for, or if you have multiple kids, have them count how many times they can hit it back and forth…then see if they can beat their time or score! This game is great for improving arm strength and hand-eye coordination.

Make it more challenging for older kids by having them go around a few obstacles. If they drop it, they have to go back to the start. Then challenge them to try and tap it with their hand. Count how many they can do in a row without missing this gets tiring very quickly! Up the ante by seeing if they can jump and touch the balloon with the top of their head! Backhand Balloon Balance: Challenge your kids to balance a balloon on the back of their hand, and see how long they can do it before it falls to the ground.

Balloon Foot Balance : For a real challenge, have your kids lie on the ground with their legs up in the air and try and balance the balloon on their feet. Give your kids some newspaper to scrunch up and throw up at the web. Or get creative and use other light-weight objects like balloons. Sticky Note Wall Bop: Attach 26 sticky notes to the back of a door and write a different letter on each one in random order. Players with more advanced aim and spelling skills can try and hit all the letters in specific words to make it even tougher, if they miss one of the letters, have them start all over again!

Floor Bop: Take Wall Bop to the floor. Instead of aiming up high, your kids will now have to toss an object to land on pieces of paper on the floor.

The same rules as above can apply. Ping Pong Ball Catch: Get out those plastic red Solo cups and a few ping pong balls or any small object that will fit in the cup and have your kids toss the ball to a partner and try and catch it in the cup.

Start out close together and then keep taking a step backwards to increase the challenge. For a single-player, they can simply throw the ball in the air and try and catch it. Alligator Alley: One of our favorite go-to inside games of all time. Bonus points if Mom plays said hungry alligator and chomps after them when they stumble!

Hunts Although we may hunt for things all the time hello keys, wallet, phone! Lego Color Hunt: You have to try this one, it is a kid-favorite and super easy to execute. Select 4 pieces of colored construction paper and then collect 10 Lego pieces that match each one ie.

Start the clock and have your kid s start hunting. Hide all the pieces of a wooden board puzzle and have your child search for them — returning each piece to the board as they go. This game gets them moving, and their brain working at the same time, and kids love having a goal to complete. Paint Chip Color Hunt: Pick up some brightly colored paint chips from your local hardware store and ask your kids to find items that match each color as closely as possible again, keep a timer going so they quicken their pace.

Use colored construction paper instead like Simple Play Ideas! ABC Hunt: Have your kids go around the house with a basket, collecting items that start with each letter of the alphabet A for apple, B for Barbie, C for Crayola, etc — give them a checklist to mark off each one as they go. Time them so they run! And yes, set that timer! Put the tape up high and down low, forcing them to step over and crawl under at various points. The only problem with this one is that once you make it, your kids will constantly be begging you to make another!

Idea via Brassy Apple. Life-size Book Maze: This creative idea from Preschool Powol Packets uses books but other household items: clothing, brooms, and sports equipment like bats and sticks would all work well to create a large scale maze that will challenge your kids to find their way out. Once they have the hang of it, have them crawl, hop, or walk backwards through it! This one is great for preschoolers to work on their spatial awareness and problem solving skills — in addition to getting them up and moving.

Make-shift your own balls with a wad of newspaper, bean bags, soft toys or rolled-up socks. Put a pair of wool-like mittens on your feet kids think this is pretty silly which adds to the fun Construct wax paper booties using string or tape Save old tissue boxes and kids can simply place their feet through the opening! Lacrosse: Lacosse is a tough sport to safely practice inside, unless you have this genius training device.

The CradleBaby is a regulation Lacrosse ball with a tether strap that attaches to the head of a Lacrosse stick. So your child can practice their stick skills all over the house without creating any damage! Use any type of ball to bowl, attempting to knock down as many pins as possible. App Store Preview.

This list is not comprehensive and is intended to provide a general, brief description of the categories of active games as well as provide examples of each category.

Dance Games are the pioneering series of the active gaming genre in video games. Players stand on a platform or stage and try to hit colored arrows or characters with their feet to musical rhythm and visual cues. Players are judged by how well they time their dance to the patterns presented to them and are allowed to choose the music to play during each game. These games resemble traditional bikes using game controllers to control on-screen actions, including steering, speed, turns, firing mechanisms and other game components.

These games use the concept of a balance board or platform as a controller in which the user stands as they play the game. Most games simulate various outdoor recreational activities such as snowboarding, skiing, skateboarding, or various games requiring static or dynamic balance. These games simulate individual and team sports with common games consisting of striking sports, bowling, boxing, running and others. For these games the controllers serve as implements that simulate a bat, racquet, or paddle, etc during game play.
