How high can your kid jump? Have them hop beside a door frame or wall and mark the highest spot they reach. Eventually your child can use rolled up socks, beanbags, balls, or even balloons to practice throwing the items between their hands. Learning is half the fun! Start your child off with scarves to get used to the throwing and catching of two items. It’s always fun to see the spots kids can find to squeeze into! 11. Have your kids pull each other or their stuffies in laundry baskets for bucketfuls of fun. Have a much drier snowball fight indoors by scrunching up paper into balls and throwing them (gently) at friends and family. Kids love this game of jumping, dancing, or running on bubble wrap as they pop the bubbles away! 8. Provide your child with a piece of paper with five colours either written out for the older crowd or with the colours drawn with pencil crayons for kids not yet able to read. Send your child on a hunt to find a certain number of items of each colour. Assign values for each rectangle or see whose beanbag comes closest to the bullseye after a few chances. The start line can be close for younger players and further out for older ones. Have kids take turns aiming for the bullseye by throwing bean bags towards the board. The middle or smallest rectangle will be the bullseye. Start by making a large rectangle and make smaller rectangles within the large one. Use painter’s tape to create a “dart board” on the floor. You can use a spinner to pick which colour and which hand or foot. With at least two players playing at once, have your kids place either a left or right hand or foot on one circle at a time. Pull out a Twister game board or make your own with six rows of coloured circles on it (you can cut circles from cardboard) with a different colour in each row. If you want to add a bit more movement to the game, have whoever moves when they’re supposed to be frozen touch their toes five times before the music starts again. As soon as you stop the music, your kids must freeze in place until the music starts again. Freeze danceįreeze dance is always a favourite! Have your kids dance while you play music. Or, if this is too challenging, have your kids lie still while others jump. Have kids roll on the floor while others jump over them. Pick up some craft feathers from the dollar store, throw them in the air, and have your kids catch them with a butterfly net. But indoor activities can be just as fun as outdoor ones when you have a list of great ideas for your kids. Whether your space is large or small, there are so many opportunities for your kids to move and have fun! Here are 50 indoor activities for your family to try. Whether we like it or not, there are days when we have to stay indoors.
