Ping Pong Ball Catch
Got some plastic or paper cups in the house? Now you can use them for fun. Toss a ping pong ball towards your kid and have them catch the ball in the cup. Keep increasing the distance in between you and your child to keep it challenging. (If you don’t have a ping pong ball you can make a paper ball by using waste papers).
The Floor is Lava!
The rule of this exciting game is that, if a person says “The floor is lava” then no one is allowed to touch it. You have to move around the house by stepping on the furniture and anything they can toss on the floor.
Hide and Seek
This must be one of the most popular and the oldest indoor games on the planet. Not just kids, it can be played by a person of any age group. It’s an easy game to play where everyone hides and one person has to find them. The person found first would have to search for everyone in the next round. You can make it more exciting by playing it in a dark room, but make sure to take caution.
Musical Chairs
This game is best for 4 or more kids playing with one additional person to play and stop the music. All you need to do is line up the chairs less than the number of players (for example, line up only 3 chairs if four players are playing) and move around it. Then, as soon as the music stops every player has to sit on the chair. The one who gets left behind loses. Decrease the number of chairs until there’s only one chair and two players left.
