I spy
This is a perfect game for young kids, easy to play, and one that encourages observation skills. Players pick objects around a room and try to get others to guess what they’re spying.
Mirror drawing
This is a fun drawing activity (not really with a winner or loser). Fun for little kids and good to keep them quiet, too. 🙂
Alphabet chant
There’s not really a winner or a loser, but players take turns coming up with phrases for each letter of the alphabet, like “My name is Bridget, my husband’s name is Brandon, we live in Bermuda, and we sell bouncey balls.” Good for car trips.
Twenty questions
A simple, classic guessing game. Guess another player’s noun in twenty questions or less.
Green glass doors
A talking, thinking game for anywhere from two to a busload of players. One of those games where you need someone who knows the “secret” and other players who are clueless. This post does not include the secret, but scroll to the comments for TONS of clues!
