Preschool Games for Kids
Below is a list of some of the games we played as kids. Games
are a great way to spend quality time with your child and have
fun at the same time.
1.
I Spy
One person looks for an object inside or outside the car. After
they find an object they say "I spy with my little eye something
that begins with...". Then you have to say the first letter
of the object. The first person who finds out the object is "It".
2. Red light, green light
Is a game played mostly by children. The "it" person
stands at one end of the playing field, with the rest of the players
at the other end. "It" turns their back to the others
and calls out "Green light!" The players then run as
fast as they can towards "it". At any time, "it"
can face the players, calling out "Red light," and the
others must freeze in place. If anyone fails to stop, they are
out or must return to the starting line. Other variations include
calling out "Yellow light" as a diversion, or where
they must walk instead of run to "it". Calling Yellow
Light has no consequence. The first player to reach the person
who is "it" wins and becomes "it" for the
next round. In certain regions this game may be known as "sneak
up on granny"; in this version the person who is "it"
is the "granny", and does not call out "red light"
or "green light".3.
4. Red Rover
Players on a team hold hands, forming a "chain". The
leader of a team will call a player from the opposing team. That
player must try and break through two players' hands (a link)
to stay on their own team. If the player is not able to break
through the link, that team will gain control of that player.
Before a player would try to break the link, the link would normally
say "Red Rover, red Rover, we call _________ (player's name)
over!".
Typically, the weaker players are chosen first to increase the
chance of taking them. When only one player is left on a team,
they must try and break through a link. If they do not succeed,
the opposing team wins. Otherwise, they are able to get a player
back for their team.
The game can be a potentially painful experience. For example,
when the runner breaks through a link (or attempts to break through),
it can hurt the linkers' arms, or body depending on if he falls
or gets bruised by somebody's bones.
5. Simon Says
One person is chosen to be "Simon" the others stand
in a strait line. The simon then calls out an action for the children
to follow. It can be anything like.... touch your toes jump 10
times on 1 foot...... The simon when giving an action can simply
state the action by it self..."touch your ears" and
whoever does it is out and has to sit down. Or the simon can say
"Simon says, touch your ears" and them everyone must
follow the instruction. You can vary the actions according to
the age group of children you are playing with. The last person
who is standing can then be "Simon"!
