Games for Preschoolers
Playing games gives the little kids time to do what they want to, and teaches them how to socialize.
- Car Wash: Preschoolers, toddlers, and kindergarten kids love to play in water. For playing car wash, you will need fairly big toy cars, baby-friendly soap, sponges, and water. Let the kids enjoy some warm weather as they wash their cars clean!
- Splash of Paints: To play this game you will need lots of paints, transparent sheets, paint brushes, and wire to hold up the sheets. Attach the sheets to the wires and hook them on to a fence so that it looks like a wall of transparent paper. Now allow the children to paint as they wish. At the end of it, the picture will be the most innocent graffiti ever!
- Tomato: Make everyone sit in a circle, while one person stands in the center, who is known as 'it'. Everyone sitting in the circle asks 'it' questions, which are to be answered as 'tomato'. For example, 'what's your name?' 'tomato!'. A variety of questions can be asked to make the game funny and interesting.
- Hide and Seek: This is a popular game and is equally loved by all. All the kids hide, except one, who is chosen to seek the others.
- Blind Walk: Create an obstacle course and line up the contestants. However, let them have a good look at the set up before you blind fold each one of them. Have them walk the obstacle course one by one. Record each one's time on the scoreboard. The contestant who does it the fastest is the obvious winner.
- Blind Snakes: Fix sprinklers between the start and the finish line. Have the participants run from the start to finish without getting wet, as you control the faucet.
- Treasure Hunt: Treasure hunt is a very popular game that includes immense team work and brain work. It would be much fun to watch the youngsters looking for clues to get to the treasure in a forest, on the trail! How's that?
- King Battles: Make 2 teams and elect one player as the king for both the teams. Tie a band on his arm to distinguish him from others. Both the teams will have to try to protect their king from being kidnapped. This game is an interesting mixture of hide and seek and chess.
