What are some good table games for kids?

Games for 1-5 year olds?

  • We're having a family reunion this weekend and I am in charge of games for the little kids (ages 1-5) that should last about an hour. There should be lots of kids. We were thinking we'd have lots of little things like bubbles and sidewalk chalk and maybe bring my water table, but need more good ideas for this age group to keep them interested. I think that most organized games would be too advanced for the younger ones, but any ideas?

  • Answer:

    you could get some small wooden crafts and have a section for painting things such as bird houses or small wooden cars. also pinatas are great for that age. it will take up a fair amount if you start at the youngest child and work your way up. plus its great for the kids to learn patience. maybe you could get a few tricycles and do some kind of race for the kids. good luck and have fun

All the stuff you have sounds good. Don't forget bug catchers and butterfly (you can get them at the dollar store where I live). Some of the kids may enjoy that. You could organize a scavenger/treasure hunt for the older ones (pair them with a little one if everyonne has to play). Shovels and buckets if you can dig in the ground where you are going to be. They can pretend to plant seeds or just dig around in the dirt if they no one will freak if they get dirty.

Don't forget about balls! my 1 year old little girl loves to play ball. :) what you have planned so far sounds great. that should keep them entertained for a while...also if there will not be that many kids and you are feeling brave you could make a few small water balloons as well. kids love them :)

Coloring. Download printouts from here: http://www.toddler-net.com/Games_art_crafts.html Give a copy and some crayons to each of the kids. They also have some game ideas. My kids love "wet" race. Play dough is good too for this age group. Hand printing. Read books, sing or dance with them.
