I Spy

This game is an old classic that little kids love. Take turns being the “spy.” The spy looks around and silently chooses an item, then says “I spy with my little eye something…. BLUE” (or whatever color it is). Then the other players take turns guessing blue items. Whoever guesses correctly gets to be the next “spy.”

Copy This

Each person takes turns making a gesture. You must repeat all of the gestures made before, and then add one of your own. For instance, the first person squeezes their nose. Then, the second person squeezes their nose, and flaps their arms like a chicken. The third person squeezes their nose, flaps their arms, and then adds their own gesture. Continue until someone messes up.

Laughing Game

Each person takes a turn being it and everyone else tries to make them laugh. They can do anything except touch the person. Keep track of how long they go without laughing. Whoever can go longest is the winner.
