This is an excellent game to play when you have a group of
children who don't know each other well.
Age: 4+
Children (and adults) stand in a circle. An adult starts off
the game by throwing a beanbag or ball at someone in the circle and asking a
question at the same time - such as "What's your name?", "Do you have a brother
or sister?", "What's your favourite colour?" and so on. The person who catches
the beanbag/ball must answer the question and then throw it on and ask their own
question. The game works best if you keep it moving quite quickly, so you may
have to step in to prod very young children.
If your children like making up their own games, you might find
our new printable "money", counters, tickets etc useful. Printable game supplies
Make A Name Book
More of a craft activity than a game, this is a great way for kids to get to
know each other at the beginning of the school year.
Matching Game cards can be used to play Memory
(Concentration), Go Fish and many other card games, as well as played with
our sorting mats by one child on their own. Printable Games
