This is musical chairs with an
exciting difference - very popular with younger kids!
Age: 3+
Preparation:
Cut a large circle of paper, old sheeting or old plastic
tablecloth for every child at the party, and draw on large bright numerals. You
have also prepared a few small prizes, one for each round you are going to play,
wrapped up and marked with corresponding numbers. So, for example, if you have
20 children and hope to play 5 rounds, you would have 20 pieces of paper marked
1 to 20, and say 5 prizes marked 3, 7, 12, 15 and 19.
Play:
Scatter the papers around the room and get the children
dancing as before. When the music stops the children must sit down on a piece of
paper. Then, with a big fanfare, announce the "magic number" for that round and
see who has won the little prize!
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.

(Concentration), Go Fish and many other card games, as well as played with
our sorting mats by one child on their own. Printable Games
