Quiet Games And Activities

Quiet games and activities

Sometimes you need a quiet game or activities for your children - perhaps to calm down a party or gathering, on a long rainy afternoon, or when a child is recuperating from an illness. We have a collection of ideas here for all occasions.

Anagram Challenge
This game can be adapted for any age or ability group and almost any situation, including parties and plane journeys!

Brain Game NEW!
Looking for an educational diversion when your kids are stuck with nothing to do? Try this simple brain game!

Create a Creature
This is an unusual party game, but it is useful if you need to while away a fair amount of time! Children not only create their own creatures, but spend time giggling at each other's and guessing what each creature is.

How Many Sweets In the Jar?
There is something irresistible about a large jar filled with sweets! This game will always be a favourite with the kids.

Look For Gold NEW!
Played with pebbles, this traditional Chinese game is similar to Jacks or Knucklebones.

Marble Drop
There are many ways that children can play with marbles. This one involves a bit of "making" first, which adds to the fun and keeps the kids busy for longer.

The Tray Game
This is an excellent game for parties (especially when you need to quieten the children down) and also for a group of kids on a rainy afternoon. Regularly playing this game can really sharpen your memory skills and give children practise in concentrating.

What's In The Sock?
A good game to quieten down a party, this works well with mixed age groups and is also a fun activity to provide for bored kids at home on a rainy afternoon.

See also our Games for Car Journeys page, which includes a number of quiet games.

See also our Rainy Day Games and Activities, for some good quiet ideas for getting the kids involved in a project.

Latest Games and Activities!

Make a ping pong bat
Make A Ping Pong Bat And Net NEW!
The Chinese introduced table tennis to the world and have always been extremely good at the sport. You can make your own ping pong bats and net and have a go!

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.

Fishing (Tiu-u or Chinese Dominoes)
This game of Chinese dominoes sounds a little complicated to begin with but is in fact very simple to play. The name ‘fishing’ comes from the idea that players ‘fish’ for matching dominoes. You can either print out our dominoes or make your own more authentic version with popsicle sticks (instructions included!)

Fish Matching Game
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.
