Quiet Games And Activities
Sometimes you need a quiet games and 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.

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

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