Of all the free games for kids this is the most fun two player game.

• A Blindfold
• Feathers
• Cotton Balls
• Feathers
• Anything really soft like fleece, tissues, a stuffed animal etc.

1. Put all your soft objects inside a basket or bag within easy reach of one of the players.
2. Have the two players sit facing each other. Put the blindfold on one they give the other player the basket of soft ojects.
3. The player with the objects takes one object at a time and brushes them against the cheek of the blindfolded player.
4. The blindfolded player tries to guess when the object being brushed against their cheek is the feather.
5. When the blindfolded player guesses correctly the players switch places.

The gentler you are with the objects the more difficult it is the guess them. This is actually harder than it seems.

One of the faster paced free games for kids.

You'll Need:

• A clock or timer to see when 5 minutes is up
• A marker for everyone

1. Give everyone a page of the newspaper
2. Set the timer for 5 minutes. On "Go" everyone searches their page for the number "4". Everytime they find a "4" they mark it and say "4 score".
3. The person with the most 4's at the end of 5 minutes wins.

You can play this game with any number or word you want.

Scavenger hunts are a great way to have free games for kids at any type of party.

• Find something red and green
• Find something fuzzy
• Put a blue stone in the kitchen

...and so on. Literally anything you can think of that would be possible for them to do, find or figure out, you can put on the list. Lead them all to the final find which can be a piece of fruit in the kitchen....or a puzzle piece from the playroom....anything at all.

Give a small prize to the first person to complete the list or make this free games for kids a team project.

There is a slightly more elaborate type of indoor scavenger hunt here

All you need for this game is a balloon and a string.

Tie the string across two pieces of furniture. This will be the indoor net.

With shoes offf, two players bat the balloon back and forth using their feet.

Sometimes this free game for kids can be played on the floor while lying your back, batting the balloon back and forth with socked feet.

This free game is normally played inside the house with a group of at least three people. Someone is chosen to be “It”, or the “Hider”. That person is the first to hide the button.

The rest of the group, "Hunters" will go into another room and cover their eyes.

The “Hunters” count out loud to 60 during which time the “Hider” has to hide the button somewhere in the room. After the button is hidden, the Hunters come in and start their search.

The Hider will help the group by letting them know who is close to the button by saying who is “warm”, “warmer”, or “hot” if they’re really close to the button. If a Hunter is far away from the button the Hider can let everyone know that Hunter is “cold”, “colder”, or “freezing”.

Usually when one Hunter is getting warmer the rest will all gather searching the same area. The Hunter who finds the button holds it over their head and says, “Button, button. I found the button!” This Hunter is now the new Hider. This is another one of the classic indoor games.

Another classic in this list of free games for kids, this game can be played by children as young as 3 years old and is best when an adult is the leader or “Simon”.

1. Simon stands in front of the group and everyone finds a spot where they can see and hear Simon well. It’s best to leave some space between players to allow for safe movement.

2. Simon gives commands for everyone to follow such as, “Simon says clap your hands.” Or “Simon says stomp your feet.”

3. The players must obey ONLY the commands that start with the phrase “Simon says…”

4. If Simon calls out a command without saying the phrase, then the players should ignore that command and continue doing the last, “Simon says…” command, until they hear the next command that starts with the phrase “Simon says...”

5. Any player that obeys a command that DOES NOT start with the phrase, “Simon says…” is out.

It’s not always necessary to make players sit out after a mistake in following a command. If the group is small or very young, let everyone play on. The mistakes usually bring lots of giggles.

Note: Commands can be silly and fast. The leader, “Simon”, should also do whatever command he or she is asking. Simon can also trick the players by saying one command yet doing another, (even if it's preceded by "Simon says.") For example, Simon may say, “Simon says; Pat your tummy.” But Simon will pat his head even though the players should be patting their tummies.

This one of the free games for kids is best played with at least 3 people. Since we’ve modified it for indoors there is no “running to base” involved.

1. Decide who will be “It”.

2. That player covers their eyes and counts to 20, or whatever number is appropriate depending on the age of the players. Younger kids need a little more time to hide.

3. All the players find a safe place to hide. (Decide ahead of time what rooms are off limits for the game.)

4. When “It” is done counting he or she yells, “Ready or not, here I come!!” And the search begins.

5. As “It” finds the hidden players they walk back to home base and wait for everyone else to be found.

The last player to be found wins that round and becomes “It” for the next round.

This game is fun and all you need is a ping pong ball, or a lightweight small ball that moves easily when you blow on it. This is played around a table with as few as two players, up to as many as will fit around the table.

• Players sit opposite each other with equal portion of the table in front of them as their territory.
• The ping pong ball gets put between them and on GO players blow on the ball.
• The object of the game is to blow the ball into someone elses territory and have it roll off the table while in their territory.
• When the ball comes into your territory you have to blow it into someone elses territory before letting it roll off the edge of the table.
• You only blow when the ball comes into your territory.
• If you cause the ball to roll off the table you score a point.

Points can be scored during free games for kids or you can just play for fun. My kids usually like to keep score.
