The kids sit in a circle - one gets up and walks around the circle patting each child on the head saying "duck". When he pats one and says "goose" then that child gets up and chases the other right around the circle and the original one has to sit back down in the space the other left (before he gets caught). Clear as mud???? Not sure what happens if the "patter" gets caught though??]]> Fri, 03 Oct 2008 14:13:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21387&PID=507743&title=games-for-kids#507743 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21387&PID=507559&title=games-for-kids#507559 Author: Bizzy

yep eden loves that one.... i lay her on my legs while sitting and let her head hang down and she rolls off them while i hold her hands...

the boys like running and jumping and kicking the ball around and are 3 and 4.

love building roads and making up train tracks.    ]]> Fri, 03 Oct 2008 11:36:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21387&PID=507555&title=games-for-kids#507555 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21387&PID=507179&title=games-for-kids#507179 Author: jack_&_charli

jack loves playing bingo, doing puzzles, duck duck goose and he also loves playing hide and seek with charli

charli loves anything that jack is doing.....but mostly pushing her pram around

they also love it when we build a play hut inside.......get the dining chairs and throw a sheet over the top, then sit under it and play with toys ]]> Thu, 02 Oct 2008 21:12:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21387&PID=507179&title=games-for-kids#507179 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21387&PID=507172&title=games-for-kids#507172 Author: tishy

Does grabbing onto Mammys hair count as a game? Cos they love that too ]]> Thu, 02 Oct 2008 21:07:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21387&PID=507172&title=games-for-kids#507172 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21387&PID=507152&title=games-for-kids#507152 Author: busymum

Can it include activities like glueing and glittering paper etc?

six months to 1 year
emptying and filling
peek-a-boo by putting a small blankie over them/a toy

Age 1-2:
pushing a toy car and getting the child to "go fetch"
water play (pouring containers, squeezing sponges, etc)
Catching balloons

Age 2-3
Run and kick a ball together
Playdough
Icing and decorating (with lollies or 100's and 1000's) plain biscuits
Shapes container
Throwing and catching balloons
Jump on trampoline

Ages 3-5
Running races
Catch a ball
Rhyme and song games (e.g. basic counting songs like the train song that collects carriages ie children)
Galloping together (face each other and hold hands, gallop sideways)


Depending on how much time you have, check out the "Your Child at Play" series. It is broken down into the same age groups, is at the local public library, and is a huge resource for that kind of thing.]]> Thu, 02 Oct 2008 20:50:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21387&PID=507152&title=games-for-kids#507152 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21387&PID=507080&title=games-for-kids#507080 Author: KH25

hide n seek?

Daniel likes chasing me, I crawl up the hall and duck into a room and close the door with a slight gap and he crawls after me and cracks up laughing when he finds me]]> Thu, 02 Oct 2008 19:57:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21387&PID=507075&title=games-for-kids#507075 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21387&PID=507067&title=games-for-kids#507067 Author: Mikaela

I have to write a piece about the best games to play with kids, divided into the following categories:
newborn to six months
six months to 1 year
1 - 2 years
2 - 3 years
3 - 5 years
5 - 7 years more or less.

Anyway, I am so stuck. So far I have peekaboo and looking in mirrors for newborns, rolling a ball back and forth and stacking cups etc for 6-12 months and puzzles for 3-5 year olds +. But that's where my inspiration stops.

What games do you love to play with your kids and how old are they? Please give me something to go on here!
