Family Games for Indoors and Outdoors
- Treasure Hunt. The rules are simple and easy for both kids and adults. All players close their eyes while the leader hides a “treasure” — it can be anything from a toy to a coin or small souvenir. Once hidden, the fun begins: everyone tries to find the treasure!
- Tasting Game. A delicious game for sweet lovers! If you have more than three players, divide into two teams. Each player is blindfolded and offered something to taste — it could be ice cream, fruit, or even salad. The team with the most correct guesses wins!
- Fantas (Dares). This game works well both at home and outdoors. Each participant writes fun tasks on slips of paper. For example: dance, cluck like a chicken, flap your arms like a butterfly, or tell a joke.
- Bottle Bowling. You'll need plastic bottles, paint, and a tennis ball. Decorate the bottles to look like bowling pins and let them dry. Then fill them with water to give them weight. Your homemade bowling set is ready to play!
- Guess Who. This energetic guessing game will entertain even the most serious family members. Players take turns acting out an animal or bird using only gestures, facial expressions, and movements. The first person to guess correctly wins the round.
- Fairy Tale in a Circle. Perfect for both home and road trips! One person starts a story, for example: “Once upon a time there lived a grandma and a grandpa…” The next person continues: “And they had only a cat.” Each person adds a sentence, building a funny or unexpected fairy tale together. It can be long or end suddenly — that’s part of the fun!
