What are some simple yet fun games?

Question

For a volunteering thing, I am watching 3 - 10 year olds during the city-wide rummage sale. I, my favorite teacher (Leah), and her niece (Taylor) are doing this. We need fun, simple, and cheap games and crafts. I am 11 years old now (if that helps).

Answer 1

this is quite a fun game and it makes them think.When you say stop and they have to walk on the spot. When you say go they have to stop. When you say clap they jump and when you say jump they clap. It's confusing at first but once you get the hang of it, it's really fun.

Hope this helps! : )

Answer 2

Whatever gets you motivated being you're only 11, should still appeal to 3 - 10 year olds. There's nothing at your age that won't appeal to younger kids unless it's so juvenille that it's impossible to even come up with. So go for what things you like, because you can relate to those kids anymore than older adults and teenagers can on Y! Answers. Know what I mean?

Answer 3

1: Try buying some cheap paint supplies and a big poster board for everyone to paint on.

2: Buy some gluesticks, construction paper and markers then help kids create their own hat or crown or whatever.

3: Have a simple scavnger hunt. Let you and your other volunteers dress like pirates and hide a bag of gold chocolates somewhere! Create an easy map and let the kids do the work.

4: Play classic games like Simon Says, Hide and Seek, and others.

5: Buy beads, letter beads, and string to help kids create their own bracelet or necklace.

Hope these ideas help! if you want more ideas check out your local craft store to see what they have! Good luck!
