Monkey see, monkey do
A simple, kind of silly game. Perfect for a big group of younger kids (or older kids, too). 🙂
Dibble dabble
Dibble dabble is a great game to play in the pool: fun, simple enough for younger kids, challenging enough for older kids, and, unlike some of my other favorite pool games, not overly rough/dangerous. 😉
Dodgeball
A classic playground or gym game, but pretty easily played in other settings and with a big group or a small group.
Four on the couch
A good indoor party game for older kids or teenagers. It could kind of be a get-to-know-you game, too. It involves lots of memory and strategy.
First letter, last letter
A simple talking, thinking game. You don’t have to play with winners or losers; it’s mostly good for occupying time while waiting or driving.
