It can be hard to come up with ideas for things to do with kids during the winter, but luckily there are a number of indoor games that you can play with them. From hide-and-seek to tag, these games will keep your youngsters entertained for hours on end.
Candyland
One of the best ways to keep kids entertained this winter is to play indoor games. One of the most popular games is Candyland. This game is simple to play and can be played by both kids and adults.
Candyland consists of a board with various pieces of candy. Players move their pieces around the board by rolling a die and moving the piece that corresponds to the number on the die. The goal of the game is to collect all of the candy pieces in your color before your opponent does.
Another great indoor game for kids is Spin Doctor. This game is similar to Yo-Yo Ma’s telephone game. Players take turns spinning a wheel with different colors on it. They then have to match the color wheel on their player with the wheel on the table. If they match it, they get to pick up a card that tells them how many tokens they can put in their player. If they matches it three times, they can pick up a bonus token that allows them to make more moves next turn.
Both Candyland and Spin Doctor are easy enough for kids to play but challenging enough that adults won’t be able to beat them in a hurry. They’re perfect games
Jenga
One popular game that can be enjoyed indoors during the winter is Jenga. This game is simple to set up and takes just a few minutes to play. All you need are some blocks, and a Jenga tower or other tall structure.
To play Jenga, first assemble the blocks by stacking them on top of each other until they reach the top of the tower. Once the blocks are in place, start pulling them out one at a time, making sure not to let any fall off the tower. If a block falls off the tower, it must be put back in place before you can continue playing.
Jenga is a fun game that is perfect for staying entertained during cold winter days. It is also easy to transport and can be played anywhere there is enough space.
Catan
One of the best ways to keep kids entertained this winter is by playing Catan. This game is a classic that has been played by children and adults for years. It is a game of strategy and negotiation that can be enjoyed by all ages.
To play Catan, players need a board, cards, and pieces of wood. The board is set up like a map of an island. The game begins with each player taking turns placing one of their pieces on the starting board. Then, players take turns playing one of their cards. The card tells them how many resources they should produce (wood, wheat, or stone) and which type of resource they should produce (stone quarries only allow for stone production). Players then take the corresponding number of wooden cubes from the supply and put them on the corresponding spots on their player board.
The goal of the game is to collect as many resources as possible and build up your empire on the island before your opponents do. There are several different rules that can be added to make the game more complex or challenging, but the basic gameplay is simple and easy to follow.

Connect Four
One great way to keep kids entertained this winter is to connect four pieces of plastic circles together. This classic game is easy to play and can be played in any room in the house.
Another great indoor game for kids is Connect Four. This game is also easy to play, but it takes a bit more strategy than simply connecting four circles. Players must place their pieces in such a way that they can only be connected by lines going through the corners of the pieces. If a player’s piece is moved, it becomes unavailable for scoring.
Both games are great options for keeping young children active and entertained during the cold months. They are also great alternatives to traditional indoor games like video games or board games that can be difficult for smaller hands to hold.
Uno
One of the best ways to keep kids entertained during the winter is to play some indoor games. Uno is a great game to start with because it is easy to learn and can be played by both children and adults.
To play Uno, players take turns laying down cards face-up on the table. The goal of the game is to get as many cards as possible into your hand without being able to opponent. If two players have the same number of cards in their hands, they either exchange cards or draw new ones from the deck. Cards that are turned over while in play are also counted as part of your hand.
Uno is a quick game that can be played in a short amount of time. It is also a good choice for when there isn’t much space available for other activities. Kids will love playing Uno together and parents can feel confident that it is a safe game for their children to play.
Scrabble
One of the best ways to keep kids entertained this winter is by playing some indoor games. One of the most popular games is Scrabble. This game can be played with two or more players, and is a great way to keep everyone entertained.
Another indoor game that is perfect for winter is Taboo. This game can be played with any number of players, and is a lot of fun. It involves guessing what certain words are meant to be, and can be very challenging.
If you want to go a bit more unique with your games, try out Jenga. This game is perfect for groups of any size, and is a lot of fun. Players must work together to remove blocks from the tower without losing any pieces.
No matter what game you choose, make sure to keep your kids entertained this winter with some indoor games!
Checkers
One of the best ways to keep kids entertained this winter is to get them involved in some indoor games. One of the most popular games is checkers, and it can be played by kids of all ages.
To play checkers, you will need a board, pieces, and a die. The board should have 12 squares, each square measuring 2 inches by 2 inches. The pieces are two types of discs: a white disc and a black disc. The white disc is smaller than the black disc, and it has a hole in the center. The black disc is larger than the white disc and does not have a hole in the center.
The game of checkers is played like this: Two players take turns placing one of their discs on one of the squares on the board. If the white disc goes into the black disc’s hole, then the player loses the game. If the white disc doesn’t go into the black disc’s hole, then the player can either capture (take) the black disc with their white disc or move their white disc any number of spaces along the row or column it’s currently on.
