\"Classic<\/p>\n

Texas got record amounts of rain last month, and the cloudbursts have continued on into June, which means our little ones have had to occupy themselves indoors a little more than they’d like. Fortunately, Mom has a whole arsenal of indoor games that are perfect on a rainy day for keeping children corralled in a semi-orderly fashion. Next time your kids need to run off energy in a confined space, try one of these:<\/p>\n

SIMON SAYS<\/h2>\n

If you don\u2019t think \u201cSimon Says\u201d is a very challenging game, then you\u2019ve obviously never played with the Flanders boys! They are so tricky! You can\u2019t just do what Simon does. You\u2019ll have to listen closely if you hope to survive. Here\u2019s how the typical game goes at our house:<\/p>\n

\u201cSimon says hop on one foot.\u201d Depending on how long they have to hop, some of our clumsier kids drop out here.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow switch!\u201d Someone invariably does, and is also out.<\/p>\n

\u201cSimon says touch your ear!\u201d But he says it while touching his nose and knocks out two more players who follow suit.<\/p>\n

\u201cSimon says to rub your tummy and pat your head.\u201d It\u2019s a complicated move, but most of us have this one down now.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow rub your head and pat your tummy.\u201d In our rush to prove we can make this change smoothly, we fail to notice Simon didn\u2019t issue that command. Three more get out.<\/p>\n

\u201cSimon says hold your breath.\u201d At Mom\u2019s insistence, \u201cSimon says stop.\u201d But not until a couple of the more determined players have started turning purple\u2026<\/p>\n

Another good trick: “Simon says, ‘Don’t smile!'” Even our most stoic kids find it impossible to keep a straight face when that command has been issued. \ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n

\"Simon<\/p>\n

DUCK, DUCK, GOOSE <\/h2>\n

Players sit in a circle, while one person (the Goose) walks around the outer circumference of the circle, touching each head in turn and saying, \u201cDuck.\u201d “Duck.” “Duck.” “Duck.”<\/p>\n

When he says, \u201cGoose\u201d instead, that person must chase him around the circle and catch him before he sits down in the vacated spot. Otherwise, she becomes the new goose.<\/p>\n

\"Goose\"<\/p>\n

RED LIGHT, GREEN LIGHT<\/h2>\n

Players line up on one end of the room, and Mom sits on the other side of the room. <\/p>\n

She covers her eyes and calls out “green light,” at which point all the players rush forward. <\/p>\n

When she cries, “red light,” players immediately stop moving as Mom uncovers her eyes. <\/p>\n

If she spots anybody still moving while the light is red, they must return to the starting line and begin again. <\/p>\n

Otherwise, everybody remains motionless until the light turns green. <\/p>\n

First person to touch Mom wins and gets to play the part of the traffic light on the next round.<\/p>\n

\"Red<\/p>\n

DOGGIE, DOGGIE, WHERE\u2019S YOUR BONE? <\/h2>\n

Players sit in a circle with “The Doggie” in the middle. <\/p>\n

One person hides the \u201cbone\u201d (a rock or stick) behind his back while the Doggie\u2019s eyes are closed, then the Doggie tries to guess who has it. <\/p>\n

Once he does, that person becomes the Doggie and the game continues.<\/p>\n

\"Doggie\"<\/p>\n

MUSICAL CHAIRS<\/h2>\n

Another fun indoor game for rainy days is Musical Chairs. To play, place a circle of chairs with seats facing out in the center of the room. There should be one fewer chair than there are players.<\/p>\n

Whoever is coordinating this game should sing or play a tune on their phone or piano. As long as the music is going, the players circle the chairs. But once the music stops, they all scramble to sit down. The player left without a seat is out of the game. <\/p>\n

Remove one more chair and start another round. Continue until there is only one chair (and two players) left. Whoever gets the seat after that last round wins the game.<\/p>\n

\"Chair\"<\/p>\n

QUIET WATER, STILL WATER<\/h2>\n

Mom calls out \u201cQuiet Water, Still Water, 1 2 3. See how quiet and still you can be.\u201d <\/p>\n

She then watches to see who\u2019ll be first to move or make noise, and calls them out when they do. The quietest, stillest player left at the end of the game wins and gets to judge the next round.<\/p>\n

Okay, so that last one isn\u2019t about burning off excess energy, but about giving Mom a break. Sometimes I need it! <\/p>\n
