Any day's a great day for fun kids games! Rain, shine, or any season is a perfect time to play games.
Has it been awhile since you thought about fun kids games? Here's a short list to jog your memory .

Do you remember "Duck, Duck, Goose"?It's terrific fun, and can be played outdoors or in.
And believe it or not, it's fun for any age!Here's how it's played:

• Have the children all sit down in a circle (make a smaller circle for the little tykes).
  
• One person is "It," and he or she walks around the outside of the circle, touching the other children's heads saying "duck, duck, duck.
  "
• When he comes to the person whom he wants to chase him, he calls "goose.
  "
• The goose chases the "it" person around the circle, and the one who reaches the empty space first sits down.
  
• The other one is now "It"!

Add a few twists to the "Duck, Duck, Goose" game and you have another of the most fun children games called Indy 500:

• Have the kids sit in the circle (on the floor, or in chairs) and give each a number and name of a car (example: 1's are Ferraris, 2's are Fords).
  
• The game leader calls out a car name, and those cars have to get up and run around the circle.
  
• The first person back to their spot wins .
  .
  .
  BUT, the cars can have "mechanical difficulties", as their leader chooses.
  
• The leader might choose to holler "run out of gas!" or "flat tire!" or "no muffler!" or "turbo boost!"
• The person has to act/sound out those commands in their attempt to get back to their seat!

Of course, Hide and Seek is always a favorite, and for a sitting game, Old Maid is fun for parents, too!Think back about the games you played, or thumb through some magazines.
