Indoor Kids Games--Board Games

So far I’ve spent most of my time blogging about games and activities to get your family up and moving outside. Although it is important to keep our kids active during the summer, sometimes it just isn’t possible to be outside. For us that means it’s rainy, but for some of you that may mean it’s just too hot to be outside. That is when you want to have some indoor kids games to help keep them busy.

With all of the new interactive gaming systems sometimes we forget about the classic indoor kids games that kids will actually love. If you are looking to spend some quality time with the kids I suggest locating some of these board games I’m sure you remember playing as a kid.

For kids age six and up try Sorry. A game of luck, strategy and determination where players chase each other around the game board trying to be the first to get all of their pieces from start to home.

If you have children eight or older they might enjoy playing Scrabbleor Monopoly. Scrabble is an indoor kids game where players try to score as many points as possible by forming words from letters on the tiles and placing them on the game board creating a crossword of sorts. Monopoly is a riveting game of luck, chance, and wheeling and dealing--all of which can make some lucky player rich, rich, rich!

For kids nine and older the game of Life might be just the right fit. Life is a classic board game that breaks down an entire lifespan into a series of choices and chance.

All of these fun indoor kids games have several versions to choose from. If your kids are really into the bells and whistles, look for the electronic versions. They are still board games but have some component that is electronic. Be sure to check out all of the choices to find the one that will best fit your family to ensure an enjoyable game day.
