Indoor games for kids on a rainy day
Step 1 of 3How many players?
Names (optional) Add names so turns are called by name
First names or nicknames, saved only on this phone. Pick a kid’s age so the youngest goes first and quiz cards fit each kid; tick “Adult” for grown-ups: they get harder words to act out and no kids-only topics.
Rain all day, the kids are stuck inside and keep asking for screens? Instead of everyone on their own device, play together: the phone only reads the card and runs the timer, the fun is acting, drawing, guessing and laughing. Choose the number of players, the youngest age and the time above to get a ready-made session.
☔ Tip: clear a space in the living room for acting and keep paper and pens nearby for Sketch & Guess (no paper? untick "We have paper and a pen"). Play for 20 minutes, take a water break, and tap "Play again" if the kids want more.
