This is one game that every child likes to play. Let your child build his/her home, construction site, or any other structure.

Puzzles
Apart from keeping children occupied, puzzles also improve problem-solving and cognitive abilities of your little one. Children develop a sense of achievement when they solve the puzzle and look forward to doing it more often. However, make sure you start off by giving them simple puzzles before moving to complex ones. The key is to get them interested in puzzles and that happens when they learn to solve the simple puzzles initially.

Guess the sound
Firstly, blindfold a person who is taking up the challenge. Then take items that can produce some kind of sounds. The blindfolded person has to guess the item from the sound it creates. Check out some of the instances – you can staple a paper, hit the side of a glass with a spoon, take a comb and rub your fingers, banging the wood blocks and so on.

Artistic Antics
Form an order and take turns to draw the picture. Bring out the colours and have fun with them. The first player begins with painting and draws a part of the picture. The following player takes it forward and leaves behind at the next stage. The process continues until the picture is completed. If you do not have a big group then have a predetermined number of turns. You can decide before the art begins on what you are going to draw. See what you get at the end and share it in your groups.

People of different age groups can play this game. Make teams and start your game in the home. To make it interesting, you can make a rule of losers making way for the next team while the winning team gets to play as long as they are winning.

Dots and Boxes
The simplicity of this game is what makes it special. You just need paper and pencil to start the game. Two players go one after another to add a single horizontal or vertical line between two dots which would have been set in a grid form. When a player arrives to complete a box he/she gets to continue right away and adds another line. If that line happens to form another box, the player carries on. The process needs to be followed and the player makes way for the opponent when there is no opportunity to form a box. The game ends when there are no lines left and the player with more boxes is the winner.

Keep the games simple and encourage your little ones to participate. These child-friendly games are fun in their own way that helps you build a bond with your child, which rarely happens when you allow them to play games in mobile phones.
