It is now! Watching others can be immensely helpful when starting out with a you-you. I love the YoTricks YouTube channel. The game here is really player vs.
Who will win? Will the human remain in control, or will the cards refuse to cooperate? Trying to build a house of cards is a rite of passage, not to mention a feat of patience! Jacks is meant to be played with 2 players, but kids can practice on their own if they find themselves bored and without a partner. You may think marbles is an old fashioned outdoor game, but these kids demonstrate how to play indoors.
There are different versions of the game. Your kids could even make up their own rules! Like the game of jacks, kids can practice their marble-shooting skills solo. I adored string games when I was a kid!
There are a ton of these old-fashioned finger string games like Cat's Cradle. For flying adventures outside, look for areas that are free of trees, light poles and other obstructions. You won't have much money invested, though, so if you lose an "aircraft" or two, it's no big deal. It's just one of many games to play with just a ball. Teach one of these to the grandchildren, and they'll never again be bored on a sunny day. Some of these are best played with tennis balls, small rubber balls or softballs.
Some games require the larger playground balls. And don't overlook the fun of simply tossing or bouncing a ball back and forth. No matter what you end up doing, the grandkids will have a ball. Most grandparents have fond memories of classic outdoor games like tag, hopscotch and Swing the Statue. Try teaching one of these games to the grandchildren. They are cheap, easy and fun, and the kids will get their exercise.
You will, too, if you choose to play with them. But there is usually some need for a coach, line judge or referee if you don't run, hop and swing quite like you used to.
Have the grandkids in the evening? Try a lively game of flashlight tag. You don't need game boards or special decks of cards to have fun with the grands. Almost all card play involves math, but you'll also be teaching logic and improving memory and concentration.
Grandparents will get a good brain workout, too. Dedicated card players will want to sneak in a lesson or two about the conventions of card playing. Since card playing is a true lifelong activity, it pays to start the grandkids off right.
Remember the classic Robert Louis Stevenson poem "Swing"? Each player tries to knock out a little sand or whatever the cup is filled with without making the flag fall. The player who makes the flag fall must bow and concede defeat to the rest of the players. All players sit in a circle. If a player laughs or smiles, he or she is out. Play continues until only one player remains. This game requires a small, fluffy feather, a kleenex or a balloon.
All players stand or sit in a close circle. One player throws the feather into the air then blows the feather to keep it in the air.
The player that the feather comes closest to does the same, trying to prevent the feather from touching him or her or touching the ground. If the feather touches a player, that player is out of the game. A player who allows it to touch the floor is also out of the game. Each person has a piece of ribbon or string. One player stands in the center of the room and holds one end of each ribbon.
This is a fun game that used to be a staple in every household. You basically have a group of ten jacks and a small rubber ball. What makes this game so fun is that it is never the same. Every time you play, you get a different experience. Hand-eye coordination is a must and you never totally master the game. Hours of fun! There was a time when marbles was the hottest game in the world. The combination of fun and collecting these colorful balls were enough to keep even the most bored kid in town engaged.
If you want to give your kids a great old fashioned game to master, marbles is a fine choice. There are many variations of the rules, but marbles is a simple game to learn and understand. Many games are created with the premise of helping kids to learn and dominoes is the perfect example. This fun game requires some basic number work and it will help your kid to excel in math. What is more, kids love the game as much as adults.
The best part of dominoes is setting them up to fall down after you are through. Chinese checkers is a fun game that really bears little resemblance to the traditional checker game.
