Fun Games for Small Groups of Kids

Line-up!
If the kids do not know each other that well, then this game will serve as the perfect icebreaker. Simply ask the children to line themselves up, in accordance to what you instruct. So, if you say "month of birth", the children have to make a line, starting with those who were born in January, followed by the February-borns, March-borns and so on. If you say "height-wise", the kids have to make a line from the shortest to the tallest. Similarly, you can think of some other things and ask the children to arrange themselves. By doing this, the kids will get to interact and at the same time, know a lot of things about one another.

Freeze!
This is an interesting indoor game for small group of kids. To play this game, you would need a music system and some good dance music. Choose one of the kids as "It" and instruct the rest that when the music starts, they have to dance and as soon as the music stops, they have to stop dancing too. They have to remain "frozen" in the same position. They can not move or talk or show their teeth. Now, the "It" has to come forward and without touching any of the kids, by doing some funny actions and moves, he has to make the other kids "unfreeze". The kid who laughs or moves or shows his teeth first becomes the new "It" and the game is repeated all over again!
