4. Get out the cards and play Go Fish.

5. Build a fort. A blanket or two, pillows and your imagination! Use dining chairs, sofa cushions .... you remember how, right?

6. Indoor Treasure Hunt. Hide items around the house for kids to find.

7. Plastic bottle bowling. Use empty soda or water bottles to make a bowling lane.

8. Indoor "Snowball Fight" Write  a word on pieces of paper, and crumple it up. Use known and unknown words for all the "snowballs." Crumple the pieces of paper up, and have the kids throw them at each other. When one gets hit by a snowball, they must uncrumple,read the word to stay in the game.

9. Freeze! Choose some of your kids’ tunes, have them to dance until the music stops. When it does, they have to freeze in whatever position they find themselves in.

10. The listening game . Use several miscellaneous items. Have the kids look at all the items, and then take them away. Ask one child to hide his or her eyes and listen as you pick up an item and make sounds with it. Then ask the child to guess which item made the sound.
