Winter Indoor Games

[KingstonMom]

For when it is too cold to play outside, or just to beat cabin fever, what are some different things you do during the colder months?

Here are a few things we have created:
Today we did Red Light, Green Light. (I made up three circles fr construction paper and taped them to pencil crayons. red, yellow, green of course) I would stand in the kitchen with my coffee and held up a colour. RED LIGHT MEANS STOP!!! FREEZE!! GREEN LIGHT MEANS GO GO GO GO!! They would all go nuts. My 3 and 4 yr old esp loves this game.
We alter it a bit by saying, Stomp around like an elephant now GO GO GO!! Then, yellow- go ssslllloooowww like a trutle...Hop like a bunny GO GO GO!!!
A good 30 mins and they were pooped!

With green painters tape, I created a hop scotch on the kitchen floor. gave them a little ball of tape as their 'stone' and voila. Learning their numbers and hopping skills at once! It took about 10 minutes to make (I made numbers on the floor with tape too) Comes off in a since with no markings.

Also with painters tape (cheap kind fr dollar store) I drew 'dotted lines' all throughout the house one evening. When kids came the next day, they followed all the lines throughtout the main floor (which goes in a big circle all around the house). We did a chho-choo train and assigned kids as the engine, the caboose and the middle cars. They held on to each other and they were off! Good, cheap, busy fun!

Today we traced out our bodies on kraft paper and the older girls are colouring theirs in during little kids nap time.

Looking for more indoor ideas so if you have any, please share!
