With autumn here there seems to be a lot my rainy days ahead.
Is there anything better than being snuggled up in your most comfy clothes, listening to the rain as you play familiar childhood games with your family? Nope!
Classic games in particular are great for helping children develop their communication and language, critical thinking, and personal, social and emotional skills (turn taking, sharing, losing and winning).
So I’ve devised a list of my favourite classic rainy day games for you to enjoy with your family.
Cards
Monopoly
Backgammon
Pictionary
Trivial Pursuit
Connect Four
Cluedo
Guess Who?
Dominos
Uno
Charades
Mouse Trap
Snakes and Ladders
Operation
Chess
Twister
Scrabble
Hungry Hippos
Jenga
Marbles
Can you tell I’m an 80’s kid?
I love knowing my children will enjoy the same games I did growing up, and although we play newer games too, there is something about playing the classics that makes me feel like a kid again.
If you’ve enjoyed this post please share and let me know what your favourite rainy day games are. I’d love to hear from you!
