Indoor Activity #4: Compete in the Candy Olympics In both cases, you keep score and award the winner a prize. Each kid takes a turn and the goal is to either: a) fish as many items as possible out of the bowl in the shortest amount of time, or b) guess what each item is entirely by touch. Obviously, since you don’t want kids collecting dangerous needles and/or drinking Mimosas before noon, the bowl is filled with other small (but safe) objects.
INDOOR ACTIVITY FULL
‘What’s in the Bowl?’ is a kid’s party version of the classic baby shower game in which blindfolded guests fish for tiny safety pins in a bowl full of uncooked rice. Just remember to keep an eye on all of these things when you’re done, as some may still be a safety hazard for kids. A collection of small objects from around the house: coins, pieces of crayon, marbles, goldfish crackers, a pen lid, the cap to the toothpaste, whatever you got.Indoor Activity #3: ‘What’s in the Bowl?’ You can also call it Detective Game and dole out little Sherlock Holmes hats instead. Either way, work backward to hide your clues around the house before the party begins and start the game with an elaborate story that both hypes up what’s in the treasure chest and gets them excited about the impending adventure.
INDOOR ACTIVITY SERIES
What kid doesn’t enjoy dressing up like a pirate and scavenging the house in search of hidden treasure? Treasure Hunt can either be a group effort, in which all the kids work together to answer a series of clues to find the hidden treasure chest or a competitive scavenger hunt that pits two teams against one another.

The trick is keeping kids engaged and occupied even when they’re stuck inside - for that you need some awesomely fun and silly indoor activities and games. All parents want their kid’s birthday party to be a fun, simple, memorable occasion that doesn’t break the bank - but entertaining kids indoors is never as easy as letting them run around in the yard.
