Play like this… “The first item is a pillow.” Each team has to race and take a picture of a pillow in a group text. This can be a pillow on the couch in the lobby or a pillow in the hotel room. In the same format, have the mediator text “the next item is a local map.” Each team will race to take a picture of a local map and text it to the group. The team that returns the first image to the group, wins that round. Continue on with fun items like

- room number
- fitness room
- red chair
- funny picture in the hallway
- vending machine item
- etc.

Use the scavenger hunt checklist of items to guide the moderator in this phone scavenger hunt game.

This game is so much fun for an older group of teens or young adults. Heck, even grannie and gramps will have a good time with this fast-paced fun game.

What are the rules for this resort treasure hunt?

Since a hotel treasure hunt is a public scavenger hunt, it’s essential to go over a few rules. Manors and teaming up are two of the most important scavenger hunt rules.

The indoor scavenger hunt rules are a combination of the hotel rules and your family rules. Make sure that the kids know that they shouldn’t be wandering around the hotel alone and to always be with an adult from their own family while looking for things. It’s important to also team up young kids and older kids.

Also, abide by the rules of the hotel that there is no running or disturbing the other guests! Have them take a pencil so that they can mark off the items as they find them!

Who is this Hotel Photo Scavenger Hunt for?

Do You Know Your Family Game

So what is this family trivia game? Do you know your family is a family-friendly game filled with questions and challenges. The family-friendly trivia questions require players to ask a question about themselves and their family to answer the questions. For added fun, there are challenge chards or action cards. The fun game cards are quick and easy so toddlers and grandparents are welcome to join in on the fun.

Let’s take a look at game trivia questions and family challenges that are a great fit for the entire family.

How Well Do You Know Your Family Questions

If you are familiar with family conversation starter questions, then you will understand how these family game cards work. Typically conversation cards for families require someone to answer in a way that is telling about oneself. However, for a fun twist, in this know your family? game, the fun questions are not introspective. Instead, they require a player to ask interesting questions and the rest of the family answers the questions in observance of the person asking the question.

Let’s look at a few family trivia card questions…

Question: Who is my favorite teacher?
Question: Which song do I know the most words to?
Question: If I could have a superpower, what would it be?

If a family member gets the right answer, they get to keep the card.

Mini Family Challenges

To step up the excitement, there are competitive challenges in this fun card game for families. This allows, in addition to questions, a little bit of friendly competition and action via fun challenges to do at home.

These fun challenges include supplies found in the home but if there is something you do not have, it can easily be replaced with something else so there is no need to buy more than the game itself.

Examples of family-friendly challenge cards include…

Action: Start at a table with chairs. At go, all players must get up and run around the house. The first player back to their chair wins the card.
Action: All players fold paper airplanes. The paper plane that flies the furthest gets to keep the card.
Action: See which player can stack the most coins in 30 seconds using only one hand. The winner takes the card.

In each of these frantic family fun competitions, the winner is the first person to finish and takes the card.

Do You Know Your Family Game Instructions

Now that you are ready to play, it’s important to know the instructions. The how well do you know your fam game instructions are rather simple. The game objective is to collect the most cards by the time the game is through.

To begin, download and print the do you really know me questions and actions. There is an editable page you can use to personalize your own questions and challenges. Once printed, you may choose to laminate your family game card set. This will help you reuse the set over and over. (However, if you don’t, save it to your computer to print as often as you would like.)

Cut your set of cards up to create a deck of cards. You may divide your conversation starter cards and action cards by card type or keep them as one complete set.

Start with the youngest player. Allow them to draw a card from the deck and ask a question or offer a family challenge. In challenges, the first to complete the challenge correctly gets the card. In game questions, the first to answer correctly gets to keep the card.

Make sure everyone has equal playing time. Go around the circle until you exhaust the deck or reach a time limit. At the end of the game, count your cards.

The player that has the most cards wins the game and REALLY KNOWS THEIR FAMILY!

You can twist up this game in various ways. Ideas for playing include…

Play kids vs parents – which set of family members will get the glory of the win?
Play vs the clock – create rapid-fire questions with each answer or challenge having a time limit.
Play in pairs – pair up players especially if younger players might need older kids or adults to help them.
Play in teams – this can be boys verse girls, age groups, generations, and more

Do You Know Your Family Printable

So why are the family challenge games your solution? Well if you’re tired of the same one-word answers from your child like “yes,” “no,” or “fine,” then these conversation cards might be your answer.

The printable family trivia game combines conversation starters and fun action challenges to create a memorable family game night. Tun family conversation starters into a game and use it as an opportunity to spark conversations with your child mixed with really silly challenges.

It’s the perfect game for the whole family and promises you’ll have a blast and laugh. It’s the easiest game to get to know your family. These cost you less than a Starbucks drink but they are priceless on the spectrum of amazing family memories created!

Ready for learning fun? Enjoy these cool hands-on math games for kids. Great for younger and older students, fitting all grade levels and areas of math.

Games help kids with strategic thinking and problem-solving. Not only that, but hands-on math games that allow kids to explore number concepts and combinations with manipulatives help them establish a deeper understanding of numbers and operations.

What are some Fun Math Games for Kids?

Kids’ games are just fun. Math games are a break in curriculum and instruction and allow kids to play without even realizing they learning. Often the hands-on math activity creates a deeper understanding of a math concept before transitioning to a new math unit.

A few fun math games to introduce into the classroom or even a family game night include…

These games are fun, but did you know you can make your own homemade math games? Additionally, online math games are fun, they add additional screen time which is not always desirable in the classroom. Let’s get the kids off an electronic device and back into hands-on learning with printable mathematics board games and puzzles.

A quick game is great for kinetic and visual learners in any grade level. If you want to motivate your young learner, try one of the free math games below.

Take a look at these super fun DIY Math Games for Kids – preschool or middle school. Let the fun begin.

Springtime is the season of flowers, and this game is sure to get kids excited for all the beautiful blooms they see. You can play the game with real or fake flowers, but the artificial flowers have sturdier stems that will stick in the playdough better. Roll the dice, and add that number of flowers to the pot. Easy peasy. You can practice subtracting, too. | Fun-a-Day

You’ll be very “hoppy” with this math game that helps kids learn how to count to 10 and practice addition. It’s perfect for preschoolers who are obsessed with amphibians or can be used in kindergarten, 1st grade and even 2nd grade as a an indoor recess game. | Homeschool Preschool

Play a game of leapfrog to improve addition or multiplication skills. This game is twice the fun because first, you’ll make origami frogs together before learning to make them “jump” to get to the lily pad numbers. | Teach Beside Me

Practice geometry concepts with homemade dice made out of tissue boxes and duct tape. You can make this simple for little ones (like shape identification) or more complex for older children with questions that quiz them on things like right angles. Adapt the game for children in 3rd grade to 6th grade. | Look, We’re Learning

Do your 5th grade kids have a new skill? Turn into a fun game. Fractions and decimals can be challenging for some learners, but it’s easier to grasp when you make them fun. This fractions-to-decimals game is a great way to do just that. In this printable math board game, using dice to determine the number of spaces you go, the older kids will move around the gameboard, solving problems as they go. When children are first learning this process, you can use decimal grids or even calculators in the game to help them familiarize themselves with the equivalent numbers. This equivalent fractions game is also great for 4th grade or 6th grade.| Math Geek Mama

$fractions and decimals math board game printable$

This Base Ten Math Game is helpful kids ages 2 through 8, but it’s especially useful after kindergarten when kids start learning the concept of base 10 numbers. Plus, it’s a handy way to get more use out of those pool noodles in the garage. You’ll need two colors: one color will be used for all the 10s while another color will be used for the ones (this pool noodle will need to be cut into 10 equal segments). Use them to practice numbers 1 through 100. | The Educators’ Spin On It

Work on multiplication math facts with a basketball-themed shoot and score game. You’ll match the problems to the products to help reinforce times tables. It’s definitely a lot more fun than doing multiplication worksheets. | Look, We’re Learning

Didn’t think we could get A to Z when it came to alphabet vehicles, did you???

I’m a huge fan of having fun options for any and all occasions! Some fun ideas to pair this with would be for a…

Sleepover Party
Classroom Activity
Birthday Party
Family Craft Night

Make sure to grab some paint, markers, and crayons for the kids so that they can decorate and color every page just like they imagine!

What are tips for using handprint worksheets?

Since not all handprints are the same, there are a few things to keep in mind. Talk to the kids and let them know that their handprints are not going to fit exactly into the handprint area, but that close enough is fine! That way, they won’t stress out about it and can move on with the rest of the activity.

You can also encourage them to think outside the box and trace their own handprints to recreate some of the transportation vehicles. This shows them that they’re capable of following directions and also using analytical thought to create something new and different, too.

While these A-Z transportation printables focus on quite a few options, it’s not a totally complete list. Have the kids use what they’ve learned and create another page about a vehicle that they haven’t done. They’ll love creative independence!

Instructions

Once you download the public transportation workers, it’s a simple and fun process!

First, get the worksheets. Download your Transportation Printable Worksheets

Once they’re printed, make sure that they are in alphabetical order, and start. You can leave it as easy as that, or make it more, too. The options are up to you!

Talk to the kids about the different vehicle on the page, and then have them either stamp their handprint in the handprint area or trace and color it in.

You can also paint small hands with a paintbrush and allow each child to stamp their hand on their artwork. Let the hand dry and then continue to color your transportation coloring page.

They do this for each of the printable pages and work their way through! It’s actually a catch-22 in that it’s a fun activity for kids but also a cute keepsake for grandparents or you!
