I love pulling out my copy of “500 5 Minute Quick Games: Quick and Easy Activities for 3-6 year olds” by Jackie Silberg. The book is perfect because it is such a wonderful resource book. The book features the following types of games: colors, active, birthday, rhyming, relaxing, science, counting, math, drama, alphabet, animal, and music games as well as many others.
The book retails for about $20 and is 270 pages long. It is put out by Gryphon House books.
I love the relaxing games section. The “Time to Relax” game is great to use on stressful days and is quite helpful at calming my preschoolers. I also love the “Stop and Go” game. This game is not only relaxing, but it teaches the children how to listen as well.
Since the games do not take very long to play, you can play many of them a day and your young children will never get bored. And if they do not get bored, they are less likely to get into trouble.
