During these times of stay at home, moms everywhere are scrambling for something new to keep their kids busy. The board games and puzzles have been exhausted and now they need something else that doesn’t cost an incredible amount of money.
What are kids printables?
For those of you who have never used a printable, you’re missing out. A printable is a game created by someone else that you can use easily. All you do is download the PDF file, open it up, and then print. You may need scissors to cut up the pieces, but other than that it’s a ready-made game for your kids.
There are a variety of printables that you can get for your kids, but we decided to break them down into groups.
Would You Rather Questions (Printables)
If you have never played would you rather, then you’re missing a good time. It’s a game where someone is given two options and the participants choose one or the other. For example, would you rather eat a worm or eat a cricket?
Would You Rather is a wonderful way to get to know the people you’re playing with and it usually leads to some laughs.
