Play shouldn’t feel like a chore.
These simple games show that holiday fun doesn’t have to be complicated. Just a few playful tweaks can make any day magical. The best part is that many of these games can also be used during everyday routines. Shifting from one activity to the next can be tough for both kids and parents. Whether it’s getting out the door, cleaning up, or winding down for bed, those in-between moments can feel stressful. Kids need time to switch gears, and adding a little play helps them move, reset, and make transitions easier. Try turning these moments into quick games. A little play can make moving from one thing to the next smoother, more joyful, and fun for the whole family.
