Alphabet Ventriloquist
A game for one or more players

How still can you keep your lips?

Dark and Stormy Night
A game for 1 or more players

When it's a no-electricity evening or a not so dry day, have these games handy for some indoor fun and play.

Flashlight Tag:
Play this like regular tag but instead of tagging with your hand, you tag with the light beam from a flashlight.

Puppet Show:
Put on a puppet show with dolls and toys. Act out one of the stories from the show.

Sing Along:
Sing some of your favorite songs or learn some new ones from the show.

Read My Face
A game for one or more players

Can you tell how someone is feeling by the look on her face?

Think of an emotion (happy, sad, angry, jealous). Keep the emotion secret - don't tell anyone. Keep your face blank - try not to show any emotion. On the count of three, quickly make the expression that matches the emotion you're thinking of. The first person who yells out the right emotion gets to go next.

The Seals on the Bus
A game for one or more players

A classic song with a twist

Make up new words to the song "The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round," but name animals instead of parts of a bus. Examples could be, "The dogs on the bus go bow-wow-wow" or "the chickens on the bus go cluck-cluck-cluck."

Two-In-One
A game for 2 or more players

These guys are best of friends, even if they sometimes disagree about hats. Put on a silly performance with your best friend.

Have a friend stand behind you with their arms under and through your arms. Then, pull your arms back behind you so their arms now look like your arms. Now, act out a silly little skit like putting on and taking off a hat. Next, change places and do something else.

Can you think of any other ways to do this kind of silly performance? How about mixing up legs?
