23 Silly Activities That Are Just Plain Fun

• Mixed-up art faces are not just silly. They are also pretty stinking cute.
• Who wants to attempt a puzzle apple?
• Encourage some rowdy wrestling or rather Sumo wrestling.
• Make some fancy tp roll sunglasses and roll out a red carpet (or towel) for a funny fashion show.
• Please print out a pizza mad lib for each of you and take turns filling it out. Who wins for the silliest story?
• When art meets science in ooey gooey oily art the giggles will come naturally.
• Host a tissue dance. (I thought this one might have to do with boogers. It doesn’t but it’s still funny. 😉 )
• This one IS about boogers. The kids will love some fake snot slime.
• Get moving with activity dice, and when it’s your turn to roar like a lion, make it loud!
• Have some family circus fun. Learn how to make balloon dogs together.
• Make a straw maze in the living room.

Start a dance party in a place you wouldn’t usually dance. Try a hallway or the back porch.

• Storytelling can be one of the silliest things of all. Crayon storytelling mixes one of our favorite art materials and one of our favorite activities.
• Messy = fun with monster blow painting. (And the results are AWESOME!)
• Once the kids get started paper plate skating, you will have to join in!
• Just for today allow for playing with your food. You won’t be sorry.
• Trace a few simple objects for a visual scavenger hunt. (This one is designed for toddlers but would be great for any age).
• Tic-tac-toe is extra fun when it’s bacon and egg tic-tac-toe.
• It doesn’t matter what time of year it is; indoor snowball fights are fun. (And all you need are some socks.)
• If you want to get extra silly and win some bonus “fun mom” points, bring out the poop jokes. They are a winner for older and younger kids.
• Make pet rocks for a silly craft that combines creativity and connection.
• Play the classic game of Simon Says.
• Play Uno Dare or another extra silly card game.
