Fun Dynamic Kindergarten Activities & Games 

obstacle course

These fun, dynamic, free kindergarten activities and games are guaranteed to burn some energy, increase physical fitness, and improve gross motor skills. A necessity if you've got little ones running around!

Aside from the obvious health benefits of active games for kindergarten age kids, these games also provide children the opportunity to develop social, fine motor, and problem-solving skills.

They build confidence and self-esteem as youngsters accomplish tasks they've never done before and learn how to move their bodies in new and different ways.

They also improve children's balance, hand-eye, and eye-foot coordination while teaching them basic sports skills they'll need as they get older.

Our free kindergarten games will provide you with a bunch of fun, creative ideas perfect for these very important years of your child's growth and development.

But equally as important, they'll give you the opportunity to spend some great quality time laughing and playing together! Some of the best memories I have are times I spent with my daughter out in our backyard running around together playing games we invented.

Don't worry if you don't feel confident organizing physically active games. We provide detailed instructions and helpful tips to make you look like a pro!

Are your kindergartners climbing the walls on a cold, rainy day? You definitely need to check out our indoor activities, which will keep them active but under control with safe games suitable for inside.

I haven't met a kid yet who doesn't love to race around on a scooter board. On your knees, your backside, or your tummy you can play all kinds of chase games and kicking, throwing, and dodging games.
