One of our favourite games to play as a family is completely free, can be played anywhere and needs nothing else to play other than your imagination.
We call it the cloud game and although it can be played anywhere I find that it’s best played in the car when the kids are super bored as it always makes us laugh and keeps us occupied for a while.
All you have to do is look at the sky and tell everyone else what you can see so they can look for it too – everyone’s imagination is different so where Miss Frugal might see a dolphin, Master Frugal might see a dinosaur. There’s no rules and no point scoring, just fun looking up and imagining.
We play it in the car, laid on the trampoline in the back garden, on the beach – everywhere!
I know it’s probably a game you’ve played yourself as you were growing up and you’ve more than likely already played it with your own children at some point but I mentioned it the other day at work (actually I pointed out a cloud that looked like a unicorn) and everyone looked at me like I was mad! I explained the cloud game and they’d never played it so I thought I’d share it on her just in case.
Go look out of your window right now and tell me what you can see 😉
I've never played this, but my children and I have a bear hunt game that we've made up. It's a bit like 'I Spy' and it's funny to hear the things they come up with sometimes.
I loved doing this as a child…havent tried it with the girls yet! Should do
oh Wilf and I love to play this too, I love it! x
We love the cloud game too, such a simple one. You can even use rocks to find shapes – we found a brillaint lion on holiday!
Not a lot… grey sky, that's all.
I love cloud game when weather allows us to play.
I LOVE the cloud game! A great free game that never gets boring!
It is a good one isn't it – reminds me of endless days when the schools were off for summer.
This brought memories we used to play this game too, try and find shapes in the sky by looking at the cloud formation.
I love doing this. Never gets old. x
We love this game too. My kids are great at spotting things especially!
I have never played this, but it sound like a fun game xx
We've never played this game. At the moment there is complete cloud cover so I guess that's a blanket!
What a great game, one I will remember when the Mister and I are in the car ha x
we love playing this too! We played yesterday as we drove to Bangor 🙂
