Waiting Games to Play

Easy games to play at the table, at a restaurant or even waiting in line.

1 or 2?
This is a game for two players. Place seven sugar packets in a row. Player 1 may take away one or two sugar packets. Player 2 may also take away one or two packets. Continue to take turns in this manner. The one who is left with the last sugar packet loses. The loser gets to go first in the next round.
 Fortunately/Unfortunately
One player starts a story with a sentence such as "Fortunately, the bus is coming." The next player counters with a sentence such as, "Unfortunately, it turned into an airplane and flew away!" The next player starts again with "Fortunately..."
 I Spy
One person picks something in or out of the restaurant and others at the table have to guess what that item is by asking “yes or no” questions. They can ask questions like: Is something to eat? Is it furniture? Is it outside? Is it blue? Is it at our table? The game ends when someone guesses or gives up.
 Alphabet Game
Pick a topic such as superheroes, actors, foods or animals and take in turns coming up with an answer for each letter of the alphabet. If you get stuck, the next person can jump in. For example: Fruit A – Apple, B – Banana, C – Cherry etc. You go around taking turns, or if you have older kids who are competitive, keep track of how many answers each person gets and declare a winner at the end of each round.
 Imaginary Traveler
Take turns continuing with consecutive letters of the alphabet, kids imagine where they might go and what object they want to take along on their trip. For example, "I'm going to Aunt Amanda's and I'm taking my Anteater." "I'm going to the Bahamas and I'm taking my Blue Balloon." Encourage participants to be as silly as possible.
 Tell a Story
One child begins a story with a single sentence. Building upon that sentence the next child continues the story with his own sentence to continue the story. You can vary this game so that the story is told with alternating words, phrases, sentences or paragraphs.
 I See a… Rhyme Game
Take turns completing the sentence "I see a ____." Each player must rhyme the last word with the previous player's word. For example, "I see a bat", "No, I see a hat", "But I see a cat!" When you've exhausted one rhyme, start with a new word!
 Name Five Categories
Choose a category such as countries, flowers, animals and going through the alphabet, each player must name five things in that category. For example, if animals is the category, the first player may say aardvark, antelope, ant, anteater, ape. The next player starts with B: baboon, bee, bear, bullfrog, bird.
