Silly & High-Energy Games
Okay, so sometimes you just need the kids to, you know, do something with all that energy before they bounce off the walls. These are the games that are loud, a little chaotic, and honestly … kind of hilarious. Four-year-olds are obsessed, honestly, and I secretly love playing too.
The Games
1. Pop the Pig
Oh man, this one is a classic. You feed the pig these little burgers until — BAM — his belly pops. The anticipation gets the kids every time, and the giggles when he finally bursts? Totally worth it.
2. Beware of the Bear
Picture this: there’s a big plastic bear just snoozing away in his cave, and your kid’s job is to sneak snacks from his picnic basket without waking him up. Sounds simple, right? Well, the second that bear pops up—usually when you’re leaning in all confident—it scares the daylights out of everyone, and then we’re all in stitches.
3. Monkey Around (by Peaceable Kingdom)
This one’s less about competition and more about wiggling, balancing, and acting goofy. You pick a card, and it tells you to do something like “hug a friend” or “balance the banana on your head.” It’s sweet, silly, and actually kinda heartwarming.
