Inside: Our Favorite Free Printable Games for Kids.
We love playing games at my house and have found some of the best games out there. But every once in a while I want to switch things up without running to the store (or browsing Amazon!) for a new game for my kids to play.
Sometimes it is creating a crazy obstacle course at home, or setting up these minute to win it balloon games for kids… other times I just dust off the printer to create the fun!
I started looking online for some fun printable games for kids that I could get right from home, and I found some that look like a TON of fun.
Here are our favorite free printable games for kids that you can print right at home – most of them only require a printer and some paper.

How to Play
One person chooses a card and holds it up against their forehead, or props it up in front of them, without looking at it.
They have to ask yes or no questions and try to find out what they are.
The rest of the family answer the questions until they are finally able to guess who or what they are.

- Printable Bingo Games – One of my go-to games for classroom parties, birthday celebrations, or Sunday school activities are bingo games. They are fun for literally every age, from you oldest of game players to the youngest of fun-seekers anyone can play. What I love about these bingo games, in particular, is the fact that you can print them off before any get-together. These printable bingo game ideas range from holiday ideas, everyday party themes, and of course we had to throw in a few fun free options as well.
- Recovery Game Printables – Whether you or someone you know is on the road to recovery or drugs, alcohol, abuse, or anger, you are never alone. We feel like one of the most important ways to help any recovery is having a great support system of people to help you through the journey.
- Printable Games for Women’s Ministry – One of my favorite days of the week is when I get together with my Women’s Ministry group and we dive into a fun study. These women have been a part of my life for a long time and we also have such a great time together. One of our favorite ways to start out each bible study is by playing a fun game. It can be an ice breaker, card game, or one of our favorite printable games.
