Bluey Brain Break: Fun & Active Games for Kids

Looking for a fun and engaging way to get kids moving and energized? Look no further than Bluey Brain Break! This popular children’s show is packed with imaginative games and activities that are perfect for a quick break from learning or a fun afternoon of play.

Here are a few of our favorite Bluey Brain Break games:

1. Keepy Uppy

This game is simple but addictive. All you need is a ball (or anything that can be thrown and caught) and a few friends. The goal of the game is to keep the ball in the air for as long as possible, using your feet, head, and hands. You can make it even more challenging by adding in rules like “no hands” or “only one bounce”.

2. Magic Claw

This game is perfect for practicing coordination and teamwork. One person is the “magic claw” and the other person is the “treasure”. The magic claw has to try to grab the treasure without letting go of the ground. The treasure can move around to avoid getting caught, but they can’t leave the designated area. This game can be played with two or more people, and it’s a great way to get kids laughing.

3. Grannies

This game is a classic for a reason! It’s fun, silly, and easy to learn. All you need is a few people and a little bit of space. One person is the “granny” and the other people are the “grandchildren”. The granny tries to tag the grandchildren, but they can avoid getting tagged by pretending to be a granny. This means they have to walk slowly and hunch over. If the granny tags a grandchild, they become the new granny. This game is a great way to get kids moving and thinking on their feet.

4. The Claw

This game is a great way to practice hand-eye coordination and teamwork. One person is the “claw” and the other people are the “objects”. The claw has to try to grab the objects without letting go of the ground. The objects can move around to avoid getting caught, but they can’t leave the designated area. This game can be played with two or more people, and it’s a great way to get kids laughing.

5. The Sleepy Dragon

This game is a fun way to practice listening skills and following directions. One person is the “sleepy dragon” and the other people are the “adventurers”. The sleepy dragon is asleep in a cave (or a designated area). The adventurers have to try to sneak past the dragon without waking it up. If the dragon wakes up, it chases the adventurers back to their starting point. This game can be played with two or more people, and it’s a great way to get kids thinking about how to move quietly.
