There are many playground games that could be adapted for play at home.
'40/40 Save All' is a good one.
Pick a suitable 'home'. Assign someone as 'It'. Everyone finds a suitable hiding position.
A suitable position is one where 'Home' and 'It' can be seen by the player. The aim is to not be found by 'It' but also to return home while 'It' is away from 'Home' searching for other players. ie. if Home is a tree, a suitable hiding spot could be simply on the other side of the tree.
'It' has to look for players and call out '40/40 I see John on the stairs' when players are spotted. 'It' also has to protect 'Home' and not let any players reach home while they are away - the consequence being another turn at being 'it'.
I played this recently with my little ones...an adapted version of course. I was 'It' and allowed my preschooler to reach 'Home', while I pretended to look for her. When she was 'It', I hid in places where it was easy for her to find me, or when I saw she was looking elsewhere, I would attempt to run 'home' but letting her reach home before I did. Lots of fun.
