Here’s a really fun game to play at your Chanukah party this year. It’s perfect for kids, but is just as much fun when adults are a part of the action, too!
Kids have such amazing imaginations, and this is a great way to let their creativity shine.
The beauty of this game is that you don’t need any special materials. There’s no need to run to the store, or order a bunch of supplies online. Everything can be found right in your own home! Score!

Once Upon A Time…
For Ages 3+
What you will need:
- 8-10 random kid-friendly objects (Can be toys, crafts supplies. Anything from around the house.)
- A bag to put it all in.
How to play:
Designate a “Toy Gatherer” to choose random toys from around the house to be placed into the bag. (This can also be a parent.)
Now designate a “Storyteller” to tell a story with all the items in the bag. For younger kids there is no time limit. To make this game more challenging for older kids you can set a timer for 1 minute.
Repeat with as many people who want a turn.
Have fun and let their imagination take everyone on a fun adventure together!
