Make More Memories

It takes less than five minutes to set a personal best at juggling fruit, or to rouse a belly laugh. Don't miss an opportunity to make a memory.

Let's get down to monkey business

No rocket science here—just pure, unfiltered fun.

Follow the Instructions

Each activity has simple, easy-to-follow instructions, along with a list (if any) of props that might come in handy. Filter by age, interest, number of players or level of difficulty, and BOOM - you're off to the races.

Play, Save, Play it Again

At Monkeyshine, we're all about making memories. Snap a photo mid-challenge, or jot down a quote (Dad, post-somersault: "Did I just split my pants??"). We'll stamp it with a date and voilà! Memory saved.

What experts are saying

Kids who spend more than a few hours a day on social media face up to 2x the risk of anxiety and depression.

– Jonathan Haidt, The Anxious Generation

Studies show that play improves memory and stimulates the growth of the cerebral cortex.

Fun isn't frivolous. It's the secret to feeling alive.
