No need to serve dinner with a side of screentime. Swap the iPad for a double portion of good old fashioned fun.

Activities out the Wazoo

Bored on a roadtrip? Restless waiting on dinner? Struck with the sudden urge to prank a friend? We've got you covered.

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.

Choose an Activity

Peek into our treasure chest of ideas and find one that screams, "Pick me!" From a quick brain-bending card game to an epic balloon ball challenge, we've got something for everyone.

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 voila! 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.

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.
