Hey! I love this! Whiles it's not exactly the point of the post I will add some games that are consistent hits in my house. Also, if we need a distraction or direction we add an additional constraint.
For instance if we need to eventually get in the car, freeze tag has "safe zones" In and around the car.
Store:
My son is the storekeeper. A bunch of goofy patrons come in with silly requests. Odd customers are fun.
Waitor:
Same game as above but our son is a waitor. We ask him for various household items and he gets them.
Fashion show:
this is more physical, but I am a runway model and my son is my various items of clothing. Hats, shoes, necklace. Sometimes he is a silly hat or a gassy shoe.
Power outage:
This might be our son working through a little t trauma, but he loves to pretend the power to the house went out and we get a flashlight and try to go about our chores. But it's hard because it's so dark, and sometimes we are just trip over things.
Library:
Our son is a librarian but we have a hard time with directions like using our inside voices and checking in books. Occasionally we will luck out and he will read us a book which is adorable.
Magic pillow:
ehh this one is physical too but basically my son sits on a pillow, does a rocket ship count down, and flies to space. It's a bumpy ride. We lay out a lot of cushions or play on a bed so I can toss him around a bit.
Snake hunt:
We make a little play dough snake and hunt snakes in the house with a flashlight. They show up everywhere and we need to capture them but the catch is that I hate snakes and end up bobbling them and they get away
