There's something special about having your own flashlight as a kid. I think it's because of the imagination that a flashlight is more than just a flashlight. It can become a laser beam or a light saber. My kids love having their own to use and so do I.
There's lots of fun things you can do with flashlights, but one of the best is flashlight tag.
Here's our version. We simply play hide and seek in the dark with the lights off. Those who are seeking have flashlights and try to find the hiders by shining their lights where they are hiding. When they "tag" them with the light, they have found them. Then those who were seeking hide, and those who were hiding seek. We usually play in pairs or groups because my kids are nervous about hiding and seeking in the dark.
Anyone got more flashlight ideas or games?
My kids like to hide in a kitchen cabinet (lower cabinet) at their grandparent's house and they take their flashlights in for light. Also, we have small play tents that we set up for indoor camping, and a flashlight is a must have along with some snacks and a movie or story.
