How to keep a kid entertained when seated without electronics

Alternative: make your own Wordle

Get your kids to make 3 wishes

2 Players. Each player points their index finger on each hand. The first player hits one of the hands of the other and that other player has to add the number of fingers they were struck by until they are showing 5 (or more) fingers on a hand and that hand is eliminated. You can use your turn to redistribute fingers amongst your hands (e.g. 3 fingers on the left hand can become 2 fingers on the left and 1 on the right).

Small books full of these can be found in convenience stores, drug stores and airports.

Pocket travel versions of these games exist.

Have the child fill in blanks and decide where the story will go.
