My co-worker and I have been asked to handle the icebreakers & intro activities for my work's upcoming "bring your child to work day." We anticipate about 30 kids. Neither of us have children, nor are we "kid people".

We lead icebreakers all the time, but mostly for corporate teambuilding, problem-solving, etc. Our repetoire does not include activities for kids.

I've gotten some ideas from google, but I know LOTS of you out there have children and surely you've had to entertain them, right?

Any ideas on a few good icebraks for kids?

I'm going to guess we'll have about 30 - 45 kids, a huge room, and maybe about $1000 budget.

A hunt is fun for all ages; we just had a cousin's bday who turned 3 at a park and the kids from 1-20 had fun looking for stuff all over and loved they all got prizes when we returned

google scavenger hunt and you will find tons of ideas like this
