Put a Finger Down Questions for Kids

My family loves to play games with each other. Sometimes things get a little competitive around here when we play games like Adjective Charades or Scattergories for Kids. When that happens, I love to pull out games like our Would You Rather? Food Edition. The goal is to get the kids talking to each other and enjoying the discussion not fighting with one another, right?!

We’ve recently started playing Put a Finger Down and my kids are obsessed! They love seeing what their siblings have (or haven’t!) done. It’s always fun when they are surprised by my husband or my answers. Sometimes they forget we were kids once too!

I love when my kids play together, especially when no electronics are involved. As my kids get older and their schedules are far busier, and I find these family moments more precious. My momma heart is full when we can all get together and share a fun activity! 

Benefits of Family Games

Spending time together as a family is essential to a child’s development. They learn how to interact with others, make mistakes in a safe space, and support other members of their family (even ones that make them mad sometimes!). 

Playing games with your family encompasses all of those benefits and more! Here are some additional benefits:

  • Players develop critical thinking skills.
  • Kids learn good sportsmanship; It doesn’t matter if they win or lose; they can be happy for their family member who won!
  • Playing as teams teaches players how to support others and practice teamwork.
  • If someone makes a mistake, they can grow from the experience in a loving environment.
  • Memories are made that will last into adulthood. 
  • Kids get to see their parents as more than their role as leaders of the family. They see that they are fun people too!
  • Parents get to enjoy the people that their children are becoming.
  • Conversations happen when families spend time together. Games are the perfect environment to invite kids to open up about what’s going on in their lives. 

What is Put a Finger Down?

Put a finger down is a super popular game that people are playing in homes and on the internet. It is similar to Never Have I Ever, but is a little bit different. 

Players will start with a certain number of fingers in the air, typically 10, then each time a statement or question applies to them they put a finger down. 

For example put a finger down if you have ever picked your nose. Anyone who has picked their nose puts one finger down. 

The game is played until someone has no fingers still in the air. 

It is a fun game that is perfect to play with friends and family to get to know each other better.

How to Play Put a Finger Down Questions for Kids

The great thing about Put a Finger Down games is that all you need is a list of questions and your hands, and you’re good to go! You can play Put a Finger Down games with groups of any size. Just download the printable list below and get ready for some fun!

Once your group is ready to play, choose someone to read a question from the list. If they can’t answer the question with a “yes,” they put one of their fingers down. 

The game continues until one of the players has all of their fingers down. Whoever has the most fingers still up, wins! You can play with one hand or two. Sometimes my kids like to be silly and include their toes, too!
