Quiet Games for Children

Sometimes you need children to be quietly occupied — in a restaurant, on a long journey, during quiet time at home, or when you just need five minutes of calm. Quiet games are the answer.

The best quiet games for children are absorbing enough to hold their attention, simple enough to do independently and calm enough not to wind them up. Quacky & Rex activities tick all three boxes.

Best quiet games for children

  • Colouring pages — the ultimate quiet activity. Print a Quacky & Rex page and hand over the crayons.
  • Mazes — absorbing and independent. Children can work through them quietly without needing help.
  • Dot-to-dot — focused and satisfying. Great for children who need something to concentrate on.
  • Word searches — quiet, independent and genuinely educational.
  • Online digital colouring — for when you need a screen activity that’s actually calm and creative.
