What are some free games that only involve mommy and need few or no props (ie I dont have to spend $$ to buy new games)

Love verbal games and games that involve physical touch bec its so not my nature and would love to be generous with my kids with physical touch

Anything to make them laugh!!
Bored of hide and seek and tag and duck duck goose

Shabbos friendly games a huge plus Smile

Kids hide under a blanket and you have to guess which kid, or which body part, you're feeling

Ha- ha - you lie on each other’s tummy 1st person says ha2nd person says hahaand so on,until you all end up laughing.

I don’t know what it’s called but someone makes a funny skit or acts silly and the first person to laugh is out.

There’s so many webuse to lay when we were little. Aaah the 70s, pre- internet and smart-phones time.

My daughters and made up a game we would play while cooking for Shabbat. One person says a word. And you had to makeup a song using that word

I know you said no cost games but if you're willing to spend a little, Alex Little Hands games are inexpensive and fun for toddlers.

I know it's been said before but Hot-and-cold is so underrated, preschool kids love it and can play it repeatedly!

As for the cost issue, check out some kid-inclusive thrift stores, you can score really great prices on games and it's nice to have just a few. It also gives kids good practice for when they will need to play games in school or with friends. And they generate different types of language than the (just as important, but different) no-prop games.
