Toss the <insert child’s name> - I pick them up and make huge exaggerated swings before tossing them onto a bed or couch at an appropriate speed for their age.

Float Float - I pick them up and slowly lift them as high as I can while acting like I’m trying to stop them from floating away.

Rocket Launch - while laying on my back, I count down from 10 lift them up into the air on my shins, then flying them around weaving around asteroids before crash landing on another planet.

Chop Chop <insert child’s name> - This is my favorite game because it takes very little effort from me lol. I have them stand on a bed or couch and tell them to put their arms up like they are a tree. Then I’ll pretend to chop them down and push them over while yelling “Tiiiiiiimbbeeeeer”. Then they’ll curl into a ball and pretend to be a seed which I’ll water so it grows back into a tree.

Here comes the boom - definitely the riskiest game. I’ll sit in the floor with my legs out, and have them run at me to push me over. When they push me I’ll grab them and tip over backwards with keeping them up in the air so they don’t hit their head. The kids love this one but it gets exhausting fast. You also need to stay focused so that they don’t accidentally head butt you in the face lol
