Fill an empty soft drink bottle with water, grab a ball and there you have it! Whoever empties their opponent's bottle first wins the game. During a holiday with children in the Netherlands, this activity should definitely not be missed.

Tin Throwing

If you want to warm up the arm muscles a bit, you would do well to join a game of can throwing. This is one of the simplest Old Dutch games, but that certainly does not mean less fun. Pile up a number of cans that you can knock over with a small ball and see who manages to hit the most cans. Toss the most cans? Congratulations, then you can declare yourself the best player!

Chair Dance

The chair dance is a hit at every party, but in other occasions too, this game undoubtedly manages to put a smile on people's faces.

Shuffleboard

Centuries old but still a big hit among every gaming fanatic: shuffleboard! Although this game seems simple, it requires considerable precision and control. Throw the shuffleboard too hard? Then it will come back with the same speed. Slide the discs under the arch with the highest number of points and see who gets the most points at the end of the game. One of the most fun old Dutch games for indoors, but in nice weather, you can bring the shuffleboard outside just as easily. Have fun playing!
