These fun Dr. Seuss games are perfect for celebrating Dr. Seuss week with a classroom full of kids, playing with your own kids at home, or just having a week full of reading fun! There’s everything from a cat in the hat stacking game to Dr Seuss bingo!

If I had to pick a favorite children’s book author it would be Dr. Seuss hands down. I mean, it’s no secret after I’ve shared all of these scavenger hunt ideas that I like to rhyme.

And even more than I like to rhyme – I like to read books that rhyme. There’s just something fun and whimsical about it that makes it even more fun to read! That’s say a lot from someone who already loves to read. There’s a reason they always make it into cart any time I’m looking for baby shower books!

We even did a Dr Seuss themed youth camp one year and let me tell you, I had a blast putting together these Dr Seuss themed handouts!

With Read Across America Day coming up next week on March 2nd to celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birthday, I thought it would be fun to put together a list of the best Dr. Seuss themed games for the classroom since I know so many teachers are doing Dr. Seuss activities with their kids!

And after planning plenty of my own classroom parties for the holidays, I know hard it can be to come up with fun activities that work with students!

These games are perfect for playing in the classroom or at home or at camp or whenever you just need some fun Dr. Seuss games to keep kids entertained! Playing games inspired by books is one of my favorite ways to make reading fun!

Dr. Seuss Games

Since you all know I love my party games, I had to put together a list of Dr. Seuss games to play! These are some of my favorites from other bloggers as well as one of my son’s all-time favorite Dr. Seuss inspired board games!

A Yertle the Turtle stacking game for Dr. Seuss Day
Yertle the Turtle Stacking Game
This is one of our favorite Dr Seuss activities and a great way for kids to work on balancing while still having so much fun! Kids always have a great time seeing how tall they can stack yertle and even just making the cute yertle turtles could be a great activity for a Dr. Seuss theme craft!
Check it out!
Christmas punch game that looks like a Christmas tree
Grinch Grab Game
Just because Grinch is typically a Christmas book doesn't mean kids will enjoy this game any less during your Read Across America event! Say happy birthday to Dr Seuss with this fun Grinch themed game where kids have to punch out cups to find silly challenges and prizes!
Check it out!
If You Can Do It Game
This is one of our favorite board games for kids and for good reason. It's silly, fun, and great for getting a little energy out! If playing this in a classroom, it's probably best for a small group to play at one time, but it's so much fun!
Check it out!
Dr Seuss fishing booth and other Dr Seuss games
One Fish Two Fish Game
This fishing game inspired by one of my favorite books is a super popular game with the younger children because who doesn't loving fishing?? Younger students will have fun sending their fishing hook down to catch a prize like a red fish or blue fish! This would also be a great one for an elementary school carnival!
Check it out!
Grinch Book Exchange
Have everyone bring in their favorite Seuss book (or get a bunch from the library) and do this Grinch exchange where you pass books left and right when words are said in the book. At the end of the game, everyone reads the books that ends up in their hand! This game is a different way to switch up books and just something to keep kids engaged!
Check it out!
Dr Seuss Bingo
Kids of all ages from preschool to even middle school students love a good game of bingo and this version uses characters and images from all of Dr. Seuss' wonderful books instead of just numbers! This is a great addition to any Dr. Seuss birthday celebration!
Check it out!
Stacking cups and other Dr Seuss games
Cat in the Hat Stack
This fun cup stacking game is a great way to keep kids entertained for at least a few minutes! See who can stack their cat's hat the highest! This is another great activity that works for both younger students and older ones!
Check it out!
Green Eggs and ham flipping and other Dr Seuss games
Green Eggs and Ham Game
This game is extra fun because it incorporates Dr Seuss crafts with a Dr Seuss game! The mix of activities means this can take up a little more time and kids will love it! Just don't forget to take photos of your students as they try to catch their green eggs on the spatula!
Check it out!
Hop on Pop and other Dr Seuss Games
Hop on Pop Scotch
There's a reason Hop on Pop is one of Dr. Seuss' most popular books, and this game takes advantage of that! This one could be used with either sight words (for kindergarten students), numbers (to practice math skills), or regular words for older kids!
Check it out!
This stacking Lorax game is one of the best Dr Seuss games
Lorax Stacking Challenge
This STEAM challenge is a great game for Dr Seuss Day because it incorporates STEAM principles while also being a fun game for kids. Make it a minute to win it game for even more fun!
Check it out!
Dr Seuss Memory
This is a fun way to help kids remember their favorite Dr Seuss book as they try to find matches that pair characters and icons from books with their match! Playing memory is one of those kids activities that works for older students all the way down to preschool!
Check it out!
Dr Seuss scavenger hunt
Dr Seuss Scavenger Hunt
This fun activity is perfect for a large group to all do at the same time! Let kids walk around and find things that match everything on their list! Scavenger hunts are always a hit with kids, and this is a great one!
Check it out!
Dr Seuss Roll and Cover
This fun game works whether you're looking for games for a kindergarten class or a middle school class! Give each kid the free printable and two dice and see who can roll all of the numbers on their sheet the fastest!
Check it out!
Dr Seuss headband cards
Dr Seuss Headbands
This fun game comes with free printables of items and characters from Dr Seuss' children's books and will have kids (and the teacher) trying to figure out who they are from clues their teammates give them! We play this all the time at home and when we're in line waiting at Disney World!
Check it out!
Cut out paper foots with words on them
Opposite Foot Game
This foot book inspired game is a fun way to work on opposites while getting our kids' energy! This is probably best played in small groups and with young children who are still working on opposites, but it's still a really fun one! And it's one of the more creative ideas I've seen out there for celebrating the author Dr. Seuss!
Check it out!
