Maybe, but I used to do them to keep kids happy so I'm not entirely sure if it's a waste of time as such... but I just need to know whether they are permissible in general

Wa'alaikum salaam,

PLEASE keep your kids happy by reciting to them stories of sahaabah, stories of courage, valour and sacrifice, and let them do some sports. (suitable for their age, of course) there is a world of useful things like jogging, swimming, wrestling etc. etc. to keep kids happy.

PLEASE don't waste their precious time in absolutely useless things like card games, board games, fairy tales. Children's minds are very tender, and even "small" things can make a lasting and permanent impression on their minds, unless Allah ta'aala guides them to the straight path.

Why I am saying this is because my own childhood was wasted in all those time-wasters, not to forget "ghost stories" which can do a great deal of damage to one's aqeedah and imaan as well.

May Allah ta'aala grant you goodly offspring who would be a great bounty for you in the akhirat, ameen.
