Some ideas others have used include:
- Pinatas: these come in all sorts of
characters to match a birthday theme.
- Hot Potato: throwing a small toy that
matches your theme works well, the one that has it
when the music stops is disqualified.
- Scavenger Hunt: use themed items to
find such as items like super hero toy to find, mask,
cape, toy building etc.
It's Party Time!
Here are some great activities to help get your party
rolling!
Our Party Game
Ideas:
1) Water Balloon Toss:
This game requires groups of two, each
team will throw the balloon back and forth and the
last ones to drop their balloon wins. For each
throw, each team member will take two steps back, the
further you get away, the harder it is to catch.
2) Egg Roll:
With a start and finish line, each
child gets down on their knees and pushes the hard
boiled egg to the finish line with their nose, the
first one there wins.
3) Spoon & Egg Activity:
Each child gets a large spoon with a
raw egg, there is a start and finish line as well.
The first child to the finish line wins. If the
child drops the egg and it doesn't break, they can
pick it up and put it back on the spoon, once the egg
is broken, they are no longer able to play.
4) Marshmallow Spooning:
Get two large mixing bowls and fill one
to the middle with marshmallows or cotton balls
(marshmallows are better so kids can eat after).
Take a large spoon and blindfold the child, make sure
they can't see as most will cheat. They will
then spoon the marshmallows from one bowl to the
other, at the end you can count how many put in the
bowl. 30 seconds or 1 min timer.
5) 3 Legged Race:
Tie the knee and shoe lace of the two
man team and the first ones from the start to the
finish line will be the winners. Large sacks are
also used if available.
6) Balloon Pop:
First child to sit on the balloon and
pop it wins.
7) Pin The Tail On The Donkey:
Find someone who draws well & have them
make a donkey on a large poster board with small
poster board made tails. The child closest to
the original tail on the design wins. Each child
will be blind folded and twirled around 3 times and
aimed toward the board. Many families choose to
make the birthday kid face the wrong way for extra
fun.
8) Pin The Nose On The Clown:
Same directions as Pin The Tail On The
Donkey, but with this game a nose is used.
9) Girl Makeup Game:
Put eye shadow, lipstick and blush on
your friends while blindfolded. The best looking
one wins, this will be judged by an adult. Many
groups do this for fun and every child gets free lip
gloss etc.
