Children’s birthday parties are usually very exciting. Parents love to see the look on their children’s faces as they open presents, have fun trying new party foods, cut cake and spend time with friends. There are several different factors that make a great party. These include the decorations, the food and the guests, and obviously the games. Kids birthday party games can really add to the overall atmosphere of the birthday party. Here are some kids birthday party games that you can think about getting your kids and your guests to play.
Eat donuts from the clothesline. This may sound silly, that’s because it is. Tie long strings to the cinnamon donuts, then tie the strings to a clothesline or other overhead horizontal string to make sure the donuts hang in the air. Now tie the hands of the guests behind their backs. Your goal would be to be the first to eat the whole donut. This sounds easy, but it’s actually incredibly challenging with your hands tied behind your back. Kids will have a lot of fun playing this game, which is really a favorite among many popular kids birthday party games.
The dress up game. The dress up game is another fabulous birthday party game for kids that is constantly causing laughter. All the children will take turns rolling a die. When someone rolls a six, they must put on a series of goofy clothes, like a scarf, bow tie, and hat, and then try to cut a block of chocolate with a knife and fork. What they cut, they eat. They can keep cutting and eating until the next human gets a six. When that happens, they must remove their clothes and give them to the next lucky person.
The Giant’s Treasure. With this game, one of the birthday party games for older children, an individual is designated as the giant. They stand at one end of the room or in the backyard, their backs to everyone else. At his feet there is usually a box or bucket full of “treasures”. Everyone else has to try to sneak into the treasure while the giant’s back is turned. However, when the giant turns to face the others, anyone caught moving is sent with the game. The idea is usually to get to the treasure and win the prize without being caught moving by the giant.
Pin the tail on the donkey. This is an old but good. This game consists of posting a large image of the donkey or an additional animal. Participants are blindfolded and spun around. These are given a “tail” which they are supposed to loop around the donkey where a real tail should go. This game is usually silly and hilarious, and it’s fun to watch kids play it. You can also mix it up by applying images of things other than donkeys. For example, you could try putting a nose on a celebrity.
There are several kids birthday party games that you can play with your children and your guests. Still, try to make sure they are age-appropriate and cater to the specific guests at your party.
