A guessing game that makes a super fun birthday party game. This game can be easily changed for older kids. Last but not least, the favorite game of Simon Says that can be played anywhere at anytime without anything to buy. Put a twist on this popular birthday party game by changing the name "Simon" to something to fit your theme.
A cross between I Spy and Hide and Seek will keep kids of all ages into this birthday party game. You only need one object for this game and it can be one of your choosing. In this birthday party game, the guests will compete in relay races where they pile on the clothes and accessories. You can even customize all the clothes and accessories to fit whatever the theme of your birthday party is.
There are also lots of other variations for relay races you'll want to check out. A unique spin the classic game of tag that uses just one simple item you are sure to already have in your house - and guess what? It's not actually bacon. This game works with a just about any group of people, you'll just need to divide them up into teams.
This birthday party game is best played in the warmer weather and needs to be outside. Pair up the guests and have them see how long they can go before they break the water-filled balloon.
A fun, classic birthday party game that's best played outside. You can use flags, bandanas, or just about any soft object. This is a great free birthday party game that's sometimes called Cross the Lava. How many of the guests can make it to the end point without falling in the river?
Pair some fun music with an assortment of chairs, and you've got yourself and easy birthday party game that's always full of fun. Set up chairs or cushions in a circle but have one less than the number of people playing.
When the music stops, anyone without a seat is eliminated and one chair is removed. Last one in the last chair wins! This birthday party game could get messy quickly, but that makes it all the more fun! Have all the guests put one hand behind their back and use the other hand to hold a spoon with an egg in it. Have them run to the finish line just like that.
The first one who makes it with the egg still intact and their arm behind their back, wins. If the egg falls halfway through, they have to start over from the beginning. Much like charades but through writing, this free birthday party game involves guessing what your partner is describing.
Have the pair sit back to back. One partner has an object that they have to describe to their partner who draws out what he or she thinks the partner is holding. The team that finishes with the quickest time wins. The only catch is that the one holding the object cannot say its name or explain what the object is used for. This is a perfect birthday party game for a large crowd, and multiple people can get prizes along the way. The basic idea is to wrap several presents in plastic wrap and pass the ball around the table.
Each person can have a try at unwrapping an object from the ball until the next person rolls doubles on their dice. This is one of the easiest birthday party games to start because it just requires the participants—no props or money involved. However, it gets hard quickly. To play this game, instruct the guests to do something, but they have to do the opposite in order to stay in the game. For example, if you say raise your right hand, they have to raise their left hand; if you say to jump, they need to squat.
You can even combine this game with a Simon Says type of game by having them watch you act something out but they have to do the opposite. They'll say, "Mail Call for everyone…" and pick a descriptor, such as "wearing red" or "has a cat. Everyone that descriptor applies to must get up and find a new seat, without retaking their initial seat or moving to the seats next to them.
The person in the middle will also be racing for a chair; whoever is left standing at the end stands in the circle next, and the game continues.
Find a deck of cards and a set of spoons. Pieces of candy also work. Have enough for each player, minus one. Deal four cards to each person playing. One person, the dealer, will keep the remaining deck next to them and draw one card at a time. They will look at the card and trade it out for a card in their hand or pass it along to the person next to them, who will do the same thing.
The goal is to collect four of the same card; when that happens, reach for a spoon. When someone spots a spoon missing, they, too, can grab one; whoever is left without a prize at the end is out. Remove one more spoon and play again. Alternatively, play by sticking out your tongue when you've collected four of a kind: If others notice, they can stick out their tongues, too; whoever notices last loses.
Pick a phone to pass around the group. Set it to self-timer mode—10 seconds is best—and use regular photo mode, not selfie mode.
Pass the phone around, with each person holding the phone up for a moment, posing for the camera. Pass until the photo is taken, then repeat.
At the end, take a look at the probably undignified photos. This is a trickier take on I'm Hosting a Party. Sit in a circle and designate yourself the host. Just don't tell everyone the name of the game. Say you are hosting a party, but only people bringing the right items will be invited. Go around the circle and have everyone suggest contributions; the host will say who is invited and who isn't.
Instead of basing the invite on what they're bringing, though, base it on their posture: Whoever has their legs crossed can come, and whoever doesn't can't, for example. Continue until everyone figures it out.
Say you're describing your perfect world: "In my perfect world, there are doors but no windows. Your perfect world has only double letter items: Schools but not universities, for example, or apples but not bananas. If someone gets it right, say, "Yes, that would be in my perfect world. Continue around the circle until everyone figures it out.
This tried-and-true party game can be as simple or as complicated as you make it. Have everyone write down concepts, movies, people, shows, and more to act out and divide into teams. One person will act out something drawn from the assortment while their team members guess what it is. When time is up, switch teams and repeat. Add time limits, scoring systems, silence rules, and more as desired. Pick one person to go first. That person will think of an item, animal, movie, public figure, etc.
Everyone else will ask yes or no questions about what or who they are; they have 20 chances to guess, or the other person wins. Whoever guesses correctly can win a prize, or be the next to answer questions. Have everyone sit or stand in a circle. Each person should select a hand motion or leg motion, if you're standing.
Go around the circle and have everyone present their motion: Memorize these. Have everyone begin clapping or stomping a steady rhythm and pick one person to start: They will do their motion, and then the motion of someone else in the circle. This next person will do their own motion, then the motion of a third person, who will do the same.
There are no passbacks and no hesitations. Whoever messes up first is out; continue indefinitely. Find a pad of paper and writing tools. Have everyone write an outrageous phrase on a slip of paper, and collect everything in a hat. If it's a mixed group, set propriety guidelines ahead of time; if it's adults only, go wild. Give one person the hat: They must draw a piece of paper and read the statement aloud to the group.
The goal is to keep a straight face: Whoever laughs or smiles loses. Pass the hat around until everything has been read. Have everyone sit around a table. Everyone will put their heads down; count down from three, and have everyone sit up and look at someone else in the circle. If you make eye contact with someone else, you're out. If the person you're looking at is looking at someone else, you're safe.
Repeat until everyone is out. Pick one person to be Mr. Have everyone playing the game move around the party as usual. When Mr. Freeze freezes, though, everyone else must freeze, too.
Whoever freezes last is out. Repeat for the duration of the party. The first one to stop and stand still each time wins a small prize and then moves to the side. Continue the game until everyone has won a little prize. Every toddler loves a parachute game!
All three games that I mention are great non-competitive games, which will foster a sense of inclusivity for even the most shy of toddlers. Pop a few items of treasure soft toys, wooden blocks or small prizes like gold chocolate coins into a box and put it in the centre under the parachute. Everyone — parents and kids — hold the edge of the parachute and make waves like the sea.
Everyone one takes hold of the edge of the parachute and lifts it up high. Call each child by their name and have them run, crawl or shuffle on their bottom under the parachute from one side to the other before the parachute comes down and tags them. Ask all the toddlers to take hold of the edge of the parachute with one hand, facing the same way as each other. Ask all the toddlers to sit on the floor at one end of the room and set a finish line at the other end of the room.
Make sure to cheer for every child crossing the line and then give out celebratory little gifts to everyone. Play some music, then when you stop the music, shout out an animal. Everyone has to pretend to be that animal. You can give a small prize for the best animal, as long as everyone gets a prize by the end of the game!!
So, a great alternative for toddlers is to use a balloon or ball to pass round. This is a challenge game. Ask each child to try walking the plank without falling off. Everyone else can stand around the plank clapping in encouragement or pulling faces and making distractions, depending on the vibe of the party guests.
Every successful participant gets a small prize. This is a complete giggle-inducer and an absolute classic kids party game! Get the toddlers to line up at the other end of the room to the wolf. Mr Wolf calls out a time… e. The toddlers move forwards the number of steps that relate to the time. Then the game starts over. Sit all the toddlers in a circle on the floor.
There are two ways of running this game. Firstly, you can use an actual baking potato raw not cooked!! Or, you can buy an actual Hot Potato game that has a potato with a face.
Squeeze the potato to start the music and when the music stops, the person holding the potato wins a small prize and leaves the game. This is a great game to use to calm over-excited or tired children down before they have their party food or sing happy birthday and watch the birthday cake being cut. Ask all the toddlers to lie on the floor as still as they can possibly be. You can either give a small prize to every child who stays super still or a child is out if they move, at which point they can have a small prize for trying hard!!!
All this said, three, four and five year olds are capable of increasing amounts of cooperative play, so they are capable of enjoying a wider range of games than toddlers.
All these games work equally well for indoor parties at home, parties at a venue or summer outdoor parties. Get all the kids to sit in a circle. If not, then the original child goes again. Check out this video to see a game of Duck Duck Goose in action. The kids dance to fun music. When the music stops everyone has to sit down as quickly as possible. The last child to sit down each time is given a small prize stickers or a single sweet work well and then the game continues, until there is either one winner left, or a handful of winners, depending on how many kids are playing remember, attention spans are short!!
The winner or winners each receive a small gift and a round of applause. Any kids that get it wrong get given a sticker or small prize and are asked to watch from the sidelines. Continue until you have either a single winner or a handful of winners. Kids aged three to five are just about at an age where the classic party game of Pass The Parcel works. The key to a successful game with preschoolers is to adapt the game to the number of children playing and to have a small prize within each layer.
This is a great game for getting a couple of parents involved in the activities. Play some fun music and shout encouragement. Pop some little sweets into balloons before blowing them up and tying them. Free the balloons and challenge the kids to pop them all to find the hidden treasure inside. I did a version of this game for a pirate themed party using black balloons and filling them with gold chocolate coins as treasure.
Watch this video for a run-through of how to play Mother May I? Set up a line of chairs back to back with enough chairs for every child. Play some music as the children dance and move around the chairs. When the music stops each child must sit down on a chair.
