Planning a kid's party can be a bit of a rabbit-out-of-a-hat affair. Everyone wants fun, excitement, and entertainment. And it is up to you to create all that! Be it a birthday bash, a playdate, or just a special celebration, the game for a memorable event is something that will entertain the kids, ignite their imagination, and help them burn off all that extra energy.
If you're looking for party games that don't fall into the usual category, we have some fantastic ideas for you. These five creative and easy-to-set-up games are guaranteed to make your child's party the talk of the town!
What You'll Need: Balloons, tape, a few chairs, and some open space.
How to Play: Create an obstacle course using whatever furniture, toys, and stuff you have readily available. You will then put balloons at assorted points throughout this course. They need to find their way across the obstacle course, popping as many balloons as possible in the way.
To make it even more difficult, you can set a rule where they only use their elbows or knees to pop the balloons! This game involves physical exercise, and excitement, and keeps people on their toes.
Why It's Great: This game, with running around, problem-solving, and popping balloons, makes for a fun-filled, high-energy game that's great for all ages. This one is one of the best party games for kids.
What You’ll Need: Craft supplies (markers, scissors, glue, paper, etc.), two large tables or spaces, and a timer.
How to Play: This game adds a creative twist to the classic relay race. Set up two "craft stations" and divide the kids into two teams. Each station should have all the supplies needed to make a simple craft (e.g., a paper hat, a friendship bracelet, or a paper crown). The kids have to run to the craft table, do one small part of the craft (like coloring or gluing), and then run back to tag the next teammate. The first team to finish their entire craft project wins!
Why It's Great: This game encourages teamwork, fosters creativity, and gives the kids something they can take home as a souvenir from the party!
What You’ll Need: Small treasures or treats, small bags or containers, and a few clues (written or verbal).
How to Play: Prepare a chain of clues that will take the kids around the party venue-house, backyard, or even in a park. Each clue is a lead for the next treasure. To add a little bit of excitement to the game, you can place puzzles, riddles, or challenges that have to be solved before they advance to the next clue. This will lead them to a final clue that would lead them to a "treasure chest" filled with party favours or candies!
For added excitement, give it a theme, such as a pirate hunt for treasure, a secret agent mission, or a jungle adventure.
Why It's Awesome: A treasure hunt is a fun mystery that the kids will get to enjoy discovering clues and racing to find the ultimate prize.
What You'll Need: Balloons, pump, and a timer.
How to Play: Give the children balloons and have them try to make balloon art. They can make their own balloon animals, hats, or any other wacky shape they can think of. Set a timer for 5-10 minutes and challenge them to create the most elaborate balloon design. If you want to make it a little more competitive, challenge them to create a specific item, such as a dog or a flower.
If you have some extra time or want to let them go with it, consider hiring or finding an adult who can demonstrate the twisting of balloons into all shapes and forms.
Why It's Awesome: This balloon art promotes creativity, and the development of fine motor skills, and introduces the interactive element of craft in partying.
You will need the following items for this activity:
Music, speaker, and an area to dance.
How to Play: This is one of the oldest games, and it is just so much fun. When music plays, people dance, sing, or do whatever to the beat. If the music stops, the people have to freeze in a "statue" pose. For creativity, you can give a theme to the statue, such as "wild animal," "superhero," or "silly monster." To make it challenging, you can also give points for the most creative or funny statue poses.
Well, if you have the energy high, every single time the song stops, use a new activity. For example, "hop on one foot" or do the robot dance, and by the time all of them catch up, their kids freeze like that.
Why It's Awesome: Playing musical statues is a fun, easy game that incorporates listening skill development and creativity, along with encouraging gross motor skills all at once. And the kids love the surprise of it, too!
With these five creative games, your kid's party is sure to be a hit! From active, high-energy activities like obstacle courses and treasure hunts to crafty, artistic fun like balloon art and DIY relay races, there's something for every type of child at your party. These games not only entertain but also foster imagination, teamwork, and friendly competition.
So, let's get the game on and have the kids fully engrossed in the joy of making memories to last a lifetime. Happy party planning!
