Why spend a fortune on over priced and poorly manufactured kids party games when you can create your own. Make the classics such as pin the tail on the donkey, beanbag toss and musical chairs but with a party theme twist. For example for your little princess make a pin the slipper on Cinderella game.
For your little Ninja fan pin the Chinese fighting star on the ninja (in the palm of his hand, no violence). Need a beanbag toss idea easy? Take some theme inspired fabric and stuff with rice. Stitch closed and you have your beanbag. Make yourself a captain hook cut out with three holes one in his hook hand, one in his peg leg and one through his hat. Each hole is worth a specific point (1,2 or 3). You do the same thing for a girl's party. Simply pick a character and cut out some holes.
If you don't feel very crafty or creative you can purchase a poster that goes along with your theme and trace three holes then cut them out. If you are looking for something more unusual or unique you can search kid party games online.
An example of this is the shoebox race. You need two shoeboxes, two pairs of mittens, and a bag of mini tootsie rolls, two bowls and two bells. Hang the bells over two plies of tootsie rolls.
Divide the kids into two teams. Have two of the children put the shoeboxes on their feet and the mittens on their hands. Have the kids shuffle down to the bell and ring it with their noses. Then pick up a tootsie roll and shuffle back to the start line where they will drop the tootsie roll into the bucket. The team who gets the most tootsie rolls in their bucket wins. It's silly but fun and that's what kids birthday party games are all about.Labels: activities, birthday, fun, games, kids, parties, party
