Birthday Party Games for Kids

It takes more than balloons, streamers and matching plates to create a birthday party your child will never forget!Often, what makes a kids birthday party a huge hit is a simply prepared game or activity. We've collected our favorite party games and traditional party games that can be played as-is or adapted to match your party theme. If this is your first kids birthday party and you are bit intimidated, don't worry. We also have tips and advice from our party professionals.

What games are right for my party?
First you'll need to select a party theme. Then ask your child what they would like to play at their party. You can purchase pre- prepared party games or adapt a traditional party game so that it works with your theme. For instance... "Duck, Duck, Goose can be changed to "Princess, Princess, Knight" or Spiderman, Spiderman, Green Goblin" etc. With some artistic skills, markers and poster board, Pin the Tail on the Donkey can be turned into "Pin the Crown on the Princess".

Next, you need to consider your party space and whether you'll need to play indoors. We recommend that you select games that can be played indoors and outdoors or have a few easy games planned in case there is
a weather change.

Tips for
Birthday Party Games


Select Appropriate Games
Some games will be a hit and others will be a "dud". When appropriate, ask your child to participate in the party game planning. If they think it's a fun game...their friends probably will too. Consider your party space and the age group of the children.

Be Flexible
If you sense that a party game is not going well, let it go and move on to the next activity. Or, make a quick adaptation to an existing game. If your party games are dependant on the weather...be prepared to take the party indoors if necessary.

Be Prepared
Have all games set up and ready to go before the party. Make sure you understand how the games is played.

Everyone is a Winner
Parties are a time to have fun, which means all guests should go home smiling. If you are going to provide prizes, try to reward all players just for participating or avoid prizes all together. Especially when entertaining very young children who have yet to develop a grasp on sportsmanship. Consider playing most, if not all games without prizes but everyone gets a candy or sticker. When all of the games are complete...everyone receives their goody bags.
