Have each child cross the bubble wrap barefoot. The object is to get all the way across without popping any of the bubbles. If you want to make it more competitive, line up three sections and have teams race across to the other side. The team who crosses without making a peep or making the least pops wins! This game is best for kids ages 3 and up. This one is simple enough for the younger guests and delicious enough for everyone else.
Tie a rope to something sturdy, such as thick tree branches. Use ribbons to attach each doughnut to the rope so that the doughnut hangs freely and is at a good length for the party guests.
On the count of three, each player must try to eat their entire doughnut without it falling to the ground. The big challenge: No hands allowed! The first person to finish their doughnut without it falling wins.
There is really no need for prizes here because the doughnuts will be the yummiest prize of all. Play some upbeat music and let the kids dance like crazy. When the music is paused, each child must freeze like a statue. This one is lots of fun for younger kids but tougher for those under 4 years old. Anyone younger than 4 can be encouraged to dance along in a separate area just for fun.
Make sure to give out small prizes, like stickers, as players are eliminated so that everyone walks away happy.
This is one for your youngest guests and is perfect for toddlers and young preschool-aged kids. An adult will blow bubbles or you could opt for a faster bubble machine and the players race around to pop as many bubbles as they can. Hand out small prizes at the end to all your little bubble players. Kids will stay happily occupied with this obstacle course bike race, which includes a bike decorating contest and award ceremony. Have some extras on hand for those who forget.
This game can also be made into a relay race. The race can take place in a park, vacant lot, cul-de-sac or driveway. Have kids decorate bikes with streamers, pennants and noisemakers made from playing cards placed between the spokes.
You can find traffic cones at any major home improvement store and plastic skateboard ramps at local supercenters. You can also have a water spray at the end of the race course during summertime parties. At the end of the race, hand out prizes like plastic trophies, water bottles and bike accessories, such as spokesters, horns and pennants. Riggs says this is one of her favorite games. Write challenges on paper and insert them into balloons before inflating. Have enough balloons to continue the game for as long as you decide.
Challenges can be anything from trivia questions to physical tests, like trying to lick your elbow or sing a song with a mouthful of crackers. Younger players will need a little assistance in reading the challenges. Incorporate this game into an October birthday for a Halloween-themed party, along with bobbing for apples. Divide kids into small groups and have them pick someone to be the mummy or have an adult be the mummy.
Pass out rolls of toilet paper to each group and whoever wraps up their mummy using all the toilet paper the quickest wins. For non-October birthdays, this can be adapted to be a fashion show contest, with players wrapping their teammate up in their own design and having those players walk the runway at the end.
The difference between a treasure hunt and a scavenger h unt is simple. In a treasure hunt, you would sketch out a simple map and give kids pictures of the treasures to be found along the route.
Along with each clue they find, there will be a small reward. For a scavenger hunt, you would give the children a list of specific items to find in a defined area. The child or team that finds all of the items first, wins. They use chopsticks to build up their snowman. Younger kids can use oversized marshmallows and older players can use mini-marshmallows.
If you have a mixed age group use the regular size marshmallows. Tip: For players that have a hard time using chopsticks, we use cheater chopsticks for our kids.
What You Need — 42 red solo cups. Kids have one minute to unstack the cups and create a pyramid then restack the cups back into each other. Use the timer on your phone for this and write down the time they finish. At the end look at the times to find a winner. Just add more cups if you want to have more than two kids compete at a time.
What You Need -5 Solo cups and 10 ping pong balls per player, masking tape. This is a Minute to Win it Game for Tweens so try this with older 4th or 5th graders. Each player or a team of two players together is given 10 ping pong balls. When the timer starts players need to roll their ping pong balls and try to get all their balls to land in a cup in 1 minute.
If you roll all your ping pong balls and still have time on the clock players can pick up balls that fell on the ground and keep going. What You Need — box of plastic spoons, 24 ping pong balls, 8 small paper bowls —. This game is for four kids at a time. Give each a spoon and two bowls. In one bowl add six ping pong balls. Kids have one minute to try to transfer the ping pong balls to the other bowl using only the spoon in their mouth.
They may not use their hands. For Winter Parties pretend the ping pong balls are snowballs. What You Need — box of straws, and items to race, blue painters tape. This game can be customized by the time of year the party happens. For Halloween get some spider rings cut off the ring part and you have a spider to race. On the other side of the table have two kids line up with a straw and they have one minute to race their spider to the finish line by blowing on the straw.
TIP: If you want to stay socially distanced have each child at a different table with two people watching to see when they cross the line with their spider.
