Name That Bug :
Pair up your party guests in teams of 2-3 people and put a sticker or a picture of a bug on each child's back. Have the guests try to guess what the bug is by asking questions that can be answered with only "yes" or "no." For example, "Do I have legs?," "Can I fly?" and "Am I Green?" Note: You can use stickers of animals for variety. |

Tied in Knots Game:
Instruct your guests to stand in a circle facing inward. To begin, everyone extends his or her right-hand into the ring and takes a hold of someone else's hand. Then, they do the same with their left-hands. The object of the game is to see if they can untangle the "knot" by ducking under people, stepping over them or turning around. No matter what happens, they can't let go of hands!
Gift Unwrap Game:
Take: For Birthdays and Holidays
Number of players: about 10-30
Type: Can be a stunt, if the group is very large, or the entire party may play
Winner: The person who FINISHES unwrapping the present
How to play: A gift is placed in the center of the group. A basket with dice is passed around. When a person rolls double sixes, they run up to the gift, don the hat, scarf and gloves (goggles if you want too!) and begin unwrapping as fast as they can. (The more items they need to put on the less they'll be able to unwrap) The dice continue to be passed and as soon as someone else rolls double sixes, they take their turn at the present. Play continues until the present is completely unwrapped.
Items needed: Dice, Basket, Hat, Gloves, Scarf, one very well wrapped present. It helps to have several layers of wrapping paper and even boxes within boxes to keep make the game more challenging. |

The Star Game (night game):
For this game buy a bag of those glow in the dark stars(it's fun if the stars are all different sizes) Before the guests arrive, throw the stars all around the yard. Once it gets dark, see who can fin the most stars! Have the stars be the prize or give a party favor for the one who has the most starts. This can also be a fun game at family reunions.
Whistling Game:
Okay, noise group? This will keep them quite for a little bit. Have a group of children sit on the floor and give each child 5 or 6 saltine crackers. Object of game is for the kids to eat the crackers as fast as possible (with no water), and the first person to be able to whistle after eating the crackers win.

Gone Fishin :
You will need a helper for this children's activity. Tie a string across the room and lay a sheet over it so no one can see what is on the other side. Use an old fishing pole, or tie a string around a stick or broom handle. Tie a clothespin on the end of the fishing pole's string. Let each guest take a turn "casting" their line over the sheet. Have your helper stand on the other side and attach small gifts, favors, or treats to the clothespin. When they're done, the helper gives a slight tug on the line. When the kids "reel" in their lines, they'll be delighted to see what they've caught!
Pass The Box:
This is really fun, Take a small gift or toy that all kids would enjoy, then gift wrap it, but keep wrapping it with different layers of giftwrap. Play some music while passing the present around, when the music stops, the guest left holding it unwraps the first layer of wrapping paper, then the music starts again and the box is passed, then every time the music stops, another layer is removed until someone finally unwraps the very last layer,,,,, and that is the winner. It is kind of like Hot Potato, but this is an item that everyone wants to hold on to!
Upset the Fruit Basket - Musical Chairs variation:
It's a variation of musical chairs and works well with large groups 10 or more. Get a group of people to put their chairs in a ring. Just like musical chairs. Give each person is placed into a fruit group, for example you could have 4 apples, 4 oranges and 4 bananas (you can add more types of fruit if you have quite a few people). Each group of fruit should be 4 or 5 people is good, add more fruit names if needed. Then everyone sits in their chair and you call out apples and only the apples have to stand up and walk around the circle. While they are walking you remove one chair and at some point you call out apples again and all the apples scramble for a chair. The fruit left standing is out of the game. Then next you call out either a banana or orange. But if you say "upset the fruit basket" then everyone has to get up and walk around the circle. The winner of course is the last fruit in the basket.
Message Mix-Up :
Seat your guests in a circle. Help the birthday child think of a message related to your party's theme. The birthday child then whispers the message to the person on their left, and so on. When the message has traveled all the way around the circle, the person on the birthday child's right tells the message out loud. Then the birthday child tells the original message. Expect the unexpected when you learn the original vs. the final mixed-up message. Try again with another player starting the message and continue until your guests are ready for a new activity.
Red Light, Green Light :
Before the game, lay two lengths of rope, or crepe paper, about 25 feet apart in your play area to make start and finish lines. The birthday child stands in front of the finish line (they're the Police Officer), while the others stand behind the start line. The game begins when the Police Officer turns his/her back on the other players and shouts, "Green Light!" He/she then turns around and counts to five. While the Police Officer is counting, the other players try to run or walk quickly toward the finish line. When the Police Officer has finished counting to five he/she shouts, "Red Light!" and turns around quickly. The other players must freeze instantly. If the Police Officer catches anyone moving, that player must return to the starting line. Play continues until one of the participants crosses the line while the Police Officer's back is turned. That player then becomes the Police Officer. |

Bubble Gum Game:
This game can be played as a relay race or be based on individual times. Split your guests into teams of 3-5 people. Get some paper plates, bubble gum, and whipped cream (in a can). Put a piece of bubble gum on the plate and swirl the whipped cream over it until the bubble gum is completely covered. Then have your guests dig through the whipped cream and find the bubble gum. Here's the catch, players must keep t heir hands behind their backs and dig through the whipped cream with their faces! Once they find it, they must chew it and blow a fairly good sized bubble. Go through until every one has had a turn. The person who blows the bubble first is the winner. You can also do several rounds until you have one winner. *Depending on what your guests wear, you may want to have a towel or garbage bag to use as a bib.
What If - Group Game :
Everyone sits in a circle and each person has a peice of notepaper and a pencil/pen. Each person then thinks of a sentence to write on the paper starting with WHAT IF...
Be creative... (Example: What if John had a tupe?, or What if the world was black and white?)
Then each person passes their paper to the right and then each person answers the question they were handed. (Example...I'd use it as a frisbee, or the world would be a much simpler place.) Once everyone is finished answering their question, start with one person in the circle and go to the right, the first person reads the what if question and the person to their right reads the answer they wrote for their question. (So it would be... What if John had a tupe'? ....the world would be a much simpler place.) Then that same person who just read their answer now reads their question and the person the theirright reads their answer and so on until you finish the circle. Then you start over with new what if questions. Try it, you'l be amazed at how funny some of them are!!! We were laughing so hard our sides were splitting |
