Birthday party games for kids
can seem like the hardest thing to come up for your child’s
party, but it doesn’t have to be so difficult. Children love
to be entertained by even simple measures.
You don’t need to
create elaborate games for your child and his or her friends to have a
good time. These three birthday party games for kids are always a hit
because there is often a lot of laughing involved.
The first game is called the
“Faces Game.” You will need the children to sit in
a circle. One child will need to start the game out by being it. The
child that is it will go around to each person and has one minute to
make them laugh.
This can be done by making funny faces,
telling a
joke, or just laughing. If the child that is it can’t get the
other participant to laugh within the minute, they have to try the next
person in the circle. Once someone else laughs, that person will then
become it.
Birthday party games for kids can also be
derivatives of other games. The next game is a fun follow-the-leader
type game called “Follow the Animal.” The child who
starts out behaves like an animal of choice while the others have to
follow. He or she will not tell the other children what animal it is.
The first follower to guess what animal is being acted out gets to be
the leader.
The third game is a simple fortune telling
game. You will first need to write down the names of all the children
who are at the party on pieces of paper. Next you place them in a bag
or a hat. Then you will have each child write out part of a fortune
followed by the word “and.” The other half of the
fortune will be on a second piece of paper.
For example a
child’s fortune may read something like, “You will
have a lot of money and,” on one piece of paper, and the
other half of the fortune on a second piece of paper, “live
in a bubble on Mars.” Kids can be as silly as they want with
these fortunes. You’ll put the first part of the fortunes in
a second bag or hat, and the second part of the fortunes in a third bag
or hat to be drawn.
Birthday party games for kids can be simple,
yet fun. Children have a lot of fun with these games even though they
don’t require a lot of planning or time.
