Fun Games At Kids' Birthday Parties

Birthdays are something very special. And when it comes to your child, you want to organize the most unforgettable party.

You'll need space, a treat, and a few game ideas. Children love to play games, and this is the easiest way to engage their attention and leave good memories in them from the birthday party. 

Today we will share fun games that every child at the birthday party will love. There is a game suitable for every age group and interest. Some of them need preliminary preparation, but there is nothing complicated.

Make your program by alternating moving with more casual games, variety for the senses and receiving small rewards periodically.

Hairdresser

This game is mainly suitable for girls, but boys can join too. You can buy small and colorful hair accessories such as pins, bows, patterned elastics and clips, braided hair strands and fun, colourful sprays. That will make the kids go ecstatic and will also make them use their imagination and creativity. 

A brand called Crazy Color has the best temporary hair dyes in the form of a spray, which are easy to use, safe and easy to wash off. They have a palette of fun colours that kids will love and enjoy experimenting with.

Warm-up music game

This game is suitable for warming up when the children are still unsure or do not know each other.

• Preparation

You will need different wrapping papers such as color and tear strength (you can also use newspapers). You will also need lots of small snackable surprises like candies, lollipops, individually wrapped cookies, desserts, etc.

Make a ball of paper, put some candies around it and wrap everything with another piece. Add some more surprises and pack them. The size of your gift depends on the group of children. 

• Condition

Ask the children to sit in a circle. When you play music, the children pass each other the gift. When the music stops, the child in whose hands the gift is begins to unwrap it quickly. Each time the gift is torn, goodies fall from it.

You play the music again, and the gift keeps rolling—long alternate music with short and surprising pauses. Try to give every child a chance to get a reward.

Eating with no hands

This fun game can be played as a competition between several players.

• Preparation

Disposable plates and food that is difficult to eat, the same for all participants. For example, a piece of cake, popcorn, etc.

• Condition

Participants are seated with their hands behind their backs. When a signal is given, they start eating, and whoever gets it done first gets a prize.

Guess what's in the bag?

This is a game where you can let your imagination run wild. Put various objects in a small, dense bag. The goal is for the participant to recognize them without looking and only by touch.

The number of items, as well as their complexity, depends on the age of the players. The participant who guessed the most objects wins the game.

Who will inflate the balloons faster?

The game is suitable before you decorate everywhere with balloons, or you can give the children to play with the inflated balloons. The game is competitive. You choose several participants and give each of the three balloons; the condition is to blow them with your mouth. The first person to complete the task wins a prize.

You can make a continuation of the game where each player has to burst their balloons. The fastest participant wins.

Another option is for each participant to tie a balloon to their leg with a string. The condition is that everyone bursts the other's balloon with a foot. 

Music quiz

• Preparation

Select popular songs from different music genres.

• Condition

You play the song for a short time, and the participants have to guess what it is and who is playing it. The first person to think of it wins a prize.

Little Chefs

When you want to involve the children in the preparations for the birthday, you can give them individual or group tasks, for example, decorating everywhere with balloons or taking care of the treats and snacks themselves. The game can be named "Little Chefs" for small children, and for older kids, it can be "Master Chef".

The participants have aprons and hats on their heads and look like chefs. They go to the kitchen, where you have pre-prepared everything. They need to prepare their sandwiches, snacks, drinks, etc. The products are washed, peeled and cut. You offer them something completely different in the form of a game, and they can choose and prepare their food.

Show them several options for decorating sandwiches, bites, etc. and let them work independently. If you want, there can be a prize for the most beautiful plate or original sandwich.

To summarise, 

Every kid looks forward to their birthday, and having cake and inviting all his friends to have fun together are unforgettable memories that don't have a price. Sometimes as adults, we might run out of ideas, so we hope our blog was useful and gave you some ideas for the next time your child has a birthday.
