Having a children's party is hard work with all the organising that needs to be done without having to worry about keeping them entertained during the party as well, here at Party Options are a few ideas and games to play at your children's party.
Balloon Race
Place some cushions on the floor to act as place markers. Then spilt the children into teams of four people or more and give each team a balloon. Then one person from each team stands at each of the cushion markers. The first player from each team starts by holding the balloon between there knees and has to hop to the next person to pass on the balloons (try not to use your hands its more fun). That teammate then hops to the next person and marker and so on. If at any time someone drops or pops the balloon, that team must start over. The first team to complete the course wins.
Musical Chairs
A great traditional game this which also helps to burn off a bit of party energy with some running around. For musical chairs just place one less chair than their are children in a row with one facing forward and one facing backward, get some party music playing with the children running around the chairs until the music is stopped and everyone has to sit down except for one person who can`t get a chair which then means they are out, remove one or two chairs each time and keep going until you get down to the last person who is the winner.
Pop the Balloon
I love this game its one of my favourites. White two sets of numbers on some small pieces of paper put one of each number inside each balloon, then blow them up and tie them off as normal. Then put the second set of numbers into a hat. Every child is then given a balloon to pop, just by sitting on top of it. A number is then drawn from the hat and whoever has the balloon with the matching number inside is the winner.
Pin the Tail on the Donkey
For a slight twist on this classic game and to get great value from a pinata, buy a donkey shaped pinata and then have a game of pin the tale on the donkey using the pinata donkey, don`t forget to fill your pinata with plenty of sweets and goodies before you bash the pinata and why not try it blindfolded, whoever gets the closest gets a prezzie and first bash at the pinata.
Pass the Parcel
This is a classic party game which i`m sure most people have played before where you pass around a parcel that has been wrapped lots of times with a main prize in the very centre but with often sweets or treats in every layer as well. Just keep on passing the parcel around the circle until the music stops and the person holding the parcel at that time then gets to open one layer of the wrapping paper. Just keep going until all the wrapping has gone and someone have won the main prize.
A good tip is to stop the music to make sure every child has had a go at unwrapping the parcel and got a little treat as well.
