First you'll need to select a party theme. Then ask your child what they would like to play at their party. You can purchase pre- prepared party games or adapt a traditional party game so that it works with your theme. For instance... "Duck, Duck, Goose can be changed to "Princess, Princess, Knight" or Spiderman, Spiderman, Green Goblin" etc. With some artistic skills, markers and poster board, Pin the Tail on the Donkey can be turned into "Pin the Crown on the Princess". Next, you need to consider your party space and whether you'll need to play indoors. We recommend that you select games that can be played indoors and outdoors or have a few easy games planned in case there is a weather change. Tips for Birthday Party Games Select Appropriate Games Some games will be a hit and others will be a "dud". When appropriate, ask your child to participate in the party game planning. If they think it's a fun game...their friends probably will too. Consider your party space and the age group of the children. Be Flexible If you sense that a party game is not going well, let it go and move on to the next activity. Or, make a quick adaptation to an existing game. If your party games are dependant on the weather...be prepared to take the party indoors if necessary. Be Prepared Have all games set up and ready to go before the party. Make sure you understand how the games is played. Everyone is a Winner Parties are a time to have fun. We always suggest that all participants receive a prize or none at all. Especially when entertaining very young children who don't have a grasp on good sportsmanship. Consider playing most, if not all games without prizes but everyone gets a candy or sticker. When all of the games are complete...everyone receives their goody bags. Popular Party Games for Kids
