Birthday Games for Kids All Age

Birthday parties are an important celebration for children. Kids love them because they get loads of attention, games, presents, cakes… everything that makes them happy! However, there is one aspect of birthday celebrations that can be intimidating: planning the entertainment! If you’re looking for birthday games for children and you don’t know where to start, make sure you keep reading. In this blog post, we will share the best birthday games for kids all ages.

Birthday Games for Younger Kids

Avoid competitive games with younger children because they don’t always grasp the concept of sportsmanship, and their feelings are easily hurt when they don’t win. Here are some ideas for younger children:

Scavenger Hunt

A birthday party scavenger hunt where children have to find things and do challenges at different locations. It’s a great way to get your guests moving around and having fun together. You can design it yourself, providing an interactive map that they have to collect items from! It’s also good to plan this type of game during the summertime because it will keep the kids entertained for hours while giving them some exercise as well.

Pin the tail on the donkey and Piñata

Play these games with prizes inside from their favorite tv shows (like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse). Add a twist: hang these colorful decorations outside or somewhere where you’d normally would, and have people take turns whacking them open for candy every time they hear someone shout “Piñata time!”

Hokey Pokey

Kids love this game! In front of a group of children, take turns spinning around in one direction for five seconds, then spin quickly back again to switch directions. Kids will go crazy with these motions while singing “Doing the hokeypokey!” Make sure that parents are paying attention, so they can help catch any child who starts falling over. You’ll want them standing up straight for all six rotations before moving onto the next person.

Egg toss

This game is played with a raw egg and a small basket, or it can be played using two bowls with water in them (the participant who gets the most eggs into their bowl wins). You’ll want to avoid playing this game if you have children who don’t understand how to play fair – they might end up picking up an egg and smashing it on another player’s head! That being said, this game has been shown to improve hand/eye coordination skills in young children.

Musical chairs

For this one there will be some chairs lined up on either side of the room or area. You’ll then need something that makes noise (a metronome, for example) – once someone starts playing music, players need to quickly run around looking for an empty chair before time runs out! The last person left standing gets eliminated and needs to take a seat while everyone else plays another round.

Charades

Charades is a game where one person acts out something and everyone else has to guess. It’s usually played in teams but can be done with just two people too – and it works well for all ages! The great thing about Charades is that there are no losers (or winners!), so anyone playing will likely have a good time.

Birthday games for Older Kids: Ages 12+

Birthday games for kids who are a little older and ready to have some fun! These games encourage teamwork, creativity, and competitiveness:

Mega Blocks

This team-building game is played by having teams of two or more members work together to build an object out of blocks. The first person on each team gets two blocks while everyone else gets one block – whoever can make it fastest wins! It’s helpful if you give your child some Mega Blocks sets before their birthday party, so they’re familiar with them, but be careful not to let younger children play because they might get frustrated when they don’t win.

White Elephant Gift Exchange

For this game, everyone at the party brings a wrapped present to contribute. We recommend that each person brings one wrapped gift and then takes turns choosing presents until all of them have been traded at some point. This game is fun because it’s both competitive and allows people to trade gifts, so they can get something they really want!

Guess Who

For this birthday game, you’ll need two sets of cards – one for your child with pictures on it, and one for guests without pictures. Guests will try their best to guess who the character on the card belongs to by asking yes/no questions about what he or she likes (or doesn’t like) as well as other random facts about them. Whoever guesses correctly first – wins!

Twister

Twister is a game of physical skill and balance that has been popular for decades. It’s played on a mat with players’ feet and hands in different color circles, and you have to move your body around until all of your limbs are in their own spots. The last player left standing – wins! Twister can be played indoors or outdoors, so it will work well no matter what type of party setting you choose.

Don’t Spill the Cup

This is a simple but fun game. You’ll need to provide each guest with an empty cup and then fill it up with water, soda, or another drink of your choice. Players must carefully walk over the cups without spilling their beverage by using both hands to hold the edge of the cup and making sure they step on as few eggs as possible while walking across them.

Truth or Dare

This classic party game is a favorite of many older kids. Have each person write down three truths or dares on separate pieces of paper; then take turns picking one to do from the pile. If you’re out of ideas, try filling the paper with questions like these:

• Tell me your most embarrassing moment.
• Sing your favorite song.
• Tell a story about the craziest dream you had.
• Who’s your best friend, and why are they your best friend?

Keep the Guests Happy and Entertained

Sometimes a party can get boring, so you need to think of every party detail, not just the birthday games. Try these ideas to keep your guests happy:

• Play music that everyone likes in between birthday cake and presents.
• Include a variety of food like pizza, chips, veggies with dip, fruit skewers, or cupcakes.
• Make sure there’s enough seating for all of your friends so nobody is left out.
• Consider a different type of game for each age group.
• Games that involve physical activity can be played outside in good weather conditions.
• Invite an entertainer such as a face painter, balloon sculptor, or caricature artist.
• Provide plenty of snacks to keep them from getting hungry or restless.
• Have a backup plan in case things don’t go as planned. Know what you will do if someone starts crying or has a tantrum.
