How to Find Games for a Kid's Birthday Party
- 1). Talk with other parents who have children around the same age as yours, especially the parents of the other children you're inviting. If they've ever hosted a kids' birthday party themselves, they may have some great ideas for you.
- 2). Talk to your kids. Your kids have probably played games at other birthday parties they've attended, at summer camp or even during school activities. Getting your kids involved in the planning can help you choose age-appropriate activities and help you spend quality time with your kids.
- 3). Utilize online resources, such as Amazing Moms.com. The Internet is filled with helpful resources for how to play popular kids' party games. For example, if a fellow parent suggests you use the game "Captain May I?" but you have no idea how to play it, you can look it up through an online resource. Such websites are also a great place to find ideas.
- 4). Link your party games with the theme of the party. This can help you come up with more original games for the birthday party, which could keep the kids interested for a longer period of time. For example, if you're having a princess-themed birthday party, have the kids pass around a stuffed unicorn instead of a beanbag while playing Hot Potato. At the end of the game, the winner can keep the unicorn.
