Birthday Party Games for Children
Birthday parties for children are fun and they are good avenues for
the children to play and entertain themselves. In case you are holding a
birthday party for your kid and have invited children to the party
ensure you have these games in place so as to turn the party into fun
and pomp.
Catch the Balloon
 It is played indoors and requires about four or five balloons.
Arrange the children into a circle and let them number off. The child
who has the highest number stays at the center and becomes the 'IT'. The
game is played with the 'IT' holding the balloon and calling out any
number while dropping the balloon on the floor. The child who has the
number that has been called tries to get hold of the balloon before it
is put on the floor. If the player manages to touch the balloon then
'IT' calls another number. If he fails then that player automatically
becomes the new 'IT'.
Buzz Bomb Balloon
This game is best played in teams and each child is given a balloon
that is not inflated. Each team can have a different color of the
balloons. There should be a target at which the players will direct
their inflated balloons at when they are given the signal to do so. The
closest balloon to the target earns five points whereas the direct hit
gets fifteen points.
Poor kitty
This game involves blindfolding one player and placing him at the
center of a circle. The players then move around the circle so as to
change positions. The blindfolded player then secures a player and who
then in a disguised voice says 'poor kitty'. If the blindfolded child
correctly identifies his captured prisoner the two change positions but
if he fails to identify him he is released and the game continues.
Twenty Questions
In this game one child becomes the 'IT' and is allowed to leave the
room. The rest of the players choose one object in the room. When 'IT'
returns to the room he is required to guess correctly the object that
has been selected by the rest of the players. He does this by asking
twenty questions which must be answered with either a yes or a no. If he
correctly guesses the item then another person becomes the 'IT' and if
he fails he continues for another game.
Duck Duck Goose
While playing this game have the children sit down while facing each
other in a circle. They are thus 'Ducks'. One child is chosen to be the
fox. The fox then moves around the circle tapping the children and
calling them ducks. He/she taps one child and calls him a goose. The
goose is supposed to chase the fox round the circle and try to tag him
before he gets to the position the goose was seated. Should the fox
succeed in sitting where the goose was seated then the fox becomes the
goose and vice versa and the game starts over.
