Kids Birthday Bash Game Guide

Would it even be a birthday party without a few fun, creative games to entertain your guests? We have pulled together some really fun options that range from classic to creative to active games to help suit all ages and abilities at your upcoming party. Read ahead to learn about what we would recommend for your kiddos’ big day.

Here are some of the best party games for young kids:

Classic Fun

For some classic fun, consider freeze tag! This requires no setup, very easy directions, and minimal supplies. All you need is music and space to wiggle and dance, Whoever doesn’t freeze when the music stops it out! We’d also recommend red light, green light for another easy to execute, classic party game. This is a great way to teach listening skills along with getting the kids up and moving around the party. Lastly, a good ol’ round of hide-and-seek is a great way to let kids enjoy the thrill of the chance and the excitement around finding their friends.

Creative Play

Amp up the fun with some creative games at your event. Provide paper and crayons for kids to draw their creations based on the theme of your party, and give everyone a chance to share. You can also set up some structured play stations with blocks, legos, clay, or play-doh to foster creativity and teamwork with peers to build towers, castles, and other fun structures. For another fun, collaborative activity, consider storytelling! Have children each contribute 1 sentence or phrase to pull together a fun, exciting story.

Active Games

Pump It Up really shines in this category, as active play is what we aim to do in every event! Your local store will have fun, active games to get all the kids involved, like bubble mania parties, obstacle course races, and dance parties. Also consider some other fun options, like a three-legged race, sack race, or balloon games. Keep your balloon off the ground while attempting to pop your friends balloon! Or, play balloon volleyball by splitting into teams.

No matter the venue or age of your partygoers, we’re sure that one or two of these games will be a great addition to your kiddos’ big day! Incorporate a few into your schedule for your event to give kids the chance to play, collaborate, and have fun! We are ready to help you plan your next event at Pump It Up where we can plan all these games for you to make it easy on you and fun for all!  Let us help you celebrate today and learn more at www.pumpitupparty.com.
