Party ideas for kids

If you are organizing a party for children, it is desirable, that you should think of a couple of games to entertain your little guests. In this case they won’t have time to set your house on fire or break your favorite vase. On the other hand, suggesting the children interesting activity, you can also entertain yourself. Here are some games, which may be of good avail for organizing a party for children.

Truth or Do Balloon Stomp: this is a traditional and well-known game with an unusual twist. Prepare a bundle of balloons with Do or Truth questions or commands. If a kid gets a Do command, he/she has to do some activity, for instance, sing a song, dance as a crazy monkey or show an angry camel. While preparing cards with the tasks, take into consideration the age of children. Truth command presupposes a sincere answer to some question, like telling the most embarrassing moment. Choose the questions thoroughly in order not to make children flush!

It’s a matter of common knowledge, that all kids adore acting like detectives or spies. Give hem such an opportunity! Before the party think of some treasure and the place where you can hide it. Print some clues, which will help the children in their search. The first such clue should be read or told to the children, all the rest they are going to find by themselves. They are sure to enjoy this game and may have a rest for a while, unless they search for the treasure in your room, of course.

Charades: a well-known old game that will never lose its popularity. What you have to do is to get ready with some charades to act out and think how the game itself will take place. If you are entertaining younger kids, choose some easy words, they are sure to understand, to show and to guess. If the children are older, you may go ahead with more difficult tasks, add different categories (Movie Titles, Sayings, Poems, Songs etc.) from which the children will choose the task and complete it. They may be also divided into several groups; this division will add some competitiveness to the game.

Pass It On: arrange the children in a circle and let one of the kids begin the game, saying “My name is Mary, and I like ice cream”. The kid, who stands next to Mary, continues, “Mary likes ice cream. And my name is Jim, and I like pizza very much!” and the game continues in such a way. This game is a very nice solution to make children get acquainted with each other and develop their memory and speech skills. It can easily be played over and over again by changing the fact to be shared, such as favorite candy, cartoons, books, animals, games, etc. Don’t forget to reward the winner!

As you see, it’s possible to organize the party for the children not only remarkable for them, but also with some educational motives. Such games will encourage teamwork, develop feelings of friendship and partnership and will simply make the party outstanding and unforgettable!
