🎉 Party Games for Kids
The best party games and activities to keep kids entertained at any birthday party.
Musical Chairs
A classic game that never gets old. Walk around chairs while music plays, and grab a seat when it stops! Use themed music to match the party — Disney soundtracks for princess parties, space sounds for astronaut themes.
Freeze Dance
Dance when the music plays, freeze when it stops. Anyone who moves is out! Award silly prizes for the best freeze pose. Works brilliantly for ages 3-10.
Scavenger Hunt
Hide items or clues around the party area for kids to find. Create age-appropriate clue cards — picture clues for younger kids, riddles for older ones. Teams make it more exciting!
Relay Races
Set up obstacle courses or relay challenges. Teams compete for the fastest time. Egg-and-spoon races, balloon between the knees, or three-legged races add hilarious variety.
Pass the Parcel
Wrap a gift in multiple layers. Pass it while music plays, unwrap one layer when it stops. Include a small treat between layers so everyone wins something.
Balloon Pop
Fill balloons with challenges or prizes inside. Pop them to discover what's inside! Write funny dares, lucky prizes, or trivia questions on slips of paper.
Musical Statues
Like freeze dance but with a twist — kids must hold a specific pose (animal, superhero, robot) when music stops. Judges pick the best pose for bonus points.
Treasure Hunt
Hide small prizes, gold coins, or treat bags around the party area. Give each team a map with X-marks-the-spot clues. The team with the most treasure wins!
Simon Says
A timeless game that sharpens listening skills. Theme it to match the party — "Captain Hook says" for pirate parties, "Queen says" for princess parties.
Limbo
Hold a pool noodle or ribbon and have kids lean back to walk under it. Lower it each round. Play fun music and cheer them on — always gets big laughs!
