Birthday Games

Balloon Relay
Divide the children into 2 or more equal teams and stand them in a line. Give each team ten balloons in a basket. The first in each line takes a balloon and runs to the other side of the room/yard/area and sits or stomps on the balloon to pop it. After poping the balloon they run back to the line and tag the next person who does the same thing. The game goes on until one team has poped all of their balloons. The winning team gets a small prize (like a ribbon) while EVERYONE gets a small toy.
Toy Walk
This is done like a cake walk. Have numbers on the ground for as many children (1-10). Walk on the numbers until the music stops. Have numbers on some small toys. If a child is standing on the number of the toy, they win the toy.
Whistling Crackers
You give every child 3 soda crackers. When you say”GO” every child puts all the crackers at once in his/her mouth. The first one to whistle wins. (You can also substitute the soda crackers with peanut butter but make sure there are no Allergies).
Can You Guess
Put several small items into a brown paper bag. Blindfold one person and hand them one of the items in the bag. Give them a few seconds to guess what the item is. If they are unsuccessful they are out. The last one wins.
Stuck in the Mud
One person is ‘IT’ and has to run round touching as many people aas they can. When they have touched someone, that person has to stop and stand with their legs apart and their hands outstreached, until someone crawls through their legs. If you’ve been caught three times, then you are out. The game ends when everyone left is standing still.
Ducky Ducky
Everyone sits in a circle except one who is given a pillow and blind-fold. They then go and place the pillow on a persons lap, sit on it and say ducky ducky. The person should say”quack quack” this can be done only 3 times.If the blind person guesses the name the person, they should now be given the blind fold and the game run over again – after everyone has changed their places.
