Have you ever been to a kid's birthday party without any party games? Well, this is because a kids birthday party cannot survive without party games. Games are the best part of any kids birth day party and this is something that children look forward to the most, not to mention the cool prizes they will be getting if they win.
Kids love the challenge of trying to win the game and competing with their friends. For them, this is so much fun and exciting and that is why you should never plan a kid's birthday party without any party games.
The party games you will be choosing will depend on the place you are holding the celebration. You can do a lot more games if you have big space. You can have messy games if you the party is held outdoors. Plan at least 5-8 party games in a birthday party. And make sure that the games are not too complicated for the kids who will join in.

Here are some suggestions on party games that you may want to have on your kid's birthday party. One is called Catch the Balloon game. This game can be played by 5-10 years old and is pretty simple. The game starts by forming the children into a circle and giving them specific numbers. The child will the last number should be placed in the middle, he/she then calls out a number and throws a balloon in the air. The child with the number called should immediately catch the balloon before it hits the ground. If the child doesn't get to catch the balloon, he/she is out of the game. If the child catches the balloon, he/she will be the one in the middle and call a different number.
Another very fun game for kids is called the newspaper game. You can ask them to form pairs and get a piece of newspaper. The goal here is to outlast the other teams. To start the game, the newspaper is still wide open and laid flat, when the music starts playing, the kids will all dance. Once the music stops, they should step inside the newspaper and make sure all the parts of their foot is inside the newspaper. The game progresses by folding the newspaper until it gets smaller and smaller. And the pair will win if they are the last one standing with the smallest folded newspaper on their feet.
If you have rented quite a big place, you can have treasure hunting party games for the kids. You can draw a treasure map for them to follow and place clues in specific areas. They can work in pairs or in a team of 3. Include hidden codes in the map that they can decipher for themselves. Kids will love the mystery and finding the lost treasure. Afterwords, make sure you have a good prize for their efforts. Just be cautious where you place the clues and ensure that all areas are safe.
