Indoor games for a child's birthday
The fall or winter season does not allow you to have a birthday outside or you simply do not have a garden, it is not a problem. You will have to forget about games that splash, are too noisy or dirty. Here is a list of indoor games for your child's birthday. This article is presented to you by Alfred Meeting .
Musical chairs
This timeless game is one of the great classics of indoor games. Place the chairs in a circle back to back. To do this, there must be one chair less than the number of children. Let the music play, and the children must turn in a circle around the chairs. When the music stops, the children must sit on a chair. The one who remains standing without a chair is then eliminated. To continue the game, remove a chair each round until there is only one left.
Twister
You will only need to have the twister game including the famous mat and the roulette wheel, but this game is worth it, because you can reuse it even with older children! Unfold the colored mat and spin the roulette wheel, the children will have to position their hands or feet on the colored circles designated by the roulette wheel. This game can be played in teams of two!
The game of taste
This game will awaken children's taste buds. Provide several foods such as: ketchup, mustard, cheese, chocolate, fruits, vegetables... Let the children taste the foods blindfolded, they will have to recognize each food to accumulate a certain score. Beware of allergies, and put aside the paper napkins!
The mime
You can make several teams or just two teams for the mime game! If you have a mime game, that's ideal, otherwise prepare labels with actions or characters to mime (animal, job, object, etc.). A child on the team will have to draw a card and have the rest of their team guess it to win a point, set a time!
Creative workshops
Most children love to create, tinker, and invent objects. Prepare a creative workshop where children can leave with their creation, which will create a souvenir. Depending on the theme of the birthday, you will choose the object in question. For a pirate theme, you can decorate small chests, for the princess theme, you can prepare a jewelry workshop (bracelets, necklaces), for the jungle theme create animal masks with all kinds of materials!
Outdoor games for a child's birthday
The good weather is here, and you want to use a garden or a park for your child's birthday, here are some ideas for outdoor games.
First of all, check that the garden is fenced, that there are no dangerous objects (DIY tools), and mark out the birthday area.
The shake-up
Recycle your cans, and stack them on top of each other to form a pyramid. Players will be equipped with a ball (tennis ball, foam ball, etc.) and will have to knock over the cans. Whoever knocks over the most cans wins the game.
The belly that slides
This flagship summer game is a hit with everyone! The principle is very simple: lay out a tarpaulin that you have soaped with dishwashing liquid or shampoo to make it as slippery as possible. Dressed in a swimsuit, they can then slide as far as possible on the tarpaulin.
The sack race
More fun than a classic race, participants will have to place their legs in a bag (potato net). They will have to jump with both feet to get to the finish line. The first to arrive wins!
1, 2, 3 Sun!
Children will be quick to play this game. One of them will have to stand with his back to the other participants a few meters away. The others will have to stand behind him on the same line. The player will clap his hands three times while saying loudly "1, 2, 3 sun" while turning around at the word sun. The goal of the other players is to move forward as quickly as possible while the one who is counting has his back turned. Once he turns around, the players will have to freeze like statues. Whoever manages to arrive next to the one who is counting will have won the game.
The water fight
Who doesn't love a water fight? You can do it with guns or with balloons. It's a great way to let off steam for the kids. Make sure the weather is nice so they don't get sick. Ask the other parents to plan a change of clothes in advance.
The stilts
A game that combines agility and speed. You can use large painted tin cans with long ropes to make stilts for your children. This infernal race will please children from 4 years old! Who has never played stilts at a birthday party?
