If birthday parties aren't something you're used to planning, it could be challenging to come up with good birthday games for kids. Maybe you're throwing a birthday party for your son and inviting his friends; you know for a fact that boys can be energetic and rowdy. That's your starting point: Boys enjoy games that are fun and require activity. Let's go over a few ideas.
Boys naturally love to play war games that involve pretend guns. If the birthday is in the summer, how about a water gun fight? Divide the boys up into two teams and let them fight like cowboys and Indians. The goal of this game is to get the other team more wet than your team! By the way, don't forget to tell your guests to bring extra clothes when you send out your invitations. You don't want them to be sitting in drippy wet clothes when it's time to cut the cake. You can find good deals on water guns if you shop for them at the local dollar stores. You'll be able to find a wide variety of colors and sizes.
When you're thinking of birthday games for kids, they don't have to be costly. Even a three-legged race will be a hit for boys. Just remember that if you do this game, you need to match the boys up according to size or there could be injuries as a result. Here's how it works: Divide the boys into two teams. Two boys each will tie themselves to each other (right leg tied to the left leg). Each pair's goal is to finish the race first. If the boys are older and you want to make it even more challenging, create an obstacle course.
Another idea that boys will enjoy is playing dress-up. Sound insane? Not if you get the boys to dress up as pirates and let them recreate scenes from their very favorite pirate stories. Better yet, if you plan on having a pirate theme for the birthday party, you could organize a pirate treasure hunt
One last birthday games for kids is the spoon race. All you will need for this game are spoons and something to balance on the spoons, like pieces of fruit, a small ball, or an egg. The object of this game is to have each team pass the spoon with their teeth through the line of your team. The first team to have the spoon reach the other end of the line without hands is the winner. This game may be too difficult for smaller boys though.
Hopefully all these tips for birthday games for kids have given you inspiration. Don't forget to have fun yourself!
