7 Fun Games And Activities For Kid’s Birthday Parties
Being a children’s entertainer for parties for over 30 years, I have seen fun games and activities for kids to keep busy and entertained. I have also had my share of not so good birthday parties and disastrous magic shows because of all the chaos. But what was the main problem some parties were so out of control and others were wonderful?
When a group of kids get together for a birthday party, it’s like stirring up a fire ant pile. The kids run around screaming and yelling, jumping on sofas, and bumping into things.
Children have a staggering amount of energy especially when they are so excited to see their friends show up to a party. It’s such a natural thing for some of them to feel that way while others tend to be shy and standoffish not participating in any sort of amusement.

7 Creative Birthday Party Ideas
I have seen so many great creative birthday party ideas parents have engineered for a memorable birthday party for their child. It is very easy to take some classic games for kids and devise a new game with a theme to occupy the children during the party time and exhaust some of their energy levels.
However, children do not like to lose. An option is simply have small prizes to give away to all the kids that did not win to avoid upset or crying children at the party and save the bigger prizes for the winners.

Musical Chairs
Musical chairs is a classic game everyone still enjoy event the grownup love to play. So why not allow the parents play instead and have the kids to remove the chairs or stop the music.
Place balloons on the chairs that can be popped easily as an added feature of the game.

Freeze Dance
Music at a party really sets the mood and atmosphere for the party. A dance party theme can include Freeze Dance. Just like the musical chairs, all the kids dance while the music is playing. When the music stops, the kids freeze in place. Whoever moves or doesn’t stop dancing is out of the game until there is one winner.
The Balloon Pop Game
This is a fun and interactive game that gets the party popping! Take two balloons and tie them to the ankle of one leg on each of the players. The object of the game is to pop the other player’s balloons by stomping on them while protecting your balloons from getting popped.
Arts And Crafts Party
Some children prefer to do arts and crafts instead of playing a game. There are so many ways to be creative with this one. Get printouts for coloring, foam shapes, glitter, stickers, and washable glue sticks.
For a magic theme party, kids can decorate top hats which would also be used a goody bags or loot bags, magic wands, or jumbo playing cards with stickers, markers, foam star cutouts, and bunny rabbit cutouts.
Clown theme parties kids can color a funny clown face. Decorate plastic clown shoes and given way as goody bags as well. Make to include clown noses into the mix of fun.
Unicorn theme parties; print out coloring pages; decorate the horn of a unicorn, rainbows, and stars. Get little bottles and fill them with glitter and call it magic dust or fairy dust.
For a game, the children play a ring toss. Toss a ring onto a unicorn’s horn and they win a prize!

Costume Contests
Holding a costume contest can be amusing and entertaining. The kids dress up for a fashion show, their favorite superhero, princess or prince, or Halloween costume. Do a fashion show runway style for each of the children to show off their costumes on the red carpet.
The costume contest winner is selected by the loudest cheers and applause which is a great way for the kids to exert their energy.
