Party GamesSparklers Favourite Party Games Musical Papers:
 Get the children to dance to the music. When the music stops, all the children have to find a paper as quickly as possible. The papers are reduced as the games progresses the winner is the child who is standing on the last paper when the music stops.
Musical Animals:
 The children dance around to music. When the music stops they have to stand absolutely still, like a statue. If anyone moves, they are out. You can vary this game by getting the children to dance like individual animals (you pick the animal first, then the children take it in turns to pick one – you can also make it even more varied by giving them an adjective – like posh horse, mad monkey, sneaky cat). When they make a statue, it has to look like a pose of that particular animal. Prizes are given for the best impressions but no one is out.
Musical chairs:
 Put out one less chairs than there are children (or cushions, if they’re very young). The children have to dance around the chairs and when the music stops, sit on a chair immediately. The number of chairs is reduced and all the children remain in the game the first child on the last chair is the winner.
Pass the Parcel:
 Make a parcel by wrapping up a prize in several layers of paper (one for each child, plus an extra one). Sit the children in a circle, give one of them the parcel and when the music starts, get them to hand it to the next child, who hands it on, and on. When the music stops, the child who is holding the parcel opens the first layer. Then when the music starts again, they hand it on to the next child, and so on. Wrap the final present in something obvious so that you know which is the final round. You can put a sweet or a little something in each layer of wrapping. Then the last one with the prize in can be well and truly random.
Duck Duck Goose
 All the children sit in a cicle and one appointed child walks round the outside of the circle and pats each child in turn on the head saying duck, duck, duck until he/she decides on one to be goose the goose must get up and run round the outside of the circle and beat the fox back to his/her space if fox wins the goose is now the fox.
Pin the tail on the donkey:
 Get a large piece of card, draw a donkey on it (preferably a rather silly looking one) and make a tail. Blindfold each child and get them to attach the tail (by means of bluetak). Tell them if they cheat they’ll be disqualified. There are all sorts of variations on this: pin the eye on the alien; pin the horn on a unicorn; pin the wand on the wizard etc.
Sparklers’s footsteps:  Sparkler stands with her back to everyone else who stands well back from them – between 15 and 20 feet. Everyone has to move closer to Sparkler when her head is turned. When she turns around, anyone who she sees still moving has to go back to the beginning. The person who catches up with Sparkler and taps her on the shoulder is the winner. They then take Sparklers place in the next game.
Sleepy lions:
 A good one for young children (2-4) when things are getting out of control. Get everyone to lie down and pretend to be sleepy lions. They mustn’t make a move. You then walk around and try and disturb them by talking, or very gentle tickling (very gently you don’t want them to be out too quickly). Anyone who moves is out. They can also then help wake up the other lions.
Follow My leader:
 Get the children to follow a leader (maybe start with an adult to get the ball rolling). The children have to follow whatever the leader does as they move around. Suggestions: hopping, hands on head, jumping, running, skipping, silly walks, turning round, waving arms, being an animal, being a posh person, etc.
Escape the Monster:
Formerly known as british bulldog. A big space is needed to line all the children up two volunteers are the monsters in the. The children have to run past any that are caught join the monsters in the middle
Pass the Balloon:
 Hilarious fun players pass balloons through their legs without using hands first long balloons and if this is too easily accomplished next time we use round ones. Played in teams of between 5 and 8 depending on number of participants.
Make a Mummy
 Players get into teams of three and make a real life mummy out of one teams member using a roll of toilet tissue not as easy as it seems when the tissue starts tearing and ripping Sparkler Said:
 A twist on the classic Simon said but we are playing with Sparkler so this one is Sparkler said. |
