Birthday party games for 5 year old boy?
by admin on Tuesday, March 9th, 2010 | 2 Comments
Son’s birthday is end of March, most guests should be little boys… should be fairly nice weather, so most stuff can be outside. Thinking pin the tail on the donkey (or some animal) and maybe an easter egg hunt, since the party will be the day before Easter… the thinking behind that -keep the kids busy and outside and hopefully wear them out 
Any other suggestions? Not 100% sure of the Easter Egg hunt, so still thinking some out side stuff.
thanks
I’ve been planning my 5yo birthday the past few days (lands on Easter this year) I found many games ideas just incase some weren’t a hit, we could move on. I’m planning on doing the classics s/a
1. Musical Chairs/ Musical Bumps
2. Pin the Tail on the Bunny
3. Hot Potato (hot bunny)
4. Freeze/Statues
5. Red Rover
6. Bingo
I searched all over online & found these sites the most helpful.
(click the Ha-Ha-Hilarious Kids Party Game Ideas at the bottom of the page, there are a few neat games)
Here are a few more I liked
M&M/Smarties Vacuums: Spread out M&M’s out in a circle & have kids suck up the candy using a straw & place them in a cup.
Ppl Scavenger Hunt Bingo: Make a bingo board of things ppl have done or have (ie 1 square can be Find a person w/ blue eyes, find a person who showered today etc) Kids go around asking & if any other player matches the description they sign there initials in the square (I was going to use stamps & stickers) You can set a time limit or until someone completes a full line. (You would probably need adult help w/ this game depending on reading skills)
