Ideas

Birthday Party Games

*  HAHAHA  (group - fun for all ages) even adults!

This is a contagious laughing game.  Player #1 lies on their back and places their head on the belly of player #2 .  Player   #2 then places Their head on the belly of player #3, and so on.  Players should end up lying in a zigzag formation.  Now the first person shouts "ha!" and the next person answers with "ha ha!".... etc. Soon everyone loses control and starts laughing hysterically.

SCULPTURE  (group - another game adults would like)

Equipment: Blindfolds.      

Three people are required with one person blindfolded and another person takes some shape and stays like that.  The person who is blindfolded must feel the person who is a shape, and must sculpture the third person into that shape.

* SHOE TWISTER (group)

Everyone takes off one shoe and puts it in the center of the circle. Everyone joins hands.  On "Go", everyone gets a shoe from center and finds the person who owns it, and puts it back on that person without letting go of hands of people beside them.

*  SIMON SAYS  (group - an old standby)

Players form a line facing the leader, who performs any action saying Simon says do this.  If he doesn't say " Simon says" before an action, then anyone who imitates the action is out of the game.  Continue until one person is left.

*  SPUD  (group)

Equipment: Ball      

Throw the ball up in the air and call a number.  Ask number 1 is called, if he catches the ball he calls another number. (Each player has been given his own number.)  If he doesn't catch the ball he calls "FREEZE" and takes three giant steps and tries to hit a person with the ball below the waist.  If he hits the person then they get a point against them and get to call a new number.  If the player misses the person he is trying to hit then he gets a point against him and has to throw the ball up.

*  DROP THE HANDKERCHIEF

The players form a circle.  One player is chosen to be IT.  He walks around outside the circle with a handkerchief in his hand.  He drops it quietly behind one player and keeps walking trying to get around the circle before the player discovers the handkerchief.  If IT gets all the way around the player becomes a dead fish and stands in the middle of the circle.  If the player discovers it he chases IT and catches  him, they are not IT.   If he doesn't catch IT, he becomes IT.  A dead fish can rescue himself in two ways.  He may snatch the handkerchief from behind some other player before that player sees it, or a player behind whom the handkerchief has been dropped may toss it into the circle behind a dead fish.  The dead fish then picks up the handkerchief and chases IT.

*  BLIND MANS BLUFF

Equipment: blindfold     

Blindfold one player and spin them around 3 times.  The blindfolded player tries to tag one of the other players, who may crouch low, sneak up behind the "blind man" and yell "Boo", or stand still and keep very quiet.  Eventually though, someone will get careless and be tagged.  That player is then blindfolded for the next game.

*  BALLOON BUNS

Equipment: balloon with message inside      The players sit in a circle.  A balloon is passed around the circle. Each player has to sit on the balloon with all their weight for 3 seconds.  If someone breaks the balloon, they must do what it says on the message. (ex, sing a song, bark like a dog, dance)

*  BALLOON BATTLE

Equipment:  Balloons, string      Inflated balloons and string for each team member.  Have two teams.   Tie balloons to ankle and teams try to burst the others first.  Team with the last balloons wins.  As your balloon is burst you withdraw from the game.
