Riggs says this is one of her favorite games. At the end of the race, hand out prizes like plastic trophies, water bottles and bike accessories, such as spokesters, horns and pennants. You can also have a water spray at the end of the race course during summertime parties. You can find traffic cones at any major home improvement store and plastic skateboard ramps at local supercenters. Have kids decorate bikes with streamers, pennants and noisemakers made from playing cards placed between the spokes. The race can take place in a park, vacant lot, cul-de-sac or driveway. This game can also be made into a relay race. Have some extras on hand for those who forget.Ĭreate a short obstacle course and time each rider separately, or if it’s a large area, they can all go at the same time.
Just note on the invitations that it’s a BYOB (bring your own bike) party, and be sure to ask parents to bring their kids’ helmets along, too. Kids will stay happily occupied with this obstacle course bike race, which includes a bike decorating contest and award ceremony. Hand out small prizes at the end to all your little bubble players. You’ll be surprised how many times young children will want to play this game. Once you’ve played a few times, let the kids start taking turns being the bubble blower. An adult will blow bubbles (or you could opt for a faster bubble machine) and the players race around to pop as many bubbles as they can. This is one for your youngest guests and is perfect for toddlers and young preschool-aged kids. Make sure to give out small prizes, like stickers, as players are eliminated so that everyone walks away happy. Anyone younger than 4 can be encouraged to dance along in a separate area just for fun. This one is lots of fun for younger kids but tougher for those under 4 years old. When the music is paused, each child must freeze like a statue. Play some upbeat music and let the kids dance like crazy. There is really no need for prizes here because the doughnuts will be the yummiest prize of all. The big challenge: No hands allowed! The first person to finish their doughnut without it falling wins. On the count of three, each player must try to eat their entire doughnut without it falling to the ground. Use ribbons to attach each doughnut to the rope so that the doughnut hangs freely and is at a good length for the party guests. Tie a rope to something sturdy, such as thick tree branches. This one is simple enough for the younger guests and delicious enough for everyone else. The team who crosses without making a peep (or making the least pops) wins! This game is best for kids ages 3 and up. If you want to make it more competitive, line up three sections and have teams race across to the other side. The object is to get all the way across without popping any of the bubbles. Have each child cross the bubble wrap barefoot. Buy a large roll of bubble wrap and lay out a 5-foot piece of it in the yard or in an open space. This game is fun and will having everyone giggling. This game can continue until everyone wins a prize. If their number is chosen from the basket, they win a prize. When the music stops they have to stand on a number. Start the game by having each child stand on a number and begin walking around the circle when the music starts. Make small numbered squares to correspond with the numbers on the ground and keep them in a basket. Write numbers from 1-30 on squares and tape them to the ground in a circle. This game is similar to a cake walk (a popular carnival game), but instead of winning a cake, kids win prizes.

Bridget Parry, an event stylist and party blogger, says she always likes incorporating crafts and games around the party’s theme.
