Air Balloon

What you will need:
Balloons

Instructions:
Break the children into groups of 4 (depending on the size of the party).

All children in the group must get a chance to hit the balloon up in the air.

The balloon should not touch the ground otherwise that group is out.

To keep the game fun, tell the children which body part they must use to keep the balloon in the air…. Head, hand, palm, elbow, ankle, foot, knee etc….

So now if the person uses the wrong body part or lets it hit the ground they are out of the game. This game is played in rounds, so once a group’s balloon hits the ground, they stop until all the groups have finished.

Suggestion: Start with uncomplicated ones like foot, knee and hand and once they get a little confident, increase the difficulty and fun.

If it’s only a small group of children, you do not have to break up the children into groups. The child who lets the balloon drop to the ground is then out.

Potato/Egg and Spoon game

What you will need:
Potatoes / eggs
Spoons

Instructions:
Place a potato on the spoon and then with the word “Go” the birthday party guests must walk from the starting line to the finish line without dropping the potato. The first one to cross the line with the potato still on the spoon wins the game.

This game can also be played in teams if the party is very big. Place the children on opposite sides to each other. On the word go, the children have to get to their partner without dropping the potato. The team member must give the spoon and potato to their team mate when they reach them. That child must then take their turn with the spoon to where their team mate has just come from.

To make it more difficult and fun, use an egg
