Fun Birthday Games for a Boy’s Birthday Party
Posted on June 28, 2008
If birthday parties aren't something you're used to planning, it could be challenging to come up with good birthday games for kids. Maybe you're throwing a birthday party for your son and inviting his friends; you know for a fact that boys can be energetic and rowdy. That's your starting point: Boys enjoy games that are fun and require activity. Let's go over a few ideas.
Assuming that you're having the birthday party during the summer, the boys will probably love a water gun fight. You can turn it into the classic Indians and cowboys gunfight by splitting them up into teams. The object of the game? Make the opposing team as wet as possible! When you send out the invitations, be sure to tell everyone to bring an extra set of clothes. By the way, you can find really good deals on water guns if you check out the dollar store, and you'll be able to buy them in all sorts of sizes and colors.
When you're thinking of birthday games for kids, they don't have to be costly. Even a three-legged race will be a hit for boys. Just remember that if you do this game, you need to match the boys up according to size or there could be injuries as a result. Here's how it works: Divide the boys into two teams. Two boys each will tie themselves to each other (right leg tied to the left leg). Each pair's goal is to finish the race first. If the boys are older and you want to make it even more challenging, create an obstacle course.
Here's another game idea: Dress-up. Wait a minute, isn't that a girly sort of game? Not necessarily! Girls might enjoy dressing up like princesses, but boys can have just as much fun dressing as pirates. And speaking of pirate themes, you might want to add a pirate treasure hunt to the party.
The spoon race is another fun idea as far as birthday games for kids go. It's easy to set up, too. All you need are spoons and fruits, small balls, eggs, or some other small objects to balance on the spoon. The objective is to have teams hold the spoon with their teeth, and then pass it down the line. The team that wins is the one that passes down the spoon to the end of the line without using hands or dropping the object. This may be too much of a challenge for younger boys, though.
Those are just a few ideas for birthday games for kids. Hopefully you've been inspired to come up with some of your own, too.
