Egg & Spoon race

Number of Players:
4+

What You Need:

Teaspoon; eggs - preferably hard boiled OR golf balls

Activity:
A race of balance! Arrange all of the children at a start line with 1 egg and a teaspoon each. When you are
ready to start the race, ask them to place the egg onto their spoon and then place the other arm behind their
back. When you say go, the children will race - as fast as they can without the egg rolling out of the spoon - to
the finish line. If the egg falls, that child goes out. Whoever crosses the finish line with their egg still balanced
in their spoon and an arm behind their back wins.

Red Rover, Red Rover

Number of Players:
8+

What You Need:

Lots of children

Activity:
Divide the children into two equal teams and have each side line up shoulder-to-shoulder and hold hands. The
two teams should be facing each other and about 6 metres apart. The team starting the game selects a player
from the opposing team and chants "Red Rover, Red Rover, send (insert child's name) right over!" Then the
player who is selected will run and try to break through the hands of a section on the other team. A successful
breakthrough means that player gets to choose a player from the opposing team to join his or her team. If that
player fails to break through, he or she now becomes part of the opposing team. The teams take turns until
there is only one person left on the opposing team.

Treasure Hunt
Number of Players:
4+

What You Need:

Lollies

Activity:
Think Easter Egg hunt - but this one is relevant year round. Just hide lollies around the yard or a certain room
in the house - using the children's age as a guide to how difficult they are to find. The small boxes or
individually wrapped lollies tend to work best. Small boxes of Smarties are always a winner! Just tell then
children when to start and the games not over until the last lolly is found. TIP: provide each child with a lunch
bag or similar and print their name on it. This will save discussions later on which bag/treasures belong to
who.

Number of Players:
6+

What You Need:

Music; enough chairs for each child

Activity:
The chairs are set up in two rows back to back (one chair less than the number of players). The music is turned
on, and the players walk around the chairs. When the music stops the players race to sit in the available
chairs. The player left standing is taken out of the game. The players all stand again and a chair is removed.
The music is started and the walk around the chairs begins again. This procedure is continued until only one
person remains. This person is the winner.

Tug of War
Number of Players:
6+

What You Need:

A rope - longer is better

Activity:
Split the children and adults evenly on either side of the rope. It works best with the smaller/weaker players
towards the middle and the stronger players at the ends. Find a spot on the ground to mark as the middle. The
objective is for one team to pull the other over the mark on the ground. To start, someone yells "GO" and
everyone starts pulling as hard as they can....until one team crumbles and they're all pulled across the line.

Hula Hoopla Game

After splitting into two teams have girls line up in two lines. Have each member of a
team hold hands and tell them not to let go.  Teams then try and get the hula hoop
from one end of the line to the other and then back again without letting go of their
hands.  This birthday party game is silly and fun!

Silly Race Games

Divide girls into 2 groups for these games and have them race by:
Holding balloons Between their knees
Jumping rope singing happy birthday
Balancing an object on head
Holding a balloon between two team members heads
Balancing a small ball on their feet
Skipping backwards
Bouncing a ball
Once they master the forward races, have them do them backwards!

Limbo Game
Two older kids or adults hold a pole or broomstick at child's height. Start the music
and have the children bend backwards and walk under the pole without touching it.
After each round lower the pole an inch or two. If a player touches the pole, they
are out. Game Variation:  Instead of a pole use something from your birthday party
theme: Pirate Limbo - hold a play sword; Fairy Party - hold a magic wand.  

To play this game one person will have to stand in the middle, while the others create a
circle of chairs. Then each choose a chair to sit on. The speaker in the middle will say
something like, "If you're wearing blue move to the right." Players then move to the right.
However, if someone is not wearing blue they stay in there seat, and somebody ends up
sitting on their lap! It ends up being a blast!  Make up a lot of questions beforehand ... here
are some examples:  If you have brown hair move to the right.   If your eyes are blue move
to the left.  If you hate spinach move to the left.  If you think  "_____" (insert boys name) is
cute move to the right.  If you've traveled out of the country move to the left.
