Answer 1

Pinata
This is a game that requires room and good supervision - the children are blindfolded (or not, if they are young and don't want to be) and they take a stick and try to break a hanging container that has candies and other small goodies in it. (Colorful Band-Aids were popular among the preschoolers here!). To make one, you can do something as simple as decorating a paper grocery bag with paints or crepe paper and then gluing and taping the top shut once the treats are inside. Run a string along the top edge before shutting the bag. You can also make a fancier one using a balloon and paper mache. The fun thing is that these can be decorated to match any theme.

Pin the _Something_ on _Something_
Traditionally pin the tail on the donkey, this game can be changed to fit any theme. In this game, blindfolded guests try to stick a paper 'tail' onto a poster of a donkey. You can take a piece of poster board and draw anything with something missing - a nose on a clown or animal, the TY heart on a beanie baby, a spaceship in an outer space scene, and one year we gave Yoda (Star Wars) his staff. Just be sure to include an outline of where the object needs to land.

Bean Bag Toss
You can make an easy Bean Bag Toss using a double layer of poster board glued together and a large box. Use the large box as a base, and attach the poster board to one side of it. Before attaching the poster board, paint a design on it, allowing for one or more holes.

Treasure Hunt

Make their Own Place Cards or Placemats

Guess How Many
Fill a jar with candy. Have children write their name on a small piece of paper and their guess as to how many candies are in the jar. The child who guesses the right number, or comes closest, wins.

Who Am I?
When the children come through the door tape a farm animal or item/object to their backs. Through the course of the party they may ask each other yes and no questions about what they are. At the end of the party each child takes a turn saying what they think they are.

Birthday Dinner
Players sit in a circle. The first player starts by saying, "At my birthday dinner I like to eat hamburgers". The next player must repeat "At my birthday dinner I like to eat hamburger..." and add another dish. This continues all the way around the circle with each player reciting the dishes in the exact order they have been given and then adding a new one. If a player makes a mistake they slide out of the circle and the game continues. The person left who can perfectly recite the birthday dinner menu wins.

Scavenger Hunt
Rather than encouraging competitiveness between teams, have children work together to find all the items. Hide items in yard or designated rooms.

Duck, Duck, Goose
Whatever the theme, substitute words from the theme for "duck" and "goose."

Charades
Have one child come up to the front of the group and whisper the name of an animal, or something to do with your theme, to them. They then act out what the animal does. The rest of the kids try to guess the name of the animal.

Freeze
Begin by playing music, everyone moves and dances until the music stops then they must "freeze" in whatever position they happen to be in.

Other crafts
Older children might enjoy having a set of beadie critter directions and supplies. Other fun crafts are decorating t-shirts or plastic visors.

Answer 2

For 5yr old's I would not suggest any games containing darts that is asking for an accident.Children at that age love to play (musical chairs,Duck Duck Goose,Bozo Buckets,Scavenger Hunt,)those are just a few ideas also it is starting to warm up another fun game is the water balloon toss.Don't forget to have little prize bag's made up for all the children too..Hope this helps and have a great time..Tell the little one HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Answer 3

The most favorite of all games for 5 year olds is musical chairs. Duck Duck, Grey Duck

Answer 4

There was a game that I LOVED when I was little. You get a large bucket or kiddie pool and fill it with rubber duckie. Each ducky has a colored spot underneath so they won't know until they pick their duck, and that corresponds to the prize they get for picking the rarest of the ducks,,,,Example Blue dot-candy, Red dot- small toy, Only 1 green dot- the big toy

Answer 5

You can make it like a carnival and have little areas set up around the yard or basement. Have face painting at one table, tattoos at another table, ring toss at another area, throw the ball at the bottles (2 liter bottles filled with just a little water) at another table, sand art at another (either making pictures with colored sand or fill ornamental bottles with colored sand - think of other fun things you do at a carnival or fair and modify to suit little children. Good luck and God Bless.

Answer 6

Duck Duck Goose, musical chairs, pinata, scavenger hunt (outside, don't want a bunch of little kids tearing up your house)

Answer 7

well you could play who finishes it first-you might want the 5 yrs. olds and up to play this one. Give them one small container of jello and who ever finishes it first wins, but there a catch, no hands, sit the jello on the table and hands behind their back or at their side but no touching the cup.

Answer 8

I believe the 5 year old kids can play treasure hunt

Answer 9

Hide and seek
Find the lost treasure
dancing competition's
musical chairs

Answer 10
