What are some fun party games for childrens parties?

Question

There will be children ranging in age from 3 years to 12 years in attendance.

Thats a fair point, it is quite a range. It's a family party and we have quite a large family!

Answer 1

I suggest you divide the children into two groups. The older children will need less supervision. Obviously the games should be age appropriate.

Older children: Treasure hunt games involving maps and 'Q&A' elements. In warmer climates, host games outdoors. Games involving physical activity are excellent. Consider 'Frozen T-shirt' games where T-shirts are dipped in water and frozen in advance. The children must find ways to thaw the garment quickly as the first to actually put the shirt on wins the game.

Younger children: It's easier to supervise younger children indoors. Classic games are great. Pass the parcel, lucky dip, treasure hunt games where the children simply look for hidden prizes without the extra challenege of a map, perhaps bake cupcakes in advance and allow the children to decorate their own with sweets.

Answer 2

That's a wide range! Indoors or outdoors. For indoors theres simmon says, pin the tail on the donkey, etc. For outdoors theres tag, follow the leader, etc. What works really well is pairing younger with old. Like for example if your ages were the ones below you'd do the following to get partners (so its fair)..

3 3 4 5 5 6 7 9 10 12
three and twelve
three and ten
four and nine
five and seven
five and six

The only ones that may need assistance is the five and seven and or five and six. :)

That works out fairly for any game.

Answer 3

You give such a wide range in ages, it'd difficult to come up with any that will fit. Look at this site to see if you find any that will work. The only one I can come up with would be some sort of a relay race, with a mixture of ages on each team. I'm sure you'll find something better on the site below.

Answer 4

you may: a million. Seperate the youngsters into age communities and play the video games that way. Have one grownup coordinate the video games for the older young babies, and yet another grownup coordinate the video games for the extra youthful young babies. 2. Play "group" video games, and make each and each group have a splash of each and every age group on it, extremely than have the 7 twelve months olds against the three twelve months olds. (occasion: Relay Race) 3. hide prizes around the social gathering area or in bales of hay, etc.. and supply them a time cut back to locate the prizes. even though they locate, they save.

Answer 5

To help make the party a huge success there are a lot of party games that can be included in a celebration. You have to have a few preconceived party ideas so that you can arrange your party procedures on those lines.
