Kids Party Games
Granny Grunt Game
Guess who the granny is by how they grunt. You need a blindfold and broomstick.
All players stand in a circle except for "it". Choose one person to be "it" who is blindfolded and stands in the middle of the circle with a broom in hand. "It" tells all the players move, then tells them to stop. Then "it" spins around and sticks his/her broom handle out. The person nearest grabs it and "it" says "granny grunt". The person grunts and whoever is "it" tries to guess who the granny is. If the guess is correct, that person now becomes it in the middle.
Pinata Party Game
A Piñata is made of papier-mâché to form the shape of popular and traditional characters depending on your party's theme and is then filled with sweets and small toys.
Balloon Race Game
Divide children into two or more teams. Team members stand one behind the other and each leader is given a balloon. The balloon is passed down the line by going over the leader's head to the next child who passes it through their legs to the next one who in turn passes it over their head. When it reaches the last child he/she runs around to the front and starts it off again. The game continues until the team leader ends up back at the front and the first team to finish is the winner.
Balloon Choo Choo Game

Hunt the Prize Game
A treasure hunt activity
Hide some small prize or sweets in the party room (or better still if the weather is good, hide them in the garden)before the children arrive. Whenever you decide during the party the children are allowed search the room or garden for the prize. You can give them hints by telling anyone who is close that they are hot while someone who is looking in the wrong place is cold! Whoever finds it keeps the prize
Balloon Battle Game
Be the last not to let your balloon get burst.
You require enough balloons and string for each person. Divide the group into two teams. Tie the balloons to everyone's ankles. Say "go" and watch the teams trying to burst the other team's balloons first. The team with the last balloon wins. As your balloon is burst you withdraw from the game
Lazy Tennis Game
Cord, 2 chairs and also a balloon are needed for this game. It may be helpful to have a judge for your game.
- Start by setting up the place to play. Clear a big area and in the centre make the centre net. Do that by tying a length of cord, about a foot off the floor, to 2 chairs, and so separating the playing area in half.
- Write each player's name on a slip of paper, put all the names in a box and draw out 2 at a time to choose who will play one another.

The Most Practical Driver Game
Firemen Game
Flip the sleeves of two jackets inside out. Hang these jackets over the backs of two chairs. The chairs are with their backs to one another at a distance of 1 meter. Lay a 2 meters rope under these 2 chairs. Both of the players stand at their chairs. On hearing the warning sign, they get their jackets off the chairs, flip the sleeves out, put them on and do up all the buttons. Then every "fireman" runs around the chair of the rival, takes his seat and pulls the rope. The 1st person to deal with the task is the winner.
