Birthday Party Games for Boys

admin — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 09:04:42 +0000

Boys are rambunctious and like to play hard. Some favorite party games that we have found our boys like. You can modify the rules of the games if you want, just have lots of fun!

Water gun fights

This is like the classic cowboys and Indians game. Boys are split up into teams and armed with squirt guns. The object is to drench the opposing team. No hostages, just full on war. You may want to make sure that they bring extra clothes or only play this game on hot summer games. There are all sorts of water guns available, even the dollar stores have several shapes and sizes available.

Three Legged Race

With this game it is important the boys are close to the same size or one could drag and injure the other. Little boys may want to accompany an adult. Pair up the boys into teams of two. Tie the right leg to the left leg of your teams. The goal is to run together, as a unit, and finish the race first. You can make this interesting by making it an obstacle course or you can have a straightforward race from point A to point B.

War

The boys all have a gun and holster, or a sword and holster, and they play war. I encourage the children not to point their weapons at each other but to pretend to shoot at the feet of their victims and make them dance for you. Imagination usually takes control of the boys and they find a way of becoming super heroes, cowboys, bad guys, whatever their group seems to need and they act out what they can imagine.

Pirate

Boys can dress up in pirate costumes and reenact their favorite pirate movie. From treasure hunts to dueling the games are only limited by your imagination…or the imagination of the children.

Spoon race

It takes a spoon and either an orange, an apple, a tomato, a small ball, or an egg to play this game. The players all have a spoon held in their teeth and they pass the item from one another touching nothing with your hands. The item is supposed to make it to the end without falling but with younger children this may prove to be difficult.

A twist on this game is the players can place the item on the spoon then place their hands behind their backs and run to the finish line without dropping the item.

Kid Party Games – for Boys

Boys play differently to girls. Most boys enjoy getting wet and dirty plus doing physical activities. If you are having a single gender party for your son, here are some great games and entertainment ideas.

Balloon water bombs

Half fill balloons with water. Divide the boys into two teams. Give one team balloons with water. They throw the balloon to their partner. The partner takes a step back and throws the balloon back to his partner. The couple that throws their balloon furthermost without it bursting is the winner.

Water balloon bowling

This is a great game in summer. Play cricket with a plastic bat using balloons filled with water as the balls. Each boy gets a chance to bowl and bat. Ensure there are plenty of balloon balls for the boys to enjoy the wet fun.

Paint Ball

Fill balloons with water soluble paint. Ensure to instruct the guests to wear old clothes and bring a change of clean cloths with. Divide the boys into 2 teams – the red and blue team. To identify the teams give each an inexpensive T-shirt or bandana round their heads in their team color. When a boy is hit he sits out. The winning team is the one with the most un-marked boys.

You can also play a drier version of this game with flour balls. Place baking flour in stockings and tie them off. Obstacle Course

This is a wonderful way for boys to expend energy. Create an obstacle course in your garden. For younger boys have tables and chairs to climb under or over. The older boys can climb trees and jungle gyms, run round the house, etc. Treasure Hunt

Divide the boys into two groups. Depending on their ages have between 20 and 30 items on the list. Happy Puppy

Give each boy three marshmallows to put in their mouths. With the marshmallows in their mouth ask them to say “happy puppy”. Each boy that can’t say the words clearly is out. Gross for mom – great for the boys.

Swing Ball

Tie a ball onto a piece of string. All the boys jump over the string when it comes to them. If they touch the string, that boy is out or the next one to swing the ball around.

Races

Any type of races is generally enjoyed by most boys – sack race, two-legged race, egg and spoon race, team relay race, etc.

Traffic Light Game

Let all the boys stand in a row. The birthday boy stands about 10-15 paces away with his back to the boys. He says green and the other boys run towards him till he says red and turns around. On red he turns to spot a boy moving. Sharky Sharky

Party child starts as sharky. He walks around the garden while the other children follow him chanting “sharky, sharky what’s the time.” He then answers with 1 ‘O clock or 5 ‘O clock. This continues till he says “dinner time” and turns around to catch one of the boys. The boy he catches is then sharky. Change this game to match your theme by saying Spiderman or Captain for a pirate theme instead of sharky.
