A birthday party isn’t complete without games. Celebrate your special day with these birthday games for kids indoors!
Photo Booth Poses
Have a photo booth on your birthday. It’s a fun activity to capture your birthday memories!
You will need: Blank wall, props like balloons and pool noodles, clothing accessories, camera, family and friends
Optional: Camera stand
Instructions:
Have a blank wall as the background for your photo booth.
Pick props to hold and clothing accessories to wear. Props could be balloons and anything else you can dream up. Ask your parents for permission to use any of these props. Also, have lots of clothing accessories available, like hats, sunglasses, and scarves. Mix and match between different outfit styles for the photo session.
Ask someone to take photos of you and your friends. You could also use your camera’s automatic timer and camera stand.
Have fun taking awesome photos on your birthday!
Balloon Smash!
Many birthday parties are decorated with balloons. It can be tempting to pop the balloons. So, let’s make them into a fun birthday game! It’s a competition with sweet treats as rewards.
You will need: Balloons, ribbons, hard candy that won’t break, family and friends
Instructions:
Ask an adult for help. Place a piece of candy inside each balloon. Blow up the balloon and tie a ribbon to the balloon’s end. Each player should have one balloon tied to their ankle.
Let the game begin! The goal is to step onto other players’ balloons. When someone breaks your balloon, they collect the candy inside. They’ve put you out of the game. The last remaining player with an intact balloon wins!
Save some candy for players who’ve lost the round. Everyone should be rewarded for playing and having fun!
How many balloons can you pop? You and your friends are about to find out.
