Birthday Party Games

Party games kids like to play at birthday parties, company picnics,
Scout Troop meetings and in the classroom.

Catch the Balloon
Indoors
Equipment: 3 or 4 balloons
Formation: Circle
Arrange the players in a circle on the floor
and have them number off. Put the highest
number in the center to act as 'it'.

"IT" holds a balloon and calls out a number while dropping the balloon
to the floor. The holder of that number then tries to catch the balloon before it touches the floor. If the player is successful 'it' tries another number. If the balloon touches the floor then that player is "it".

Buzz-Bomb Balloon
Indoors
Equipment:
1 balloon per player, not inflated
Tape or string to make a target
Formation: line or circle

All players inflate their balloon. Some players may need help
When the adult helper says "1,2,3,GO!"
The players release their balloons in the direction of the target.
If you are having a theme party, use a picture from the theme as
the target center. Score 5 points for the closest balloon and 15 points
for a direct hit. This game works well with teams - each team gets their own colored balloons; red, blue, green etc. Or, you do not need to keep score at all and just have fun playing the game several times.
