Old School Party Games

HERE ARE SOME OLD SCHOOL PARTY GAMES FOR YOUR CHILD’S NEXT BIRTHDAY PARTY – THESE MAY TAKE YOU BACK TO YOUR CHILDHOOD!

Ping Pong Ball Two children sit on opposite sides of a table on their knees with their arms behind their back. A ping pong ball is placed in the middle of the table. When the judge says GO, they both try to blow the ping pong ball off the opponents’ side of the table.

Fire Department Break up the children into two equal teams and have them stand in a line. One end of the line has a bucket and the other has a measuring cup. All of the children are given empty paper cups. The children then attempt to pass the water from the bucket down the line to the measuring cup. The team that transfers the most wins.

Hot Potato All children should sit in a circle with one standing with his/her eyes closed. The players sitting in the circle pass a ball to each other. No player can hold the ball for more than a second. At any point the standing player can yell ‘HOT POTATO!’ and whoever is holding the ball at that time is the out!

Back Up Break children into two equal teams. Two teammates sit back to back. When the game starts, the children lock arms and bend their knees. They then attempt to stand up without using their hands. Whichever team can stand up first wins.

Freeze Dance All children begin dancing when the music is playing, but when the music is turned off by the judge they must freeze in place. The judge determines who was still moving and eliminates those children.

Ice Cube Hand out ice cubes to everyone. When the game starts, players can try everything they can to melt the ice cube quicker than their opponents. They can rub it between their hands or on their shirt, or blow on it. Whoever melts it first wins! No cheating (and you cannot put it in your mouth to melt it). Source: www.shutterfly.com
