Indoor Party Games: How To Select The Best Ones

Enjoyment and more!
Naturally, the indoor games should be engaging and enjoyed by all of the partygoers. However, it is important to bear in mind that many games that can be played inside can be subtly used to develop our offsprings’ life skills.

Interaction and cooperating
Games where the attendees have to cooperate with the others are better than games where the girls are acting alone. Permitting interaction gets the partygoers to hone their skills of social interaction. Further, it is worth bearing in mind that games similar to ‘show and tell’ are a brilliant method of honing the attendees’ sharing skills.

However, it is important to include a variety of games to add variety and develop different skills. Plus, if the games are not fun, the partygoers will not play them and therefore won’t develop skills or have a good time. If the games are enjoyed, you’ll be able to have a relaxing time, and therefore enjoy the party as well yourself.

When to play the indoor party games?
Indoor party games can be played even when it is sunny outside. They are a great way to focus the kids’ attention in a smaller environment, permitting you to explain what the party involves, when the food will be served, when the party cake will be available and the stipulations.

An excellent idea for the start of the party is to include a few games to let everyone feel at ease and get to know each other like the classic, ‘charades’, ‘guess what emotion i’m acting’ and ‘guess who i’m singing like’. If the kids don’t know each other, stickers with everyone’s name on will help everyone know who everyone else is.

Playing the games just before food becomes available is an excellent way of settling the kids before they eat. In addition, the theme may make indoor party games more suited than outdoor games.

Sorts of party games to be played inside
Party games that are played indoors don’t need to be quiet, sit-down affairs. Some should be boisterous and flamboyant. This hones the attendees’ skills of conducting themselves in an indoors environment without breaking things(!); however it might be a good idea to remove any precious breakables before the party because accidents can occur!

Ideas for indoor games
Traditional indoor party games would include the ever-popular ‘musical chairs’ and ‘statues’. Further, good old ‘hide and seek’ is an excellent idea if your house has some good hiding places.

My kids love playing ‘tag in slowmotion’ which is basically a game of tag, but with everyone chasing and speaking in slow motion; it helps to ensure nothing gets made in need of repair!

‘Pass the parcel’ is a classic, though we mix it up a little so that everyone but one of the girls has a wrapped parcel. On the music stopping, the girl who does not hold a parcel is given all of the treats under that layer of wrapping from everyone else. This is always a success!

My children love holding ‘dance-offs’ and ‘sing-offs’; but, again, we adapt the rules to ensure everyone feels involved. If some of the partygoers do not like dancing or singing, we let them perform their personal skill, and everyone gets a vote as to who wins the round.

You could include a few ‘craft games’ (for example competing to decorate a cookie to make it look like the nastiest cookie ever made) or dress-up games (for example competing to dress-up like a specific person – some old curtains are excellent for this, as are random clothes you can pick up for next to nothing at charity stores).

‘Card games’ are always popular too; ‘Uno’ is always a lot of fun and ‘snap’ never goes out of style (particularly with a large group).

However, the clear winner with my daughters are ‘role-playing games’. These range from fancydress parties along a specified theme, to getting all the partygoers to develop a character in advance of the party and having everyone else guess it at the party. Play-acting helps to develop their creativity and imaginations, and is something I can’t recommend enough.

Key points
There are many indoor party games that you can use. Trying to get the children involved in providing suggestions ensures they all have fun. You’re not restricted to the traditional indoor games, because the rules of usually outdoor games can be amended (by you and/or the kids) to be transformed into indoor party games. Let their creativity do the hard work for you and enjoy the rest of the party!

I am always striving to find the best ideas for party games for girls!

Plan an Overnight New Years Eve Party for Children

Even though New Years Eve is thought of as an adult party night, children can take part in ringing in the New Year! Plan an overnight New Years Eve Party for children. This party is simple and easy enough to plan at the last minute. Start with making a list of guests such as neighborhood children or classmates.

Next enlist the children in making invitations to send or give out to their friends. Make a simple invitation in the shape of a clock marked at midnight or one with lots of streamers and glitter decorated on it. List the important information such as time to arrive and time to be picked up in the morning. Most importantly, list items to bring to the overnight party such as toothbrush, pajamas, sleeping bag and pillow.

Decorations for this New Years Eve party for children can be as simple as using lots of streamers, confetti, and balloons. Use lots of balloons gathered into a net from the ceiling for a balloon drop at midnight. Pick up noisemakers and New Years Eve hats to add to the festivities.

After the children arrive serve finger-food snacks set up buffet style or have a baked potato bar with all the fixings. Serve fancy cupcakes sprinkled with candy confetti. Play group games such as Twister, Charades and Pictionary while waiting for the stroke of midnight. Children will enjoy watching the countdown to midnight and the New York Times Square ball drop on television.

In the morning, serve a breakfast buffet with simple foods such as sausage-in-a-blanket made with link sausage wrapped in a refrigerator biscuit. Bagels, muffins, scrambled eggs with cheese, cut-up fruit, juice and milk completes your buffet. If there is time after breakfast, discuss ideas for New Years resolutions that children can make such as:

  • Wear a helmet when riding their bike.
  • Completing and turning in homework on time.
  • Help with chores without being reminded.
  • Eat the required fruits and vegetables each day.

Give each child a 3” x 5” index card to write down their resolution to take home and post up in their room. Plus send each child home with a treat bag. Ideas for the treat bag could include little toys, cards, pencils and a small calendar for the New Year. Your New Years Eve party for children will be a hit!

Ten Easy Steps to Great Kids Party Games

One of the most important elements of any kids birthday party is the time spent playing party games. If well planned, they can make great memories for the birthday child and guests alike, if not, they can be a minefield of problems.

Don’t despair – a little forethought and common sense are all that’s needed to make your game time a smashing success!

Follow these Ten Easy Steps to Great Kids Party Games:

1. Group together at least six to eight appropriate party games then adjust down according to
your party timetable. Remember it’s better to have more activities planned than not enough.

2. Run through each game to iron out any glitches that might arise. The party child will be only too happy to help with this and get a sneak preview of the party agenda in the process!

3. Enlist other adults as helpers so things will run smoothly and stress-free. You can promise to reciprocate when their child’s birthday rolls around! Ages and abilities of your party guests should be considered when choosing your party
activities. A five year old won’t be capable of playing charades, but he can probably pop a balloon with his bottom to get the prize inside!

4. Timing is everything! Start your party with an icebreaker game while guests are arriving and end with a quiet game to help kids wind down from all the party excitement.

5. Gather materials you’ll need for each party game in advance and place them in the pre-selected kid-safe location. Pin the Tail on the Donkey just isn’t the same when you’ve forgotten the blindfold!

6. Arbitrate – adult leaders should understand the rules of the games and gently enforce them. Kids have a strong sense of what’s fair and will look to the adults to keep everyone playing by the rules.

7. Make sure each child gets a prize for his or her efforts so everyone feels like a winner. Wrapped candy, stickers, erasers, pencils, coins, medals and other small tokens make great prize incentives.

8. Encouragement and enthusiasm keep guests motivated and happy. For a fun twist, change the rules of the game and give a prize not only to the first player, but to the last one, saying it was the secret plan of the game.

9. Success! Congratulate yourself on a job well done! When your pooped party guests go home to Mom and Dad, this is the part they’ll talk about the most!

10. By taking the first letter of each of the ten steps above, you can spell out what you will accomplish when you follow this guideline: GREAT GAMES!
