Homemade Birthdays: Games and Activities

We have a lot of fun with birthday parties around here. We spend time together planning them and try to be as creative as we can making and using what we have on hand to put them together. We often try to come up with birthday games that are homemade.

I try to take the theme of the party and put a spin on traditional games. We don't really do commercial parties. So if there is something the kids like, I make it all our own. I usually try to come up with 3 games for them to play or activities for them.

Building with blocks

There was the princess party with the treasure hunt, searching for jewels in the sand, and a bean bag toss.

Duck toss

There was the farm party with pin the tail on the donkey, an egg hunt, and farm animal walks.

Ducky race

There was a jungle party with an exploring trip into the jungle. It had 3 missions. Go through the snakey tunnel, go across the crocodile river, and finally knock down the supply package stuck in the tree (box shaped pinata).

Slip-n-slide

There was a dress-up party where we decorated Poppa with toilet paper, played dress up the animal bingo, and we made our own pizza.

Swimming party

There was a carnival party with face painting and carnival games: ring toss, ball toss, and fish pond.

Going into snakey tunnel

There was the tea party where we had a pinata that came down by pulling ribbons, the spider web game, and we put decorative stickers on the girls' fingernails.

Crossing crocodile river

There was the sleep over with movies, painting nails, braiding hair, and games.

Decorating Poppa

There was the circus party with face painting, balloon animals, and parachute games.
