Fun Toddler Birthday Party Games
Musical Pillows
Playing musical chairs can be a bit dangerous for the younger crowd but you can easily overcome this problem by using pillows instead. Simply place one less pillow on the floor then you have children and start the music. When the music stops, every child sits on a pillow. Whomever is left without a pillow gets to control the music for the next round. The game continues until there is only one pillow and one winner.
Pin the tail on the…
This old classic is still quite popular with toddlers across the globe. Whether you are pinning a tail on a donkey, lion, rabbit or kangaroo really doesn’t matter. The fun is found in spinning around and trying to find their way.
Dance like Me
If you are not shy about dancing in front of others, this easy game will keep kids occupied for hours. Simply turn on the music and have the toddlers dance like you. Come up with several silly dances to help them burn off all that energy. The exercise that you get is simply a bonus.
Set up an Obstacle Course
If you happen to have room in the backyard, setting up an obstacle course will keep kids occupied and having a blast. Although it sounds complicated, an obstacle course can be built with nothing more than cardboard boxes. Get creative and build mazes, tubes, steps and various tunnels to keep them engaged.
Hot Potato
Toddlers have to have birthday party games that are less complicated and easy to play. Hot potato is a game that will engage kids of all ages and require very little maintenance on your end. The game can actually be played with anything that will not hurt to toss around. With toddlers it is best to use beanbags, pillows or something similar. Older kids might use a ball of some kind or even a real potato. Essentially you begin the game by starting some music. When the music starts, the children toss the beanbag back and forth as quickly as possible. The tosses should be random and not go in a particular order. When the music stops under your control, whomever is holding the beanbag is out. The game continues until there is no one left.
