Party games Games for older children
The whispering game
The participants gather in a circle on the floor. One participant begins the game by whispering a sentence or a long word to the participants next to him/her. This person whisper exactly the same sentence or word to the next and so on. The whisper goes on untill the last participant has heard it and says it loud so everyone can hear. This game could be really funny as the sentence or word might have changed dramatically since the beginning!
Walk the plank!
Fill a toddler's pool with water and put plastic crocodiles, or something similar in it. Place a plank over the pool and let the children walk over the plank from one side to the other, one at a time. Anyone who looses their balance and falls in is out of the game.
Fun at a pirate party!
Yes or No
Prepare the game by writing down a list of "Yes- or No questions".
Divide the children into two rows and place a chair a few meters in front of each row. On one of the chairs there is a note saying "Yes" and on the other there is a note saying "No".
Ask a question from your list. The first person in each team/row runs towards the chairs and sits down on the "Yes" or the "No", depending on what he/she thinks the correct answer to the question is. The person who sits down first on the correct answer gets a point for his/her team. The team with the most points in the end wins!
You are...
The children start out by writing their names on top of a sheet of paper, fold the paper over the name (to hide it properly) and put the paper in a pile in the middle. Someone mixes all the papers before each child gets one of the papers back again. Now they all need to write an adjective, like for example "cute" or "brave". Then they all fold the paper to hide what they just wrote, and mix all the papers in the middle again. They pick a new paper and this time they need to write a proffession, like "fire fighter" or "zoo keeper" for example. Fold the papers again and mix them all.
In the end, they all pick one paper out of the pile and read what"s been written. They will read, for example: "Simon is brave. When he grows up he will be a fire fighter".
