Fun Birthday Games For A Boy's Birthday Party

By: Krystie Gina
 

It can be a real challenge to come up with good birthday games for kids, especially if you've never done anything like that before. Maybe the birthday is for your son and you need to come up with activities for all his buddies. What do we know about boys? Well, they tend to be rambunctious, so we know that birthday games for boys should be fun and encourage activity. Here are some ideas to get you going.

Boys naturally love to play war games that involve pretend guns. If the birthday is in the summer, how about a water gun fight? Divide the boys up into two teams and let them fight like cowboys and Indians. The goal of this game is to get the other team more wet than your team! By the way, don't forget to tell your guests to bring extra clothes when you send out your invitations. You don't want them to be sitting in drippy wet clothes when it's time to cut the cake. You can find good deals on water guns if you shop for them at the local dollar stores. You'll be able to find a wide variety of colors and sizes.

Birthday games for kids don't have to be extravagant. Boys will even like playing three-legged races. When playing this game, it is important that boys of similar sizes match up so no injuries occur. You will want to pair up the boys into two teams. Each pair will tie themselves together; one right leg to the other's left leg. The goal of each pair is to finish the race first. If you want to create more of a challenge for older boys, you can have this be part of an obstacle course.

Another idea that boys will enjoy is playing dress-up. Sound insane? Not if you get the boys to dress up as pirates and let them recreate scenes from their very favorite pirate stories. Better yet, if you plan on having a pirate theme for the birthday party, you could organize a pirate treasure hunt

One last birthday games for kids is the spoon race. All you will need for this game are spoons and something to balance on the spoons, like pieces of fruit, a small ball, or an egg. The object of this game is to have each team pass the spoon with their teeth through the line of your team. The first team to have the spoon reach the other end of the line without hands is the winner. This game may be too difficult for smaller boys though.

Hopefully all these tips for birthday games for kids have given you inspiration. Don't forget to have fun yourself!
