Anyone who’s been to a party before (!) knows the importance of having some ice breaker games at the start to get everyone introduced and into the party spirit.

Give everyone sticky name badges so their names and readily visible and get everyone to sit in a circle. Starting with one person, they must describe their favorite type of ice-cream, but without giving away the flavor. Each other player has to ask ‘yes’ and ‘no’ questions to discover the flavor.

The party game gets more difficult towards the end as no flavors can be repeated, so the later players have to be more imaginative!

If the party you’re planning for your daughter has lots of people coming, you’ll need some party games for a large group.
The most obvious solution is to have some tag-type games to ensure everyone is involved. It’s good to combine games that everyone can play at once together, but also have some games available for those who may not necessarily like running around.

The key point is to ensure that everyone is involved in something; you should keep an eye out for anyone who does not look engaged and get them to suggest some games that they would like to play.

With Halloween fast approaching, if you’re involved in planning a halloween party for girls, you should ensure that you incorporate some Halloween party games that are suitable for girls.

This will depend on the group of children you are organizing the party for, as many girls will be fine with scarier games. However, you should bear in mind that this may not always be the case.

There is a huge selection of Halloween party games to choose from. The easiest way is to think of the usual games, and then adapt them so that they match the Halloween theme. For example, you could play Musical Chairs, but the music could be creepier and anyone who can’t sit down is ‘eaten’ by a mysterious monster (i.e. taken to another room and given sweets in exchange for screaming). This is one of my daughters’ favorite Halloween party games, but is age-dependant, so tread carefully!

When planning a party or a play-date for girls, it’s vital that you give some thought to what group party games and birthday party activities can be included.

Not only are they are a way of keeping the girls entertained, but they also assist in teaching them social skills. They’re great for you too, as they give you a chance to focus on what else needs to be prepared for the party.

Making the choice of which party games to include will depend on many factors, including (a) the guests’ ages, gender and preferences, (b) the venue, (c) whether the games are indoor party games or outdoor party games, (d) when the games will be played (e.g. a slumber party will need more games than a usual party, and not all games are suitable for slumber party games) and (e) whether there is a theme (e.g. a mystery theme will require mystery party games, and a princess theme will require princess party games).

Three golden rules to remember when planning party games for girls are:

• It’s often more straightforward (and easier on the purse) to hold the party at home
• Girls love to be involved and challenged, so get them to suggest games that they want to play
• Theme parties (where everyone comes in character) already stand out from the usual parties and are a great way to invent new party games by adapting the rules of traditional party games to suit the theme.

Giving the girls a hand in creating the party will ensure that the party is unique and that the guests enjoy themselves and are engaged.

Have fun!

When my girls were younger and had birthday parties, it was essential that the games we played were appropriate for the age group.

Therefore, when they were at preschool, we played a lot of preschool party games. These tend to be more tame and involve less running around; and they’re a great opportunity for the children to interact and learn.

Pass the parcel is a great game for preschoolers. It helps introduce the concept of sharing, and all children love unwrapping presents. Everyone gets a present. However, I’d make dsure you’re closeby to ensure little fingers only open only layer of wrapping paper each time!

Games which involve guessing are great fun and ensure that the party goers use their brains.

One of my favorite guessing party games is ‘Blindfolded Monkey’. For this, you will need an eye-mask (or some fabric which is sturdy enough to act as a blindfold).

Attach the blindfold to one of the girls and get the other children to stand in a circle around the blindfolded girl. Each of the partygoers must now act like monkeys and walk around the blindfolded girl in the circle.

When the blindfolded girl says ‘Monkey Monkey’, the girls must stop walking and act like monkeys on the spot. The task of the blindfolded girl is to guess the identities of as many monkeys as possible.

A party or playdate would not be complete without some entertaining group party games.

These allow the partygoers to engage with each other and develop social skills.

When considering what group party games to include, you should bear in mind the following:

• if you’re including sporty games, some children might not be so good at sports, so you should try and think of ways that everyone can feel involved and able to win (maybe as part of a team where their special skill is needed by the whole team)
• early exclusion games (whereby someone loses towards the beginning of the game and has to sit out) should not make up the majority of the games – it’s better to have a high turnover of games so that everyone can be involved as much as possible
• the games that will be enjoyed most are those that the children have helped contribute to, so think of ways they can contribute to the running or judging of the game (whether by choosing rules or catching cheaters, etc)

One of our favorite group party games is The Shopping List game where everyone adds something to the shopping list and it is repeated by everyone in the circle. This can be made more fun by allowing the children to add an action or sing part of the shopping list. Best of all: let the children determine how the rules should be changed!

Parties are all about having fun. Because of this, it’s always fun to incorporate some silly party games into the list of games you plan to play.

One of these is the Emotions Game.

photo credit: tiffanywashko

To play this game, one person will need to leave the room, while the other girls decide on an emotion. When the person returns to the room, each of the girls have to pose, sing, dance or act that emotion. The aim of the game is for the person who left the room to guess the emotion.

Each of the girls can take it in turns to be the person leaving the room. Obviously, the more rounds of the game that are played, the harder and more funny it gets!

Not all parties will have a lot of attendees. Party games can be amended depending on how many girls will be there.

Here’s an idea which can be amended to provide several small group party games.

A great way of entertaining girls where there are not many of them is to include some adults in the games. One of our favorites is the pharoah mummy! Using a bag of fabric rags, the girls will compete (either in teams or individually) to see who can mummify the adult in their team the fastest. You can switch mummies and award prizes based on speed, lengths of rags used or whatever you can think of!

Girls have lots of fun playing party word games, and here’s one which is guaranteed to be fun.

Divide the girls into two teams and sit them opposite each other in two rows so each girl is facing one other girl. If there are an odd number of girls, the extra girl will sit at the head of the rows.

Each girl must try to get the girl opposite her to say one word from a particular list of words (maybe based on the party’s theme). Whichever row has the largest number of girls able to make her opponent say one of the words wins!

If there’s an odd number of girls, the remaining girl can choose who to play against after everyone has played. She could therefore change the outcome of which team wins!

Girls and boys tend to like playing different types of games at parties. When you’re planning a party and you know there’ll be a mix of boys and girls, a treasure hunt game is a great way to get everyone involved and having fun.

A fairly easy and inexpensive way to ensure each stop on the treasure hunt is suitable for everyone is to have candy as the treasure.

The players can either eat the candy as they go or trade the candy in for a suitable prize at the end. The players who eat fewer candies will benefit the most; perhaps even a great way to combat our growing childhood obesity problems!
