Outdoor team games are an excellent way of involving as many children as possible. They are also a very good way of encouraging all children to play and engage with the game; it will not just be you encouraging less enthusiastic ones to play, but other members of their team will too.

There are many team games which can be played. Tag is an obvious favorite with many children, as it is simple and everyone knows the rules.

If desired, the girls can suggest additional rules which can make the games more unique and special for them.

The basic message is to keep the games as simple as possible; you don’t want the girls spending half the time trying to figure out what the rules are rather than actually playing!

With Thanksgiving fast approaching, it’s a great idea to up the ante and give your children some fun outdoor Thanksgiving games to entertain them.
Obviously, the weather is becoming a little less predictable at this time of year, so be prepared to have some blankets on hold! With this in mind, encourage your children to get some fresh air and run about.

To introduce a bit of variety to the next birthday party you hold for your child, try to include a few outside party games.

These will help the group release some of their pent-up energy, and let you prepare the party room for other games later on.

A party game which my daughters love to play outside is a twist on the normal Scavenger Hunt.

Instead of searching for treats, each person has to find an item which has been assigned to them. The quicker they find it, the more points they get. If they find someone else’s item, they have to tell an adult who will add bonus points to their score (but they must not hide the other child’s item in a different place!).

Points convert into prizes.

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!

To encourage your partygoers to expend some of their pent-up energy, it’s a good idea to incorporate some outdoor party games.

However, it’s key for these to be outdoor party games children will love.

‘Tag’ is a traditional favorite, though I find that my daughters always love playing role-playing games with a bit of physical activity. For example, sometimes they are pirates straned on an island and they have to find some buried treasure (i.e. sweets or fruit hidden by me earlier in the day) to survive. Sometimes they are stranded princesses in need of refreshment.

The key ingredient is that you have hidden some treats in the backyard. You can then encourage the children to let their imaginations take off!

Regardless of what the weather is like outside, outdoor party games are enjoyed by all children: it’s just a case of involving them.

Allowing the partygoers to play outside in your yard (or a park, properly supervised), will give you some time to organize things inside. It also means that when the children return inside, they’ll be a bit more tired and less likely to run around inside too! Not only that, but it will get them to enjoy some physical exercise.

Choosing which games to play should be easy. You could ask the partygoers what they want to play, or you could use the following idea as a start.

Stuck In The Mud is a great way to get everyone running around and enjoying themselves. Basically, one person is the Tagger at the start, and must try and tag everyone else in the group. If the Tagger touches another person, that person is ‘stuck’ until another free person runs under their arm or between their legs to free them. If the Tagger gets everyone, she wins.

An interesting alternate version is where, if someone has been ‘stuck’ three times, on the fourth time, they also become a Tagger.

Traditionally, outdoor youth games are for youth groups and are designed to cater for larger groups of children. A game which involves everyone is a fun way of uniting the group.

One game is RED ROVER RED ROVER. To play this, the group will need to be divided into equal (or near equal) groups.

Each group stands in a line and takes turns in shouting “red rover red rover”. The first person in the line of the shouting group then names someone on the other team. As soon as that person’s name is shouted, they have to run towards the shouting group and try and break through their line.

The other side does the same, and each side takes turns, working along the line so everyone gets a chance to shout someone’s name. Whichever side gets all their team through wins.

It’s a great way to learn people’s names and to get everyone ready for some quieter games later!

Sometimes it’s good for party games to be played outside. This idea will provide you with some really fun games for kids outside.

You’ll need some chalk and some outside space. On the ground, use the chalk to mark out a grid measuring at least four square by four squares. Each square should be large enough for a girl to stand in.

Then use dice (or a large box painted like a dice) to roll numbers. Each girl will roll the dice individually and will move the corresponding number of spaces. Each sqaure will have a task or an action which the landing girl will have to perform – these can be decided by you in advance, or the girls could put their ideas into a hat for you to reveal when each girl rolls the dice! Lots of fun!

Generally, survivor party games are more suitable for boys.

However, it really depends on the preferences of the girls at the party and the type of survivor party games that are played.

If the girls don’t mind getting dirty and running about, some team games that pitch them against the other side are a great way for them to have fun (and exhaust themselves!).

If the girls are more reserved, then why not let them suggest ways in which they could be survivors? They could be pop starlets singing or dancing in American Idol style eliminations; they could be solving cryptic clues!

Pool party games can be enjoyed by all sorts of girls. One excellent game to play is to have a mermaid swimming competition. You’ll need at least two girls (mermaids) and an appropriate number of adult supervisors.

Each girl will be given the chance to swim as much like a mermaid as possible. However, it’s up to each mermaid to decide the character of their mermaid and to get into character!

The contest can be judged by the adult supervisors or by all the mermaids collectively. This is probably the best option because all girls get to participate in deciding who wins. Let the best Mermaid win!

Come rain or shine, a picnic party is great fun. A key ingredient to their success is incorporating cool picnic party games to keep the girls entertained.

The sorts of games that can be played will depend on whether your picnic party is being held indoors or outdoors. Girls whose birthdays are in the fall or winter sometimes miss out on being able to have their own picnic party; this need not be the case (and will definitely be a party everyone will remember!).

photo credit: m,!

A great idea is to hide some prizes at various places around the house (or garden) and to give the girls clues to find the prizes. The clues and prizes can match the sort of picnic you are throwing, whether it be a traditional teddy bear’s picnic or a fairy twinkle toes picnic with tag games and sticky chicken wings! Let your imagination go wild!
