What are some fun birthday games to play?

Answer 1

It really depends on the age of the person (a five-year-old naturally likes different things than a sixteen-year-old does) and on their interests.

For young children:

• Outdoor games such as tag or follow the leader could be fun. If that would not be possible, follower the leader could be adapted into a game of Simon Says. In Simon Says, the others have to do whatever Simon says without being tricked into doing something else.
• Hot potato is another good choice. Sit in a circle and toss around a little ball or bean bag. The object of the game is to not have the ball when the music stops.
• Charades. One person acts out something without using words, and the others have to guess what they are acting out.

For slightly older children:

• Charades could still work, but it would really depend on the children.
• Since these children could read, board and card games could be a good choice. Some good ones might be Go Fish, Sorry, Trouble, and Battleship. However, there are so many others out there.
