Today’s children are smart, intelligent and ever in the
search for more excitement. Even birthday parties do not
seem fun enough, unless and until the games excite them. So,
parents need to be far more inventive and innovative and
develop some challenging
party games for the children. Well,
that does not mean that the age old ones need no be a part
of the party celebration.
Children s party games like passing the parcel, passing the pillow, musical
arms and musical chairs are exciting and enjoyable, but
largely amongst kids between the age of 4 years and 7 years.
Beyond that they prefer something that challenges their
mental and physical ability. The mentioned games can be a
part of the overall celebration, but in addition to that
there should be one or two competitions, like quizzes or
some kind of talent competition.
For instance, one can organize a theme party. Take for a
example the theme is clowns. Instead of having the kids
dress up as clowns, they should be made to do themselves up
at the party itself, and the funniest looking clown wins a
prize. Along with this the children can be made to draw
clowns, and play story-building with clowns as the theme.
This makes for an exciting party. However, something like
this is fun for children between the age of 8 years and 12
years.
If it is an outdoor party then the games could be sporting
activities. These could be developed in such a way that
teams are involved. The games could involve a treasure hunt,
a basketball, football or throw-ball match, as well as other
fun games such as dog-and-the-bone. There could be a
tug-of-war, too, a game that most growing up boys enjoy a
lot.
For the younger kids, those of the age of 7 years and below,
the games should be simpler and more exciting. The main
aspect of parties of children is to enhance in kids social
skills. Beyond school the children do not get a chance to
interact, but with such occasions and celebrations they meet
in a fun setting. They mingle with each other and even the
shy children blend into the other invitees. Bearing this in
mind, one needs to accordingly plan the games and prizes.
