These games are most suitable for children aged 7 and over and can be played with any size party. They give a twist on traditional party games and make older kids feel a bit more grown-up.
Line Up.
Split the group in half. Line one half up in front of the other for 30 secs and then take them away. One person in the line up needs then to have a small change made eg: removal of a watch or addition of a hair clip. The line up are then brought back in and the other children have 30 secs to identify the accused, ie the person who has been altered. They need to write down the name and the difference and hand over their paper with their own names on also. Repeat the process with the second half of the children and this time try to change something totally different so as not to give the first group an advantage. The people with the right answers are the winners.
Spot the Difference.
Bring the children into a room at the start of the party and let them have a look around. Whilst they are playing other games, change things in the room around a bit, eg: swap lamps around, remove an ornament, turn the tv on etc. A little while later let them all enter the room again with pen and paper and tell them how many differences there are. First person to complete the differences correctly wins.
The Generation Game.
Anyone else remember the conveyor belt on this TV show?? There was always a cuddly toy!! Well this is your very own version. On a tray put 20 items, these can be household goods, food etc or a mixture of things. Put the tray on the kitchen table for 30 seconds, take it away and first person to write down the 20 items correctly wins.
Sh sh shoes!
As the children arrive give them a name sticker to place on the bottom of their shoes. During the latter half of the party have them all remove their shoes and throw them in a basket or box. Pull them out randomly and have the children write down who they think the shoes belong to. Line the shoes up in the order in which you take them out so that you can correctly identify the memory master!
Audio Skills!
Put together a tape of just a snippet of current chart songs one after the other. Line up the CD covers or some id for each song and get the children to write down the correct order in which they heard the songs.
