Despite living in times of consoles and iPads, it is amazing how much children love to play traditional party games. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Games are a great way of involving everyone and, if you have the space, physical games are perfect for expending energy and letting off steam, especially with younger children! <\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Here are some ideas for party games including some old favourites and some fun variations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Our top 7 easy party games to do with children:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The chocolate game<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Pass the parcel (with forfeits)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Pin the tail on the donkey (including some fun variations)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">DIY Pictionary<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Pass the balloon<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Kim\u2019s game<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Limbo<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"col-xs-12\"><span style=\"color: #ff0066; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 24pt;\">1.

There is something wonderfully gratifying about consuming large quantities of chocolate in a comical, undignified fashion with a knife and fork and without having to remember your manners! And any game that involves chocolate has to be a good one, right?!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt; color: #333333;\">Requirements<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Dressing-up clothes including a hat, scarf and gloves<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Two dice<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">A wrapped bar of chocolate,<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">A plate, knife, and fork<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt; color: #333333;\">How to play<\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Put the bar of chocolate on the plate with the knives and forks nearby and sit the children around it in a circle. Throw the pile of dressing-up clothes into the circle. Give one child the dice.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The children take it in turns to roll the dice on the floor in front of them, passing them around the circle to their left.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">If a child rolls a double, they move into the centre of the circle, put on the dressing up clothes, and start to unwrap, then eat, the bar of chocolate &#8211; but only using the knife and fork.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">That child continues until another child rolls a double (the same number on each die), at which point they must hand over the dressing up clothes to the next child.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The game continues until the chocolate is finished<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt; color: #333333;\">Tips<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Don\u2019t underestimate the ability of some children to expertly unwrap and eat copious amounts of chocolate with only a knife and fork \u2013 you may need a few spare bars of chocolate!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">For a larger number of children divide into two teams and provide each team with a bar of chocolate, clothes and dice. Signal the start of the game and the first person in each team rolls the dice. The winning team is the first to finish the whole bar!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Lastly, don&#8217;t forget to take pictures as the children dress up to eat the chocolate.

For this party game, people sit in a circle and pass a pre-wrapped, multi-layered parcel containing a present, from one person to the other while music plays. When the music stops, the person with the parcel unwraps one layer and this process is repeated with the person who unwraps the final layer getting to keep the present.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The modern trend seems to be to include an additional, smaller present between each layer which means that multiple children get to win something. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">However, an even more fun and involving variation is to include a silly activity or \u2018forfeit\u2019 between each layer. The person who unwraps the layer has to do the\u2018forfeit\u2019 in front of everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt; color: #333333;\"><strong>Requirements<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">A present and a box to disguise its shape (optional)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Wrapping paper, scissors and sticky tape<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Pen and paper<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Source of music \u2013 this can be any recorded music or even live music such as a piano<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt; color: #333333;\"><strong>Preparation<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Wrap the gift at least as many times as you have children participating Between each layer, write a note for the person to do when they unwrap that layer. Some examples are below but you can vary the complexity of the forfeits to suit the age of the children and their level of confidence:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Sing Happy Birthday like a dog making woofs for each word<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Sing the song \u2018Heads and Shoulders Knees and Toes\u2019 backwards.

For example, a bag of sweets or multiple small toys<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">It\u2019s more fun when each child gets a turn to unwrap and do a forfeit so the adult controlling the music may need to surreptitiously time the music stopping to land on particular children as the game progresses<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Some children can feel self-conscious doing activities in front of a group, especially younger children, so have some simpler alternatives in mind for those that feel uncomfortable doing what has been suggested. Or try writing forfeits so that everyone can participate. For example instead of having one child mimic a chicken, have everyone do it at once and see who is the best<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">If you don\u2019t like the idea of wasting so much wrapping paper, use newspaper for a more environmentally friendly but less pretty parcel!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 24pt; color: #ff0066;\"><strong>3.

A bandanna works well.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Spin the blindfolded player. The player is spun in a stationary circle five to ten times to make the guessing harder and more amusing for those watching. You may consider not spinning young children.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Let the player pin a tail. Hand the blindfolded player a tail and allow him or her to attempt sticking or pinning it over the &#8220;X&#8221; on the donkey&#8217;s rear end.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Help the blindfolded player to face the image of the donkey before beginning to walk forward.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The remaining players are blindfolded, spun, and allowed to pin a tail, one-by-one until everyone has had a turn<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Leave all of the donkey tails pinned to the location they have been placed, until every player has had a turn.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Use a pen or pencil to write player initials at each tail placement, as they are pinned<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Determine which tail is &#8220;best placed.&#8221; The &#8220;winner&#8221; is the player whose tail is closest to the marked &#8220;X.&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Tip<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Use adhesives such as blue tack or sticky tape on the tails to avoid using sharp pins.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Variation<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Use the preparation of the donkey and tails as a party activity. This adds additional fun but also saves you precious preparation time! Allow the children to draw or decorate a group donkey and personalize donkey tails so each player makes and decorates his or her own. Use a variety of materials, such as string, paper, and ribbon and write each player&#8217;s name or initials somewhere on the tail if they are not easily distinguished.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Tailor the game to your party theme. Pin the Tail on the Donkey is adaptable to fit the theme of virtually any birthday party. You can have pin the Tiara on the princess, pin the spade on the pirate treasure. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">PartyWizz has a few variations <a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/shop\/category\/games\">to suit different themes<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 24pt; color: #ff0066;\">4.

The first team to guess the word wins the round.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">At the end, tally up points and announce a winner!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Variations<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">For a faster-paced game, instead of having a player draw one word before the time runs out, you could let team members draw as many words as their team can guess before the time runs out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">You could assign different point values to different words to add some variety in the scoring system<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">But if you want to keep it really simple, you also don\u2019t have to keep score or keep time if you want. You don\u2019t even need two teams. You could just play with a big group of people and take turns drawing, with slips of paper or with players thinking of their own words to draw. Players take as long as they need to draw. The first player who guesses correctly gets to draw next.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 24pt; color: #ff0066;\"><strong>5.
