Pass the Present Birthday Game
by Ana J.
( Johannesburg, South Africa)
This is also one of the classic kid party games in which boxes are nested inside each other and wrapped in wrapping paper. The smallest box contains enough prizes for everyone. Music is played and the present is passed around a circle. When the music stops the person with the present opens a layer. The last person shares the prizes with the group.

Whip Cream Bubblegum Game
by Annelize V.
(Miami, FL)
This is always one of the funniest and messiest kid party games! First put a piece of bazooka bubble gum in a plate (without the wrapper). Then spray the plate with whip cream. Tie the players' hands behind their back. When you say "GO!", each player dives into the whip cream face first and searches for the bubble gum. The first kid to chew up the bubblegum and blow a bubble is the winner.

Divide the group into teams (can be two to four people on each team). Give one roll of toilet paper to each team. Within the team, one is chosen to be the passive one (he/she will be dressed in toilet paper). Start a timer (from five to ten minutes) and during this time the people on the team need to create a dress out of toilet paper for their teammate. Have judges that choose the most creative dress out of toilet paper.

by Amy
(Vancouver, WA USA)
This is were you take a pack of small safety pins and mix it in a bowl of rice, blindfold each child and have them pick out as many safety pins as they can within 3 mins, the one with the most safety pins wins. This has been played at baby showers, however it is a lot of fun for kids (my daughter loves this game).

The Grocery Bag Game
by Christina Flansburg
(Amsterdam, NY)
Take a Brown Paper Bag and fill it with things from the house (items that can be worn). Put items like hats, gloves, scarves, bibs, diapers, socks, shirts, baby hats, etc.
The kids then sit in a circle while an adult starts the music. The kids then pass the bag around and when the music stops the kid that has the bag picks an item out of the bag without looking in it and has to put that item on.
Then start the music again and pass the bag around and repeat until the bag is empty. The kid with the less amount of items on - wins a prize.
I put baby items in the bag because it was for my 11 year old daughters' birthday and I wanted to make it fun and have lots of laughs. The kids really enjoyed it!

Cool Birthday Game - Elephant
by Olivia
(Hampton)
You get a group of kids or adults in a circle. One person sits in the middle and looks at the first person. The person they look at tries to say or do something to make the other person laugh. If the person in the middle laughs they trade places. If they keep a straight face and don't laugh they look at the person and say... ELEPHANT!

You have all of the kids sit at the table with an empty bowl (one bowl for each kid). Before the race starts, put a dash of Vaseline on the kids' noses. Put lots of cotton balls all over the table, and on the mark of 'GO', each kid needs to pick up the cotton balls with their nose and drop them into their bowl. The child that has the most cotton balls in his/her bowl (after one minute), wins.

Scavenger Hunt Party Game
by Harley D
(Ma)
There should be two teams! There is not limit to how many players but the teams have to be equal. Each team needs ONE captain. Write a list of what the teams need to find! Each team needs to find the same things.
The captains sit somewhere and that's where their base is. Every time a team finds something they go bring it to their captain. To win, the teams have to find everything within 25 mins or 30 mins. If not all things are found the team with the most of the stuff wins! Best played out doors, But it could be played in a house or large play room.
