Rock Safari Souvenir Activity
by Brittany
(Birch Tree, MO, USA)
Have the kids go out and find any kind of flat rock/s (flat enough that they can glue things to it. You can also have these rocks ready before the party so that the kids don't need to look for flat rocks). Then get stamps, stickers, googly eyes, etc. and let the kids decorate their rocks. When they're done decorating their rocks, they can take them home as a souvenir from the safari party.

Animal Family Safari Group Party Game
by Namita
(Melbourne, Australia)
This is for a big group.... kids as well as parents. Make animal family chits like Mr. Lion, Mrs. Lion and Baby Lion, Mr. Elephant, Mrs. Elephant and baby Elephant.... so on and so forth for as many participants in the game. Distribute the chits to all such that they are folded and no one knows what they have got.
One person is the Game Monitor. As soon as he/she indicates, everyone opens their chit. Now they start making the noise of that particular animal that he/she has got. So they roar or bark, etc and do no talking. The aim is that they should form families. So Mr. Lion, Mrs. Lion and Baby Lion should identify their family from the crowd only by the roaring.
As soon as the family is formed, they should run to the designated area and ring a bell or bang the gong. The family which is able to group together first is the winner.
This game is a big hit in large groups as there is a lot of commotion, confusion and noise which is the fun part. You can have animals and birds together or make bigger families by including Grandpa Animal, Grandma Animal, etc. But more the animals and smaller the families the better....

Elephant's Peanut Safari Party Game
by Kimberly W.
(Los Angeles, CA)
Mark a start and finish line. Then line the kids side by side at the starting point and place a peanut on the starting line in front of each kid. The object of the game is to see who can push the peanut to the finish line first… Easy? Oh, I forget to say that they can only use their noses!

Run Monkeys Run Game
Get all the kids to line up against a wall or a fence (preferably outside) have the birthday child step far back with a ball in his/her hand and have her yell "run monkeys run", then the kids run and she/he throws the ball at the kids. If she/he hits one of them they are out; then continue doing that. (It's similar to dodge ball. It's best to use a soft ball that won't hurt anyone).

Monkey See Monkey Do Party Game
by Lauren M.
(Lexington, SC)
This game is similar to the classic "Simon says", only with a safari theme party twist. Give the kids commands to make animal sounds or move like animals. For example: Monkey says, "Swing your trunk like an
elephant." Monkey says, "Run like a Cheetah." "Squeal like a monkey!" and so on.

Jungle Party Game
by Christine Robertson
(Brisbane Qld.)
Played the same as "ship-shore" but replace 'shore' with 'camp' and 'ship' with 'jungle'.
Commands are given to children (children love making these up) such as monkey (act like a monkey) make camp (lie flat on your back eyes closed) Lion alert (Crouch down arms over head) etc.
Children run back and forth between lines marked 'jungle' and 'camp' stopping to follow commands. Last child to do each action or last over line are out. Keep playing until only one child is left as the winner.

Musical Animals Safari Game
by Kelly Fraser
(Australia)
We had 40 children at my son's animal party so we came up with this version of musical chairs.
Outside make a ring (size is depending on how many children you have there). In the middle of the ring add toy animals (the little kind you get in toy shops). At the start add one for every child so no one feels left out, than as you have each child taken out of the game, take one animal out etc.
We also had fun animal songs playing for the music, kids had a ball and so did I (didn't need to use big bulky chairs!).
