While it is true that kids adore cake and ice cream, they cannot just sit around at the table for hours and will most likely get bored. Consequentially, you need to kick it up a notch by choosing some kid party games to include in the birthday menu. In case you planned an animal themed party, then one of the games you can integrate is Tails.

The game of Tails is quite cheap to organize, as you can use socks for “tails”. The role of the game is to grab another person’s tail and keep a close eye on your own at the same time. Once he loses his tail, the player needs to sit down. However, if other players get too close, the player can grab himself a brand new tail and re-enter the game.

Another outdoor game that you could organize during your child’s birthday party is Needle in the Hay Stack. The game implies laying down a foil or tarp, a stack of hay and a lot of small toys or sweets. Given that it is summer and it is rather hot, make sure that the candy you hide there will not melt due to heat. At the same time, hide sufficient items for the kids to find according to the number of young guests.

The other types of games that are sure to be a hit for a summer birthday party are those involving water. For instance, the kids could play Tug of Water or Water Balloon Toss. However, this guide would like to point out they are not going to work well if you own a swimming pool. Speaking of the pool and water, you can try a variation of the Capture the Flag game commonly dubbed Pirate’s Treasure, as you can modify the “treasure” to grab with any party theme.

If you are planning on inviting at least five people at the next birthday party, then one of the games that you should definitely try out is Murder in the Dark. In a nutshell, Murder in the Dark implies having small pieces of paper, the assassin obviously having a marked one.

The idea behind the game is to have all guests sitting in a circle and holding hands. The criminal is to squeeze the hand of the person on his left for a given number of times, then that person needs to squeeze one less time and so on. The person that gets squeezed only one time dies and is out of the game and the murderer starts to squeeze again. You can try guessing the identity of the assassin, but if you did not guess correctly you die as well.

A fun game to play for birthday parties when the guests are all couples is Love Statue. Basically, you divide the couples into participants and watchers. Then, you call on a couple and ask them to form a statue with their own bodies. When you will need to call one of the participants, men and female, ask them what they want to change and then to take the place of the same sex person. This continues until all couples have left their mark at creating the statue.

In case your group of friends is not shy, but rather bohemian and with a “try at least once” attitude, then you can consider strip poker or truth or dare. Due to the high level of intimacy both games imply, it is advisable that you propose the games only when you have invited a few guests only. One suggestion is to let them choose which piece of clothing they will be betting to remove in case they lose the next hand.

In order to make your pool party a special one, you need to think about some different pool party ideas that others have not ever tried or thought about.

You can arrange a separate container for each girl with a polish, nail file and not to forget toe separators draped in a nice piece of cloth. As far as the food is concerned, it can be light and crispy. You can serve some delicious sandwiches and scrumptious cupcakes. Since the party is for girls, you must pay special attention to the decorations as girls notice minor details and will surely appreciate your efforts.

One suggestion that you cannot go wrong with is to come up with a dress-up idea. If she is too conservative, then you can consider adding a bit of excitement by completing your outfits with wings or funny hats.

The policewomen outfits can consist of blue shirts, black trousers and boots. However, for a truly entertaining experience accessories are crucial. Therefore, consider purchasing badges, handcuffs, whistles and police hats.
