Games for Kids' Birthday Party

Scavenger Hunt
This age-old, seriously fun outdoor party game has been tried, tested and proven to be perfect for your tweenager's birthday party. Divide the children into two teams and hand them with a list of things. The team which finds all the items on the list is the winner who takes it all. This game will require a little planning in advance. You will have to gather the items to be hidden and the places in which they have to be hidden. To make this game all the more fun, try playing scavenger hunt at a mall or outdoors at a nearby campsite, and replace the items with clues which will keep on leading them to the final object.

Adventure Sports
Treat your obedient 10 year old to a day filled with adventure sports. You will find many clubs planning a day of adventure sports such as rappelling, river rafting, rock-climbing, crossing valleys and rifle shooting. This will require booking the 'birthday date' with the club a month or so earlier. Most importantly you will also need to find out the number of kids attending the party, so that you can make the booking accordingly. These are total fear factor games that will make the kids put on their thinking caps differently, to perform such different tasks.

Go Camping
