You have conducted a birthday party for your child and have invited all of his friends. In a birthday party for your young ones, the most interesting part for little invitees is birthday party games.

When attending a birthday party children really look forward to playing games. While arranging for the party, it is very important that you also make arrangements for kids to have an indoor gaming session. This will keep them entertained throughout the party. Due to the availability of many different types of party games for girls and boys, hosts are generally confused as to which games should be arranged for. You should make proper arrangements for the kids to enjoy the games as well as not break the items in your house. Remove items that you think the kids may damage during the play. Keep electrical sockets covered with plugs and also put a cover on the floor mat to prevent it from getting dirty.

Fun Party Games for Boys and Girls

Musical Chairs
This game probably needs no introduction as it is a most commonly played birthday party game. It can even be played outdoors with a substantial group of participants. In this game, chairs are arranged in a circular pattern with all the chairs facing outward, and the players standing out of the circle right next to the chairs. The number of chairs is one less than the total number of participants. A non-participant plays the music without taking notice of the position of the players. As the music is playing the participants run around the circle. As soon as the non-participant stops the music, all the players sit on the chairs which are available. Since the number of chairs is one less than the total number of participants, one who does not secure a chair is out of the game. The music and the game starts again after removing one more chair from the circle.

Freeze
Freeze is another game that uses music as a fun source. In this game, participants do funny dances on the music, and when the music stops, they freeze in the positions they are in. Those who are unable to stay in their frozen positions until the music is put on again, are out of the game. The last member not eliminated is the winner. Due to the freezing funny positions of the participants, invitees really get to laugh a lot.

Simon Says
'Simon Says' is also one of the fun games for birthday parties. In this game, the leader has to give an order to the participants who have to follow the order only if, the leader includes 'Simon says' followed by what task has to be done. If the order is given without the leader including 'Simon says' in it, the players do not have to do the task. If anyone does obey the command without the words 'Simon says', he is out.

Balloon Stuffing
This game relates to the players trying to stuff in the clothes as many balloons as possible. This activity can be played individually as well as in a team. It is real fun when played in a team. Make teams such that a participant from every team is wearing loose clothes. When the timer is set, team members in a group will try to stuff inflated balloons in the clothes of the participant. The winning team will be one who stuffs the maximum number of balloons into the teammate's clothes.

Hula Hoop
In this indoor game, hoops are handed over to the participants who need to spin them around their bodies. The person who spins the hoops for the maximum period of time wins the game. If you do not have sufficient space in your room for everyone to play, you can set up a head to head competition, to get a real hula hoop winner.
