Party Games for Boys

Any kind of party is incomplete without party games. And it's not just kids who enjoy party games, adults enjoy them too. Everything about party games is so exciting and enjoyable. The screaming, the competition, winning, and the prizes. However, it is very hard sometimes to find good and creative party ideas as boys always seem to want something new and exciting. But once you get some great ideas the party will simply rock and everyone will enjoy it. In this article we will check out some of the coolest party games that boys can play. You can choose any of these games based on the party theme and age of the boys coming to the party.

For Birthday

Treasure Hunt
This is a classic birthday party game. It is also enjoyed a lot by kids of all ages. The only thing is that it needs some prior preparation. But once you are ready with the preparations, the game can last for most of the party. Also, it can be easily played inside the house as well as outside. The preparations include making clues that will lead the boys toward the treasure. This has to be done carefully because if they find out the treasure too soon it will not be fun. The clues have to be challenging yet solvable with some thought. Next thing is placing the clues properly in places where no one finds them before the party. With some brainstorming you can get some great ideas for scavenger hunts. Just don't make it too difficult.

Musical Chairs
This is another game which is very common in parties yet very popular. The game is simple. You have keep some chairs in a line with alternate chairs facing opposite directions. If there are more kids than chairs then divide them into two or three groups. If you have five chairs lined up only six kids can play at a time. The kids are supposed to walk around the chairs without breaking the line, while some music is being played. When the music stops everyone should try to sit on the chair nearest to them. As there are five chairs and six kids, one of them will not get a chair. Keep removing chairs so that there is one less chair than the number of boys remaining in the game. The game continues till only one guy is left who wins the game.

Pinata
This is the simplest party game. All you have to do is fill up a pinata and suspend it from the ceiling. Now every kid can take it in turns to hit the pinata with a blindfold on his eyes. But there can be some mishaps in this game if you are not careful. First of all the bat or stick that you are going to use should be lightweight and preferably made of plastic. Also, ensure that all the other kids are at a safe distance from the kid who is going to hit. There are many other pinata ideas that you can try.

For a Pool Party

If it's going to be a pool party you have many more options for games. Read through the following list of pool party games to get some ideas.

Shark Attack
It's a simple game that can be played in the pool. Here one kid can be the shark and the rest of them have to try to escape the shark by swimming away. To make it more fun you can make a shark fin from plastic or cardboard and the kid playing the shark can wear it before chasing the other kids.

Bat the Balloon
Here a simple balloon filled with air is tossed amongst the kids while they are in the pool. Now they have to just bat the balloon with their hands and not let it fall on the water. This can be fun but if there are more kids than the pool can hold then I would suggest that you do not play the game, as with so many kids in the pool there can be injuries. Another balloon game that you can play is water balloon war.

Find the Coin
This is a simple game where you throw a coin or any small object in the pool and kids can go in groups to find that object from the water. But if the kids are small do not use a coin or any small object. Instead use a tennis ball or something of that size. Also, make sure that the game is supervised by an adult all the time and that you follow swimming pool safety rules.

I hope you have found something useful from the above list of party games. Whatever game you choose, make sure that it is supervised by an adult at all times, lest there be fighting or injuries to ruin your party.
