Remember all the Party Games we played as kids?

1. Pin the Tail on the Donkey: A classic game where guests take turns being blindfolded and trying to pin a tail on a donkey while being spun around. 

2. Musical Chairs: Guests walk around a circle of chairs while music plays. When the music stops, everyone tries to find a seat. The person left standing is out, and a chair is removed each round until only one person is left.

3. Pass the Parcel: Wrap a small gift in layers of wrapping paper. Play music as guests pass the parcel around in a circle. When the music stops, the person holding the parcel removes one layer of wrapping. Continue until the final layer is unwrapped and the gift is revealed.

4. Egg and Spoon Race: Guests balance an egg on a spoon and race to the finish line without dropping the egg. For a twist, use hard-boiled eggs or plastic eggs filled with treats.

5. Sack Race: Guests hop inside a burlap sack and race a set distance. The first person to cross the finish line wins.

6. Balloon Pop: Fill balloons with small prizes or pieces of paper with challenges written on them. Guests pop a balloon to reveal their prize or challenge.

7. Three-Legged Race: Pair up guests and have them tie one leg together for a race. The team that reaches the finish line first wins.

8. Tug of War: Divide guests into two teams and have them tug on opposite ends of a rope. The team that pulls the other team across a designated line wins.

9. Simon Says: A leader gives commands starting with “Simon says” and players must follow the command only if it is prefaced by “Simon says.” If a player follows a command without “Simon says,” they are out.

11. Duck Duck Goose: Players sit in a circle while one person walks around tapping each player on the head, saying “duck” until they tap someone and say “goose.” The chosen player must then chase and tag the first player before they take their seat.

12. Limbo: Players must bend backward and go under a stick without touching it or falling over. The stick is lowered after each successful round.

13. Three-Legged Race: Players pair up and have one leg tied to their partner’s leg, then race to the finish line.

14. Musical Statues: Players dance to music, and when the music stops, they freeze in place. The game continues until one player is left moving and is out.

15. Four Square: A game played with a rubber ball in a square divided into four quadrants. Players bounce the ball into another player’s square and that player must hit it into another square without letting it bounce more than once in their own square

16. Mother May I: One player is designated as “Mother” and the other players take turns asking “Mother, may I take (number of steps)?” Mother can either grant permission or deny it, and the goal is to be the first to reach Mother.

17.Bobbin for Apples

18. Kickball: Similar to baseball, but played with a rubber kickball instead of a baseball. Players kick the ball instead of hitting it with a bat and run bases to score points.

19. Hot Potato – a game where music is played while children pass an object around in a circle. When the music stops, whoever is holding the object is “out.”

20. Jump Rope: A game where one or more players hold a long rope and swing it while others try to jump over it without tripping. There are various jump rope rhymes and songs that can be sung while jumping

21. Red Rover: Two teams link arms, with one team calling a player from the other team to try and run through their linked arms. If the player can break through, they bring someone back to their team

22. Sack Race: Players hop inside a sack and race to a finish line, with their legs constrained by the sack.

23. Three-Legged Race: Players tie their legs together with another player and race as a pair to a finish line.
