61 Birthday Party Games and Activities

It happens every year, a few times a year depending on how many kids you have. The dreaded birthday party with 25 kids and 15 adults – gah! You have so much to do like get the perfect birthday cards and gifts, party favors and treats! The list is seemingly bottomless but you don’t want to scrimp on the party games. The birthday party has to rock!

So, what will you do this year? Are you tired of playing the same birthday games and eating the same foods? Yeah, me too!

The month of May for us is CRAZY TOWN for our family! Two out of my three girls are May babies!

Finding new and interesting games to play can be a challenge when you have back to back Birthday Parties! Here’s 61 birthday party games & activities I found for our Birthdays in May!

Birthday Party Games and Party Activities

Balloon Stomp via How to have it All

This is one of the funnest birthday games ever! We do this a lot.

Mark off a big section in your yard for plenty of room to run around. Use a ribbon or string to tie a balloon to each child’s ankle. The object is to not get your balloon popped. You will laugh until your belly hurts!

Slurpin’ for Worms 

How to Play this fun but messy game

• Play one at a time or all together
• Choose a number of gummy worms and place the same amount on a plate for each participant.
• Cover the gummy worms completely with whipped cream.
• Place an empty plate next to each gummy/whipped cream plate.
• Have the players place their hands behind their back and  use only mouths to find items on plate, one at a time, and spit them onto empty plate. If a player grabs two at a time both of those worms are removed and placed back in the whipped cream.
• The first player to find them all is the winner or if you play one at a time the player with the quickest time wins.
