• Dart Throw
- Use a piece of wood or thick cardboard for the balloons, unless you have a side of an old building.
- Blow up little balloons and attach to wood with a push pin (or nail or thumbtack would also work). All children get 3 darts to pop balloons.
- Make sure you have enough balloons to continue adding to board as they pop them. • Water Balloon Throw
- Filled up water balloons the night before the party and put them in ice chests or clean garbage cans. Have a water balloon throw.
- Kids choose partners, and make 2 lines across from each other. They begin close to each other, throw the balloon, and all the teams that catch the balloon, take a giant step back, getting farther away from each other. It continues in that same manner, until you have only one team left.
Once the games begin, and you had a feeling of how many children are in attendance, start giving the stuffed animals as a winner prize. Provide all children with plastic bags (from grocery stores, Wal-Mart, etc), so they are able to keep track of all their prizes.
To boot to the games:
• Bubble Center
Take a small baby pool and fill it with 1 bottle Karo Syrup ( light – white in color ), 1 bottle of 42.7 oz Dawn dishwashing liquid ( Dawn works best ), and 2- 5-gallon buckets of water; Mix it well; Use fly swatters, round grease catchers, small rings from a ring toss game, anything that will produce bubbles.
• Face Painting Center
Have someone dressed as a clown, painting all the children’s faces.
• Pick a Duck
More for the younger siblings of the children that attend. Use rubber ducks, ducks from games and under each duck we taped a number 1 or 2, and that was the box they chose from.
