Games for children's birthday party

Games which need no or a few resources.

   1)   Antakshari: This is a very popular game in India. In this game, a song is sung. The next song has to be sung by the next team with the letter at which the previous song is stopped. Instead of a song, a movie name can also be taken. Similar games involving songs can be prepared. For instance, some words can be written on chits. Songs that have to be sung should include that word.

2)      Dumb charades: Two or more teams are made. One at a time member from each team picks a chit. He/she has to enact the word (which can be movie’s name, name of a personality) or simple sentence or a proverb written on the chit. A time limit should be set within which the team has to guess the correct word or sentence.

3)      Choose a chit: In this game, some chits in which some actions are written are placed in a bowl. Each child has to pick a chit and perform whatever is given in the chit. This game can be made very enjoyable by writing  funny things in the chits.

4)      Mark the spot: A big poster is arranged to the wall. Any specific point like eyes, nose or anything depending on the picture in the poster is selected and a small dot is put. A kid is blind folded and he/she has to mark on the poster near to the dot. All the kids are blind folded one by one in the same way. Whoever marks a point nearest to the dot wins the game.

5)      Tug of war: This game needs some amount of space. Children should be divided into two teams (better if this done thru lottery). Two teams are put against each other on two sides of the rope. Both the teams try to pull the other towards them. The team which succeeds in pulling in the other towards their team wins the game.  More games
