Planning a toddler's birthday party is an exciting adventure filled with laughter, joy, and a bit of chaos.
The key to a successful party is having a variety of safe and fun games that keep the little guests entertained.
Here are 12 fantastic games that are perfect for making your toddler's birthday party a memorable event, curated by The Carnival Fair.
Bubbles have a magical way of captivating toddlers.
We recommend starting your party with a Bubble Bliss game. Designate an area where an adult or older child can blow bubbles for the toddlers to chase and pop.
This game is perfect for breaking the ice and getting the kids excited.
Create a scavenger hunt where kids collect toy cars or other items. Provide simple tasks or puzzles at each station to receive the next clue.
Another classic game perfect for toddlers.
Arrange a circle of chairs and play some lively music. When the music stops, the kids must find a chair to sit on.
Play some fun music and let the kids dance freely. This straightforward activity is always a hit.
A fun and traditional game that helps develop coordination.
Use plastic eggs to avoid messes. Set up a start and finish line, and let the kids race while balancing their eggs on spoons.
A colourful parachute can provide endless fun.
Have the kids hold the edges and make waves, or play games like "cat and mouse" where one child tries to catch another under the parachute.
Set up a simple indoor or outdoor obstacle course with cushions, boxes, tunnels, and hoops.
Tailor the course to fit the party theme for an immersive experience.
Create a fun relay race where kids dress up in costumes and run to a designated point.
This game encourages creativity and physical activity.
Roll out a long strip of bubble wrap and let the kids walk or crawl across it to make as much noise as possible.
This sensory game is sure to bring lots of giggles.
Organise a simple treasure hunt with small gifts or treats hidden around the party area.
Provide easy-to-follow clues or a simple map to guide the toddlers on their adventure.
One child (or an adult) plays the monster and chases the other kids.
When someone is caught, they become the new monster.
A classic game with a toddler-friendly twist.
Play some fun music and let the kids dance around. When the music stops, they must freeze like statues. Instead of eliminating kids, keep everyone playing and offer small treats for participation.
