Toy Cubby traffic cones was selected as Amazon’s choice with 4.4 star rating out of 5. This is great for obstacle courses.

Mechanics of the Game:

Team Balloon Race. Divide the participants into two groups or more with 3 or more members. Place a traffic cone 5 feet away (or your desired distance) from the starting point. This will be the marked point. Each player will be given a balloon. The first player place it between his/her legs and will go over the traffic cones criss-crossed. She must reach the marked point, return to the starting point, then tag the next player. If the balloon fell or popped, the player will go back to the starting point and repeat. The first team to finish wins.

Optional Rule for Team Balloon Race: Each members should just hold the balloons. They should wait for their turn before placing it between their legs. One point will be deducted to the teams who will violate it. This rule will teach them discipline and patience.   

For individual balloon race, each player will put the balloon between their legs, walk or run to the marked point, then go back to the starting line. Same with the team rules, they will repeat from the start if the balloon will fall or pop. 

Your kids will surely enjoy this game. This will teach them how to figure out the best strategy to reach the marked point faster without violating the rules. An ideal game to test your kids’ patience.

International Playthings is the best egg and spoon relay race game props that you can use. Kids can easily grip the spoon plus it features the same effect when you drop a real egg. Children will definitely be extra cautious in dropping it.

Mechanics of the Game:

Divide the participants into two teams or more (depending on the number of your guests) with 5 members each. This will be played as a race relay. Each team will be given one egg and one spoon per player. Let the members of the team line-up according to their strategy. Each player must reach the finish line (marked with a traffic cone or a chair) and go back to the starting line without dropping the egg. If the player drops the egg, he/she must go back to the starting line and repeat the process. Once back to the starting line, the egg will be passed to the next player. If the egg fell while being passed, the player will start from the top. The process continues up to the last player. The first team to finish wins the game.

If you have limited participants, you can do it individually. Give each player a spoon and an egg. They will all start the race at the same time and the one who reach the starting line first wins the game. If you have a limited space, you can do it in pairs and timed each player. The fastest one to finish the challenge wins the game.    

This game will excite your kids and will eagerly protect the egg from dropping. This will help your children improve their sportsmanship, and their coordination and balancing skills.

Yellowdin pin the tail on the donkey is the ideal set for your birthday party. Kids will find it easier to pin the tail because of the dotted tail guide.

Mechanics of the Game:

Put the picture the donkey without a tail on the wall that is within the reach of children. Let the participating guests fall in line according to their height. Each player will be blindfolded and will be spun 5 times or more until he/she gets disoriented. He or she will then walk towards the picture and will try to pin the tail of the donkey. The player who pins the tail that is closest to the target will be the winner.     

You can change this with Pin the Nose of Olaf, Pin the Horn of the Unicorn, Pin the Star on the Shield of Captain America, or depending on what is relevant to your theme or what you want.

Children will have a big laugh especially when the tail is placed on the body part of the donkey where it is not suited well. A fun game that your kids will definitely love. This will encourage your children to use their instinct or their best judgment.
