Children’s party games for princesses, fashion divas and rocking stars

Strike a pose

This simple game is similar to musical chairs – except that you don’t need chairs. Kids always enjoy it, and with the added pizzazz of it being on an imaginary catwalk, it becomes really exciting.

Everyone dances around to the music until you stop the song. They must then strike a pose in whatever dancing position they are in. Anybody caught moving is out.

Start the music again fairly quickly and keep repeating until you have a winner. The non-players can pretend to be fashion photographers and help you to spot any movements

Treasure Hunt

Hide a small item of treasure – it could be gold coins, a crown, or some other object that suits your theme, in one of your party rooms, or in a section of the garden. Make sure the kids know what they are looking for.

Then have your little guests come into the room and search for the item. As they get closer call out “Warmer, warmer” until you get to “Hot!”. As they get further away you call out “Cooler, cooler” until you get to “Cold”.

The first person to find item then gets to go and hide it for the next round, or if it is an item of clothing, like a crown, wear it for the rest of the party.

Disco lights – a version of traffic lights

You will need disco light for this one. Or alternatively, cut our a red circle, green circle and a yellow circle. Now get some music playing. Ask the children to start rocking. Every few minutes, stop the lights or hold up a coloured card and shout:

“Stop, the lights are red!”, “Slow down – the lights are Yellow” or “Get dancing, the lights are green”.

If the lights are red, the children must stand absolutely still. If they are yellow, they must slowly and on green they can dance normally.

Any others ….
