Kids Outdoor Party Games

Fill the pinata with candy. Hang it over an open space. Blindfold each child and have them take a couple whacks at the pinata.

Depending on the age group, instead of hitting the pinata, you can can use one that has streamers hanging from the bottom and party goers can take turns pulling streamers until the one that opens the door holding all the candy is ripped off.

You will need:

• 1 beach towel for every two players
• 1 beach ball for every 4 players

1. Each team is made up of two pair of players.
2. Each pair get a beach towel and they hold the towel at opposite corners, so it kind of looks like a hammock between them.
3. The first pair puts the ball in the center of their towel and toss it into the air to the other team.

4. The other pair tries to catch the ball in their blanket. Then then toss the ball back to the other team.
5. If a team misses a catch then the other team gets a point.

You Will Need:

• Feathers
• Straws

1. Designate a "start" line and "turn around" line.
2. Each team gets a feather. Each player gets a straw.



3. Everyone puts their feather down on the start line and on GO the first person on each team uses their straw to blow their feather to the turn around line and back to the start line.
4. Each player on the team takes a turn with the feather. The first team to have each player complete the task wins.

You can also vary this kids outdoor party game by having teams of two, and having each team work together to blow their feather to the finish line.

Or have one player at the start and one at the turn around. Have the first player blow the feather to the second, who then blows it back to the start. First one to cross the line wins.

You will need:

• Beach balls - the smaller ones for younger kids

1. Break the group up into two teams and have them line up facing forward with a foot or so in between each player.
2. The beach ball starts at the feet of the first player in line.
3. On GO the first person picks up the ball and passes it over their head to the 2nd person in line.

   That person then passes the ball between their legs to the 3rd person. That person then passes the ball over their head to the 4th person.

4. Players pass the ball in this over / under pattern until the last person in line gets the ball.
5. When the last person in line gets the ball they run to the front of the line and start passing the ball back again in the same pattern until everyone has been at the front of the line.
6. When the original first person makes it back to the front of the line they place the ball back at their feet indicating that they're back to where they started.

• A bag of Balloons
• String or yarn cut into 10 inch lengths

1. Have each player blow up two balloons. You can do this ahead of time if you prefer.
2. Tie a string to each balloon, then tie one balloon to each shoe leaving enough slack so the balloons drag on the ground when the player walks or runs.

3. On GO players chase each other around trying to pop each others balloons by stomping on them.
4. The last person with an inflated balloon tied to their shoe wins.

• A hula hoop for everyone - Ask the kids to bring their own, or buy them then let everyone take one home as a party favor.
• Music you can start and stop.

The last one standing still hula hooping is the winner.

You will need:

• A broom stick - If you'd like you can decorate it with gift wrapping, garland, twinkling lights, or stickers to match your party theme.

Once a player touches the stick or puts their hands, or knees on the floor they're out. This continues until there is only one player left.
