Below are several children's birthday party games you might want to consider: 1) The "Who Am I" Game When the young guests arrive, stick a picture of an object or an animal on their backs and tell them to ask each other questions that can only be answerable with "yes" or "no" to guess what was written there. If you don't have the time to visit the party planner's office, the worlwide web is your best source. Since professional party planner are becoming more in demand right now, you definitely won't run out of prospects in your search. Of course, in choosing a good party planner, go with one that has been tried and tested, or whose reputation has been consistently positive. The most common children's party games include Pin the Tail on the Donkey, Hit the Pinata, and relay races. You can stick to this lineup, but you can also modify these games to fit your theme (if you have one) or to coincide with your child's gender. For instance, if your child is a girl, you can modify Pin the Tail on the Donkey into Pin the Bow on the Princess, or whatever tickles your fancy. However, there are certain children's birthday party themes that fit girls only or boys only. For example, fairy themes, luaus, Disney princess themes and sweet sixteens are exclusively for girls. On the other hand, sports themes, pirates, cars, medieval knights and aliens are usually for boys. Other interesting children's birthday party themes include slumber sleepover, tropical outdoors, under the sea, indian themes, cowboys, character-centric themes (Spongebob Squarepants, Blues Clues, Kim Possible, etc), outer space, farm animal themes, Star Wars, and others. A child's party that has only a simple theme is just not enough, and what would be the result of having a simple party for your kid? You would have to steel yourself for disappointed look on his or her face. You would not want that, would you? Well then, you have to create a party that is unique and special, the kind of party that not only your kid, but also your child's guests, will remember for their entire lives. You don't need to come up with too intricate poetry because you'll be sending out the invitation in the assumed voice and speech capacity of your child and his or her equally young guests. If you're preparing for a themed event, get invitations that coincide with your theme. If a regular party is more up your alley, then invitations with cutesy characters or fun colors will do the trick.
