The Detective Birthday Party Games

Guess Who This game starts by pasting labels on the backs of the guests. The guests obviously can't see their own labels but can see others. All the labels are "bad guys"or "good guys" from various children's movies. They then ask each other yes/no questions and try to figure out who they are. By going back to some of the classic movies, this is challenging enough for the 8-10 year old crowd. This takes about 15-20 minutes. The labels are part of the party package.

The Hunt The game begins with the reading of a short letter from an undisclosed source advising the guests that one of them is a ghost, that the murderer is one of the party guests, and that they must figure out who has been killed, by whom, and how. The letter ends by sending them off to find clues. The "clues" are envelopes, one addressed to each child, written in doggerel poetry, containing riddles directing them to next clue. For example “ To figure this out, it’s sad but true, you must now go find something blue”. The next clue is then hidden in/on/under/around something blue in your house. There are a few clues/props pertinent to the mystery, but the real fun for the kids is figuring out the next location and racing to get there.

The very last clue is a fingerprint, and then they all go take each others fingerprints and try to match them to the clue.

You will need:        to supply stamp pads and paper for the fingerprinting. A couple of toy magnifying glasses for identifying the fingerprints are helpful, but they are optional. A box of Baby Wipes and paper towels for the inky fingers is a must.

 

Pop the Balloons:

What you need. - 2 packets of different color balloons. (Red & Blue)

1. Divide the group into two equal teams and have them form two queues. 2. Give each person a balloon. Red for one team and Blue for the other. 3. At the other end of the room, facing the queues, place two upright unpadded chairs. 4. At a signal the first person in the queue blows up their balloon, ties it,    (the adults can do this if the children are young) and runs with it to the chair.    They place it on the chair and sit on it, bouncing up and down if necessary,    until it bursts. 5. They then run back to their team and the next person blows up their balloon and     repeats the action. The first runner goes to the back of the queue and the team that     finishes first wins.

Concentration Game:

Memory Team Challenge 1. Divide the guests into groups of four to six people. 2. Give each group a sheet of paper and a pen. 3. Have a tray of at least 12 assorted objects covered     with a cloth 4. When everyone is ready, uncover the tray for about    10 seconds 5. Each group has to write down as many of the objects    as they can remember 6. Then uncover the tray and see who has the highest    number of correct objects.

Pass the Balloon 1. Players are in a circle. 2. They pass the balloon to each other behind their backs,     trying not to hold it for a long time in their hands. 3. Then after the signal the player who has a balloon in his     hands is out of the game.

WHO is the most Attentive? The players get into a circle and fulfil the commands of the leader. But they must fulfil only those commands which begin with the word "Children". For example: "Children, squat!" "Children, link your arms!" "Stand apart!" The player, who fulfils the last command is out.
