Cheap Indoor and Outdoor Party Games for Kids
Egg and spoon race
This fun game is often played at Easter events, but it makes a great birthday party game, too! Before the party, put aside large spoons and eggs. You can use hard-boiled eggs, plastic Easter eggs or even purchase a wooden-egg-and-spoon game kit. Whatever type of egg you choose, for small groups plan on one egg and one spoon per kid, and for larger groups, have one set per team. Either way, be sure to have a few extra eggs on hand!
To play, line up party guests side-by-side and give each a spoon and egg. The object of the game is to cross the finish line while balancing the egg on a spoon, without dropping the egg. It’s harder than it sounds! If you have a large number of players, play this game as a relay race.
Divide the group into teams, each team member must race while balancing the egg on the spoon to a certain point, then turn around and go back to the start. Mark the turning point with a traffic cone or other object. They then must pass the egg to the next member who does the same. First team to finish without dropping the egg wins!
