Cheap Indoor and Outdoor Party Games for Kids

Before the party, blow up balloons, at least one per guest, plus a few extras. Cut string into 16-inch lengths and tie one end of each to a balloon. Curling ribbon or yarn works well. To play, tie a balloon to one ankle of each child. Then, tell the kids run around trying to “stomp” or break everyone else’s balloon while keeping their own from getting popped. The last guest with a full balloon wins! (Make sure all your guests are able to handle the loud, unexpected sounds of balloons popping and the disappointment of having their balloon popped.)
