Birthday parties for 4-year-olds can be a blast, but it's important to keep them fun and engaging. Here are some fantastic birthday games for 4-year-olds that are both easy to set up and will provide endless entertainment.
The Hokey Pokey
The Hokey Pokey is a classic party game that can be adapted for 4-year-olds. All you need is a standing circle and the song "The Hokey Pokey." Have the kids match their movements to the lyrics and have a good laugh at the end.
Bubble Fun
A bubble station with bubble solution, bubble wands, and/or a bubble blowing machine is all you need for an outdoor party. Encourage the kids to blow bubbles and watch as they pop them.
Birthday Party Parade
This fun party game is perfect for a 4-year-old. Lay out some pots, pans, lids, and other kitchen utensils, and invite the kids to come up with their own instruments. Then, have them line up behind you and create a "start" and "stop" signal, leading to a friendly parade.
Stick the Mustache on the Smiley
Create a mustache using black construction paper and some tape, and give it to the kids. See how many can stick it under the nose without looking. Prizes are awarded to those who are successful.
Beanbag Race
Two differently colored beanbags are placed at opposite ends of a circle for a beanbag race. The goal is to pass the beanbags quickly around the circle, making it a fun and competitive game.
Guessing Bag
Fill an opaque bag with objects, such as a plastic fork, block, or rubber ball, and have the kids reach in and guess the objects before pulling them out. It's a fun way to challenge the kids' memory and problem-solving skills.
Super Silly Freeze Dance
Create a mix of upbeat children's music, explain the rules, and let the kids move and freeze in sync. It's a fun way to channel their wiggles and get them moving.
