Pumpkin Bowling
Game - It's just plain bowling with a fun
- and messy - twist! Boys love this birthday game! Set up pins
(anything that can be knocked over - empty 2 liter bottles work
great) and about 30 plus feet away have the kids roll, throw or
toss the pumpkins at the pins to knock them down. Tip: After
the mess have kids pick up the seeds (and pumpkin pieces) and
use them in a pumpkin seed spitting contest.

Gobble Snookie Game
- See our Game Rules
and How To's page for snookie rules. Snookie is a fun game
that is played like Dodgeball with a little twist and we've
added a fall twist to the game. Instead of yelling "Snookie"
the kids yell "Gobble". Fun to play at birthday parties -
especially for active boys.

| Pin the tail Game
- Traditional birthday party game, but instead pin the tail
feather on the turkey! |
Gobble Tag Game - Played like
freeze tag. The birthday party guest who is "it" tries to tag
the other guests. When tagged the child must hold still and
"gobble" until another child comes and touches them - then they
are unfrozen. When "it" gets everyone tagged and frozen they
get to pick the next "it".

Apple catch Game
- Fun game - but harder then it seems at first! Tie apples to
strings and then tie the strings hanging down from a tree or
clothesline. Tie them just about 3 feet off the ground (adjust
this for the age of the children). Party guests must then try
and take a bite of the apple without touching it with their
hands.

Turkey Snicker Game
- See the rules for Snicker
here. Played like
snicker except instead of a ball use a plush turkey or a bean
bag and call it a turkey. :)
|
Capture the Turkey
Game - Game is played like capture the
flag, but instead of flags the birthday guests hide and try and
capture a turkey.
|
Pumpkin Pie Game
- This is played like hide and go seek
(the squished sardines version). One person counts and the
other birthday guests go hide. The twist is that the hiding
party guests must look for each other without getting caught by
the "seeker". When two hiders find each other they must then
hide together. Play continues until all the hiders are hiding
together. If they can all hide together without getting caught
then the seeker is "it" again.

Indian Bead Shirts
- Make fun Indian bead shirts for a birthday party activity.
Buy inexpensive t- shirts - big or small (girls can wear larger
t-shirts as dresses). Cut the sleeves and bottom of the shirt
into fringe about 2 - 3 inches long. String large plastic multi
colored beads on each piece of fringe - then knot the shirt at
the end so the beads don't fall off. Fun and festive!
|
Pumpkin Decorating
- instead of carving
pumpkins - have a decorating contest and decorate them with yarn
for hair and draw on features with colorful permanent markers.
Add hats, sunglasses and earrings!
|
| Guess how many
- fill a glass container with Indian corn kernels and have the
birthday party guests guess how many are in the jar. Count them
before you put them in, or have the kids count them for you!
Closest to the number wins a prize, or gets the first piece of
birthday cake! |
