Hi all,

My son is turning one on Oct. 31st. I'm having an early first b'day party for him on oct. 7th for some family reasons.

Can you suggest any good games that we can play at his b'day party. We have about 35 adults and 15 kids. most of the kids are 4-7 years old. Please suggest any games for kids as well as something that all adults and kids can participate in.

Thanks. Disha replied. Hi
Musical arms is same as musical chairs..if you donot have enough chairs you can make people stand in a line ( every alternate person stands opposite facing) and they fold their one arm ..and when music stops..the kids can hold the nearest arm .
Its difficult explaining..hope you got it. Disha replied. Hi ,

I would suggest you to browse on websites and find some games. The common games would be for adults and kids - musical chair or musical arms.You can also play passing the parcel.

Also I found this interesting games on website .





BABY'S FIRST BIRTHDAY GAMES & ACTIVITIES
Realistically, one year old parties are for the grown-ups to celebrate. Here are some game ideas that adults can enjoy.

Baby Bottle Bowling - also a good baby shower game!
Fill Fill ten baby bottles with water or rice to make them more stable. Arrange the bottles on the floor like bowling pins.
Mark an \" X\" a reasonable distance from the \" pins\" .
Players will take turns trying to get a strike using a ball.

Baby Monitor Madness
This is similar to a treasure hunt.
You'll need a a baby monitor that can travel some distance.

Before the party, write two lists of clues about areas or items from around your home - 5-10 object per list.
Hide a fun object or candy at each location.
Clue Example:
POP Too dark...POP Too light I never seem to get it right
(toaster)

To play: The teams start the game in different locations.
One team is assigned to the the transmitter and the other
will carry the receiver. The transmitter team has a list of clues. They read the clues through the monitor to the \" receiver\" team. They have only 1-2 minutes to solve the
clue and collect the object at that location before the next clue is read. When the clues have all been read, that round
is over. the teams switch and there is a new list of clues.
The team that solves the most clues wins!

You Are So Special
Place a current photo of your baby in a cardboard mat
frame with a wide edge. Place the photo with acid-free
markers or gel pens on a table. Throughout the party
invite guests to write a message to the birthday child.
You are special because...Happy birthday, Why we love you etc....After the party place this special keepsake in a
glass frame and hang it in baby's room!


Take a Guess
Fill a jar with dry Cheerios cereal, a babies favorite!
You'll need to count the cereal before placing it in the jar.
Every guest will write their name on a piece of paper and
make their guess as to how many pieces of cereal there
are in the jar. Closest guess wins a prize.

Baby Gym Relay
Have you ever noticed much much moving your
little one does. Most adults would find this exhausting!
This relay race will give your guests a workout.
Place two baskets at one end of a room and a pile
of toys at the other end. Divide the guests into teams.
they will start the game at the pile of toys. Players take
turns picking up a toy, crawling (or walking on their knees)
to the basket, drop the toy into the basket and return to
their team. Next player takes their turn and so on. Until
all of the toys are in the basket. First team to finish wins!

Portrait Time -
This is supposed to be fun and with no artistic pressure.
Give every guest some crayons, paper and hard surface
or play at a table - hold the baby where everyone can see him/her.

When you say \" Go\" players have 30 seconds to draw the baby. When the time is up...switch drawings to the player next
to you (clockwise) -- Say \" GO\" draw again. Keep this going
for several rounds (or as long as your baby can handle sitting) the pictures are quite entertaining. Remember, no artistic talent is necessary. Stick figures, abstract ...anything goes.
After the party you may want to make a collage using all of the pictures and frame it - talk about an original work of art.

Baby's First Guessing Game:
Before the party, collect photos, mementos, and hand
drawn pictures of your babies milestones. Tape them
onto construction paper and then mount them on the
wall chronologically, but without dates.
Examples of milestones: left hospital, first shots, 1st bath,
first trip, slept through the night, 1st smile, met grandma,
first solid food, first babysitter.

Give each player some \" sticky notes\" and a pencil.
Each player writes their initials and the date that they
think the milestone occurred. Place the sticky note onto
the milestone picture. Whoever guesses them most wins
a prize!

Our Baby Can...
Before the party write a list of tasks your baby can and
can't do; clap, eat with a spoon, walk, use the potty,
count to 20, throw a ball...Can your guests guess correctly.
To play designate one side of the room to be the \" CAN\"
side and the other, the \" CAN'T\" side.
All players start in the middle.
When you call out a task, if a player believes your baby CAN do it - they move to that side of the room and vise versa.

Time Capsule -
Before the party decorate a coffee can, oatmeal or
tennis ball container. Provide pen and paper.
Encourage your family and friends to write special notes
for your child to read when they get older. Good topics are...
My hopes and dreams for you are...
How you've touched my life.
What I like about you.
I love you because...
Store the container to be opened at a later date.
