Treasure Hunt
One of the most classic birthday party games is a treasure hunt! This can be done both indoors and outdoors, depending on your preference. For an indoor treasure hunt, you can hide small toys or treats around the house for the kids to find. If you’re doing this activity outdoors, you can hide objects in the backyard or park.
Musical Chairs
This is another classic birthday party game that 5-year-olds always enjoy. To play musical chairs, you will need to set up a row of chairs facing away from the music. As the music plays, the children will walk around the chairs. When the music stops, they will sit down in the nearest chair. The child who does not have a chair when the music stops is out of the game. The game continues until there is only one child left sitting in a chair.
Relay Races
Relay races are always a hit. You can set up a variety of different relay race courses, depending on the space you have and the number of children you’re working with. Some examples of relay races include an egg and spoon race, a three-legged race, or a sack race. These races are not only fun for the kids, but they’re also a great way to get them moving and burn off some extra energy.
