Boys play differently to girls. They tend to be both more
competitive and full of energy. Most boys enjoy getting wet and
dirty plus doing physical activities. If you are having a single
gender party for your son, here are some great games and
entertainment ideas.
Balloon water bombs Half fill balloons with water.
Divide the boys into two teams. Let them stand facing each
other. Give one team balloons with water. They throw the balloon
to their partner. The partner takes a step back and throws the
balloon back to his partner. Who in turn takes a step back and
so on. The couple that throws their balloon furthermost without
it bursting is the winner.
Water balloon bowling This is a great game in summer.
Play cricket with a plastic bat using balloons filled with water
as the balls. Each boy gets a chance to bowl and bat. Ensure
there are plenty of balloon balls for the boys to enjoy the wet
fun.
Paint Ball Fill balloons with water soluble paint. Fill
half with red and the other with blue paint. Ensure to instruct
the guests to wear old clothes and bring a change of clean
cloths with. Divide the boys into 2 teams - the red and blue
team. To identify the teams give each an inexpensive T-shirt or
bandana round their heads in their team color. Create a strip of
no mans land - you don't want the boys to be too close when they
throw. They must try hit members of the opposite team with the
balloons. When a boy is hit he sits out. The winning team is the
one with the most un-marked boys.
You can also play a drier version of this game with flour balls.
Place baking flour in stockings and tie them off. As the flower
balls hit someone they leave a white mark, this person then sits
out. The members need to wear dark clothing and you won't have
two colors to distinguish between the teams.
Obstacle Course This is a wonderful way for boys to
expend energy. Create an obstacle course in your garden. For
younger boys have tables and chairs to climb under or over. A
blowup pool for them to wade through. The older boys can climb
trees and jungle gyms, run round the house, etc. Take a walk
outside, plot the course using lots of imagination. The first
one through the course is the winner.
Treasure Hunt Divide the boys into two groups. Give
them a list of articles to find. These articles can be outside -
long leaf, round leaf, feather, stone, etc. Or inside - crayon,
video, pillow, spoon, toy car, etc. Depending on their ages have
between 20 and 30 items on the list. This will keep them very
busy. Another version is to tell each group to find items for
each letter of the alphabet - apple, ball, comic book, etc. They
can become very inventive.
Happy Puppy Give each boy three marshmallows to put in
their mouths. With the marshmallows in their mouth ask them to
say "happy puppy". Give another marshmallow to each child that
could clearly say the words. They must put the next marshmallow
in their mouth and repeat the words. Repeat this process. Each
boy that can't say the words clearly is out. Continue till the
last one standing can say the words. Gross for mom - great for
the boys.
Swing Ball Tie a ball onto a piece of string. Let the
party boy stand in the middle with his friends in a circle
around him. He swings the ball around keeping it just above the
ground. All the boys jump over the string when it comes to them.
If they touch the string, that boy is out or the next one to
swing the ball around.
Races Any type of races is generally enjoyed by most
boys - sack race, two-legged race, egg and spoon race, team
relay race, etc.
Traffic Light Game Let all the boys stand in a row. The
birthday boy stands about 10-15 paces away with his back to the
boys. He says green and the other boys run towards him till he
says red and turns around. Anyone he sees moving is out. He then
turns around again and says green. On red he turns to spot a boy
moving. The winner is the first one to get to the "traffic
light".
Sharky Sharky Party child starts as sharky. He walks
around the garden while the other children follow him chanting
"sharky, sharky what's the time." He then answers with 1 'O
clock or 5 'O clock. This continues till he says "dinner time"
and turns around to catch one of the boys. The boy he catches is
then sharky. Change this game to match your theme by saying
Spiderman or Captain for a pirate theme instead of sharky.
Here are more party games and entertainment ideas.
Remember the aim is for everyone to have fun - including you.
