Hilarious Birthday Party Games For Kids Adults

All you need for these fun kids birthday party games is some candy, ice cream cones, balloons, and players who are enthusiastic and ready to play!

Hilarious Birthday Party Games

A couple of weeks ago my sister and brother-in-law came down to Texas for a couple of days to celebrate our birthdays that are just days apart. My sister is just as fun-loving as I am and pretty much always up for anything, so I decided it’d be fun to put together a couple of birthday party games (could also use these for housewarming party) to play as a family. We played these birthday party games with both kids and adults right after doing this birthday scavenger hunt with the kids! If you’re playing these birthday games with just kids – use candy or little prizes for the games. If you’re playing these games with adults, try bigger prizes, gift cards, or even cash! So really you can play these hilarious birthday party games with pretty much anyone who likes games even if it’s a 50th birthday party!

All of these games incorporate candy (or prizes) because I mean it’s a party and what kid or adult doesn’t like candy! You can use candy for prizes or get other small things as prizes for the winners instead. There’s a reason piñatas are so popular! One of my readers also suggested using dollar bills or money instead of candy and that works great as well!

Birthday Games: The Candy Bar Game

This was one of my absolute favorite games to play when I was a kid so I knew everyone would love it, and they did! If you’re playing with younger kids, get rid of the stealing aspect of the game or make sure that everyone ends up with the same number of candy bars! Supplies:

At least 1 candy bar per person, preferably 2-3 2 dice

Setup:

Play:

Note: When someone picks a candy bar from the middle, they can hide it behind their back. If someone wants to steal a candy bar, they must be able to say which candy bar they want from who correctly. If they guess incorrectly, they lose out on their turn to steal/choose a candy bar. This works best for older kids or adults, skip this rule for younger kids.

Birthday Party Games: Left, Right, Eat

Supplies:

Three pieces of candy (or prizes) for each player Three dice Printable instruction cards

Setup:

Play:

Note: If someone runs out of candy because they passed it or ate it, they should stay in the circle because someone on their side may end up passing a piece of candy to them on a future roll.
