These pictures are from a really simple party game we did for Maggie's birthday party...this game was SO easy to put together and a real hit with the kids. We did sort of a "cake walk," but instead of cakes when the music stopped, we gave out small (very small) prizes from the gift bag we made (you can see it here).
We printed up coloring pages from the internet. Since the party was a Minnie Mouse party, we did all Mickey characters and friends. You could do this for pretty much any character/theme. We let the girls color the pages first, which was a really fun part of party preparation for them, and something they could do themselves. We stuck the pictures to the floor with masking tape in a circle. The kids walked around the circle to music from an ipod, then when it stopped, the winner got to choose a prize. Of course, we had enough prizes for all the kids to be winners. (NOTE: Kids at this age do NOT do well with losing, so please make sure you have a prize for everyone! Our prizes cost maybe a quarter each...you could do this with a piece of candy or a sucker...does not take much to please at this age).
Lots of fun, very cheap, and very easy. Even the shy kids got into this eventually.
