Kid Party Games - For Girls
By MissTy, Fri Dec 9th

Little girls just are different to boys. They like more socialrather then competative games and don't enjoy getting wet anddirty quite as much as a boy if at all. If you are having asingle gender party for your daughter here are some great gamesand entertainment ideas.

Treasure Hunt
Divide the girls into two or threegroups. Give them a list of articles to find. These articles canbe outside - long leaf, round leaf, feather, stone, etc. Orinside - crayon, video, pillow, spoon, doll, etc. Depending ontheir ages have between 20 and 30 items on the list. This willkeep them very busy. Another version is to tell each group tofind items for each letter of the alphabet - apple, ball, comicbook, etc. They can become very inventive.

Sharing Secrets
Girls are natural information sharers.Let them sit in a circle. Each girl has a number of beans orcocktail sticks. The party girl starts by saying "I have never..." and names something she has never done. If any of the othergirls have done this activity they give a bean or stick to her.The next girl to her right then repeats the phrase. Give themexamples like - never seen Shrek, never danced with a boy, etc.

They also love playing broken telephone. The party girl whisperssomething to the girl next sitting next to her. She thenwhispers it to the next girl. The last girl says the message outloud. The party girl then says what the original message was. Itis generally very jumbled.

Let's go Shopping
This activity is a fun way for thegirls to fill their goodie bags. Divide the guests into twogroups. One group are the store keepers and the other theshoppers. Give each shopper 10 coins or beans and a shoppingbag. They then "buy" the party sweets or snacks they want, andplace them in their shopping bag. The girls manning the storesare instructed that each girl can buy 1 item from each store.You can also have a "store" with party favors. When they haveall spent their money the groups swap rolls and the other groupcan now go shopping. To ensure all girls get goodies have twosets of shopping items.

Hot Potato
Let the girls pass a ball around or throw itto each other while music is being played. When the music stopsthe girl left with the ball is out. You will see how fast theball moves.

Bakers Galore
Get all the little girls in the kitchenfor a baking and decorating spree. Choose something which bakesquickly like biscuits and cupcakes. You need frosting indifferent colors and a variety of decorating toppings. As partyfavors give each child an apron and chef's hat.

Fashion Parade
Little girls love dressing up, so letthem do so at the party. Collect all sorts of clothing items -bags, belts, skirts, tops, shorts, shoes, etc. You could alsoget fantasy clothing. Place them in a room. Let the girls getundressed and dress up in the clothing. When they have chosentheir

outfits let them hold a fashion parade. Award each girlwith a prize. Find something special about each girl's fashionstatement, to award.

Do as I say not as I do
The birthday girl starts bysaying "lift your arm" and lifts her arm, "clap" and claps. Theother girls copy her until she says one thing but does another,e.g. says "hop" and then claps. All the girls must do what shesays not what she does. Girls that don't are out.

Dancing Girls
Play different kinds of music - softclassics, quick marching music, fast pop. Let the girls dance tothe music. To make it more fun place different instruments,ribbons and scarves in around the room. Let the girls interpretthe music using these articles. This is a good way to calm themdown for the candle blowing and cake cutting.

Here are more party games and entertainment ideas.

Remember the aim is for everyone to have fun - including you.
