Space is a mysterious and interesting thing to kids and adults, and it makes a wonderful theme for a child's birthday party. There are many fun games you can play with kids at a space party, and this article will provide you with detailed instructions for three fun space themed party games for kids.
Space Trivia
A fun and challenging space themed party game is Space Trivia; for this party game you will need a couple bells, paper, pens, and star stickers. Before the party you should pick some categories with space in mind. Planets, stars, and astronauts are all good topics; once you have chosen topics find out interesting information about them and print out several fact sheets. Place these fact sheets around the house before the party, and inform kids about the game and the facts beforehand so they can look at them if they like.
Before you start the game gather all of the space fact sheets, and organize the kids into groups. Start this game by announcing the categories and letting kids decide what group goes first. The let first group pick a topic and announce a question. The first group to ring their bell gets to answer. The first group to get the answer correct gets a star sticker, and the group, with the most stickers, wins a prize at the end of this party game.
Find Earth
Another fun party game with a space theme is Find Earth. Prepare for this kid's party game by printing out several images of Earth and gluing them to pieces of cardboard; trim the excess cardboard and hide the planets around the home before the party guests arrive.
When the kids are ready to play this party game instruct them to search for Earth, and the winner will be the child who finds the most planets. The winner of this space game can get a prize or be the lucky kid to hide the Earth cut outs again. This space themed party game is fun for kids, and it is easy for parents to prepare for.
Pin the Ring on Saturn
Put a space themed twist on the classic party game, "Pin the Tail on the Donkey", by changing the donkey to Saturn and the tail to a ring. Prepare for this party game by drawing several planets into a large piece of cardboard. Kids can help color in the space scene too. You will also need to cut out several rings that will fit on Saturn.
For this space party game you will also need a scarf for a blindfold and tape for the rings. Place a small piece of tape on the ring and blindfold the first kid to play. Spin the kid around, and everyone will enjoy watching each kid take a turn taping the ring on Saturn. The closest kid is the winner.
Prizes
There are many fun prizes for a space themed party that kids will love. Glowing stars and planets, astronaut ice cream, alien toys, milk way candy bars, and other space themed items are perfect for a space themed party.
Try these fun party games with your kids, and your space party will be a hoot!
