I know lots of people just put out toys for 3rd birthdays - and we've been to some really fun parties like this - but littl'un always seem to have great fun playing games at nursery and personally I love them! (Over competitive? Me? Never?)
I am trying to come up with a mega list to pick from. This is what I've got so far. What am I missing? What are your personal faves? Are there any that you would definitely avoid?
- Duck, duck, goose!
- What's the time Mr Wolf?
- Honey bear
- Musical bumps
- Pin the tail on the donkey / Peppa / Gruffalo etc
- Bottom shuffle race - for little ones or mummies
- Crawling race - for little ones or mummies
- Musical statues
- Hokey cokey
- Hot potato
- Sly fox - nicked from an episode of Peppa Pig
- Hot potato - pretend a foil covered spud is hot & pass round, whoever has when music stops is out
- Chocolate egg and spoon race
- Fishing for parcels with metal sellotaped on presents & a magnet on a stick & string
- Pass the balloon - when music stops person gets a prize
- Musical cushions
- Walking the plank - prize for getting to the end
- Simon says
- Pinatas
- Hide & seek
- Tag / catch
- Sleeping lions - lying on the floor, if you move you're out
- Polo on a string - pass polo round on a string person in middle has to guess who has it
- Fox & hen bean bags - start with bean bags at opposite ends, fox has to catch hen
- Musical march / roulette - walk around on pieces of paper with numbers on it until music stops, and a number is pulled out of the basket, whoever is on that number wins a prize
- Wrap the mummy - with loo paper
- Stuck in the mud - have to stay still when tagged until someone untags you
- Blind man's bluff
- Port and starboard
Am also thinking of some group songs - although, lord only knows why as I am truly the world's worst singer. But anyway, can you think of any suggestions in addition to these that everyone knows?
- Head and shoulders
- London bridge
- Oranges and lemons
- Sleeping bunnies
- The farmer wants a wife
- Five in the bed
- Old Macdonald
- I'm a little teapot
- Baa baa black sheep
- Twinkle twinkle little star
- Ring of roses
