Ultimate Bug Party Games
First, here are a few survival tips to help your party run smoothly:
Make sure you select games you think your child will love and also pick some back-ups, just in case. Setup a schedule of events before the party on which games you will play, what order and a time limit.
These tips will help reduce the stress and allow you to enjoy the party. So have some fun at your Ultimate Party!
Each of these games are designed to fit perfectly in your Ultimate Bug Theme…So don’t forget, have fun and take lots of pictures!
-- Ultimate Bug Party Games -- *Go on a Bug Hunt: Before the party buy a bag of small bugs and hide them in the grass and trees or in your house. Give each child a bug bag and a short stick. Tell the children that on the word “go” they must try and find as many bugs as they can and get them into their bags without touching them with their hands. The children get to keep the bugs they find. If you are using just one bugyou’re your theme hide only that particular bug.
-- Ultimate Bug Party Games -- *“Hot Trantula”: This game is played just like the original “hot potato” game. Instead of using a potato use a big black hairy tarantula and play scary music.
-- Ultimate Bug Party Games -- *Bee Boogie: Make a large daisy type flower on a thick stem, cut out center of flower. Attach flower to a stake or stick that can be stuck into the ground. Need ping pong balls, can draw bees on them. Give each child 3-6 balls, depending on age/ability, have them toss into the flower center.
-- Ultimate Bug Party Games -- *Gardener Relay: Make teams of 3-4 members. Need for each team: a garden trowel, seeds, and water can with water. Have kids line up with their garden items. 1st person takes the trowel and digs a small hole at the finish line and runs back leaving trowel, second person takes seed, plants it, covers it, third person runs down with water can and waters the planted see and leaves the can. Fourth person runs down and picks up everything and brings it back. Can leave off the fourth if you only have three members per team, just have each player bring back their own items.
-- Ultimate Bug Party Games -- *Read Buggy Stories: “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”, “The Very Quite Cricket”, “Ladybug’s Birthday”, “The Grouchy Ladybug”.
-- Ultimate Bug Party Games -- *Bug Boogie: Have all the kids line up. This will be a game like red light / green light only they must move and act out like a bug called out. For example, ladybug, butterfly, praying mantis, bee, caterpillar, inch worm, spider, cricket, etc.
-- Ultimate Bug Party Games -- *Pin the flower on the flowerpot: Use a big piece of gray felt and printed flower pots on card stock and flowers on card stock. Attached Velcro strips to the back of the flowers and had the kids pin the flowers on various flower pots (which can be rubber cemented on the felt piece.)
-- Ultimate Bug Party Games -- *Bug Coloring Pages: Give each guest an activity booklet with coloring pages to either do at your party, or to take home in a goody bad. Check out our Ultimate Bug Coloring Pages.
-- Ultimate Bug Party Games -- *Musical Bugs: Instead of using chairs, use big felt flowers. Place them around your party area. Have the children fly from flower to flower as the music is playing. When the music stops, they must sit down on one of the flowers.
-- Ultimate Bug Party Games -- *Don’t wake the bumblebee: For the first round you be the bumblebee to demonstrate to the children on the rules. Start by crouching down and hiding your face, pretending to sleep. The children will tiptoe around you asking, “Bumblebee, are you sleeping?” Answer “yes” several times, then catch them off guard and say, “no.” After you say, “no” you jump up and chase the children until you catch one who will be the next bumblebee.
-- Ultimate Bug Party Games -- *Pin the spider on the web: Cut out one spider from black construction paeper for each party guest. Have each guest decorate his spider with gel pens. Draw a large spider web on white poster board. Put double sided tape on the back of each child’s spider. Blindfold each child and see which child can get their spider closest to the center of the web.
