1st Birthday Party Games

1st Birthday Game 1

Bowling-on-the-Green: This fun 1st birthday party games is an older version of the game played in bowling alleys. Often it is played with wooden pins and balls but for young children plastic two-liter bottles and larger plastic bouncing balls can be used. Use bottles that are filled about a third of the way with clean water or add a little food coloring to make them easier to see. None of the alleys should be very long but try setting some up at greater distances for older children who may be attending the 1st birthday party games. Set up several allies with ribbons stretched flat on the ground. Use flexible end poles and streamers to separate balls. Instead of keeping score allow each guest to roll until all the pins are knocked down in his or her lane. Everyone takes a turn until the crowd appears to be ready to move on to the next game.
