Children's Party Ideas with a Moonwalk

You've got the moonwalk set up, now what?

Games to get everyone involved!

Bounce Like a...

Tell the children that every time you count 1-2-3 then yell out an animal, they have to jump like that animal.

Try frog, kangaroo, rabbit, then see what happens when you call out lizard, bird, elephant, fish and snail!!

Balloon Fun

Grab some balloons and toss them in the moonwalk with the children. The can bounce with them and toss them in the air.

Tumble Races

Have the children take turns with this one.

Line up 4 children on one side of the moon walk and when you say "GO" they somersault their way to the other side, touch the wall (or net) and then lay down and roll back to the other side.
Make sure the somersaults are on the floor and NOT in the air.

Red Light/Green Light

When you yell "green light", everyone bounces. When you yell "red light" everyone freezes.

Or instead of bouncing:
Pretend to fly like a bird
Roll Around on the floor
Bounce on your behind then back to your feet
Do somersaults on the floor.
Bounce on your knees then back to your feet
Pretend you are popcorn, bouncing around until you POP

Flag Tag

Get a roll of streamers and tear 1 foot lengths off of it. Tuck one end of each streamer into each child's waistband then turn them loose!

The goal is to collect as many other children's streamers while protecting your own. When your streamer is pulled, you have to get out (or sit down).

The winner is the last child still wearing a streamer!

Number Switch

Have the children number off. Make sure they remember their numbers! Then, have them scramble and sit in a circle. Have the birthday child stand in the middle of the circle.

The birthday child then calls out 2 numbers. The children with those two numbers have to get up and trade spots while the birthday child tries to beat them to one of the spots.

The person left standing calls out 2 more numbers and tries to beat those children to a seat.

This one is good because it required minimal supervision and has most of the children resting (and rolling around during the action).

Crab Kick

Have each child lean back and lower themselves until they are on all fours- arms back, hands on the ground. Toss in a couple of balloons for them to kick around. See if anyone can get their balloon to hit the ceiling!

Harder variation- anyone whose bottom touches the floor is out!

Kids Sequence Game

Have one kid do a move, such as hopping on one leg. Then everyone repeats the move. The next kid does the first kid's move, then adds one of his own. Everyone must then do the two moves together. The third kid does the first two moves, then adds one of her own. Everyone must do all three moves now.

Anyone who forgets the order of the moves has to sit down. Last one to do all the moves correctly wins! Make sure the moves are safe! No flips or aerial somersaults.

Port and Starboard

This is a memory and action game.

On the command (from the list below) the children have to do the appropriate action. After a while, start removing the last player to comply, untill only one remains.

Port (Run to one side of the moonwalk)
Starboard (Run to the other side)
Captains Comming Aboard (Stand to attention and Salute)
Submarines (Lie on the floor)
Hoist the Mainsail (Run on the spot - like climing the rigging)
Mess Deck (Sit cross legged on the floor - ready for lunch)
Sharks Ahoy (jump, jump, jump - try to stay off the floor)
Up Periscope (Stand up straight and old hands to eyes as though looking through binoculars)

These ideas should add some extra fun to your

BIG Birthday!
