Kiddie Party Activities for the Outdoors

Planning a kiddie party soon? Having fun in the sun sometimes makes parents nervous. After all, there’s a lot to battle out when you’re in the great outdoors—mosquitoes, sweat, the heat of the sun, and many more. But kids are naturally carefree and don’t mind getting all sweaty or hot as long as they have loads of fun.

Inform your guests beforehand that you will have an outdoor party. Doing this will make sure they’re prepared to let their kids play to their hearts’ content. What are you waiting for? Put on an extra layer of sunblock and mosquito repellant and get ready to have some kiddie party outdoor fun!

Painting with nature’s wonders

For guests who want to get their creativity going, painting or coloring is a good way to start the party. Ask each guest to choose a leaf, flower, or branch nearby (if it’s allowed in your venue to do so) to use as his or her paintbrush. Give paint in shallow basins, cups of water, and pieces of paper for each guest to use, and ask them to create artwork. The birthday celebrant will choose the best artwork which will win a special prize!

Water balloon challenge

Water balloons and water guns are always fun to have on birthdays. There’s something about them that gets the kids howling with laughter. A little reminder though, pair kids in similar age groups to stay safe.

Treasure hunt

Kids of all ages enjoy going on a treasure hunt, and it depends on how simple or complicated you want it to be. You can hide objects around the venue or make a treasure map that points to small and large prizes. Make it a parent-child activity by putting small passages as clues, making them figure it out together.

Giant ring toss

Have you seen those big pool floaters that look like big noodles? Prop up a couple of those, and then use a hula-hoop or a round floater as the “ring” in the ring toss. The team that gets the most rings stacked up after a certain time wins!

Tic tac toe on the floor

We’re used to playing this game using pen and paper, but why not create your own? Create a tic tac toe board on the grass, sand, or your party grounds using branches, and gather up some rocks, flowers, or leaves to serve as your Xs and Os. Scatter them around the party grounds for your guests to play with and enjoy.
