Free 4th of July Party Games

Planning for a fourth of July party? Here are two exciting 4th of July party games that are sure to entertain the children.

The 4th of July Cat and Mouse Party Game

The 4th of July cat and mouse party game is a game played by two groups of children. Divide the children into two groups and make them sit in two rows opposite each other. Leave enough space between the two rows, for the children to walk around. Select two children at the start of the game - one to be the "cat" and the other the "mouse". Blindfold both the children and place the child playing the cat at one end of the row and the child playing the mouse at the opposite end of the row.

The party game rolls into action when the "cat" tries to catch the "mouse". Both the children start to walk in opposite directions using the chairs to guide themselves. The action of the cat trying to catch the mouse is a delightful one and is sure to excite the children who are watching the game. Amidst squeals and peals of laughter, when the mouse is finally caught by the cat, the game continues with two other children playing the cat and mouse.

The 4th of July Patriotic Alphabet Game

Another interesting game that children would love to play at the 4th of July party is the patriotic alphabet game. This is a special 4th of July game that involves learning along with a lot of fun. To play this game you require a boxful of letters. You can either purchase them at any toy store or if you would like to convert this into another fun activity, you can arrange the children themselves to prepare the letters from newspaper cuttings - a new fun way to start a fun game.

Have the participants of the 4th of July party seated round a table. Shuffle the alphabets and deal it among them. The children then should form the word of the states of America with the letters given to them. For this, the entire list of 50 states can be given to them at the beginning of the play. The patriotic alphabet game is a fun way for children to learn not only to form new words but also the various names of the states.
