Bob the Builder Party Games

Monday, June 11, 2007

Bob the Builder Party Games can be lots of fun for the kids at the party but also interesting for the adults. Here are a couple of game ideas that I’ve come up with for you to use.

The first game is called ‘Block Builder’. It’s a simple scavenger hunt game that will keep the kids hunting around the party area for up to twenty minutes and it fits very well with the Bob the Builder party theme. For it you’ll need lots of large Lego blocks. Or any blocks that connect to each other. Before the party, be sure to hide the blocks all over the party area so the kids have to go hunting for them. At the party you can send kids off in small groups of two or three or just by themselves, but the point is to hunt all over and try to find as many Lego blocks as they can. The kids with the largest set of connected Legos are the winner and you can give them a special prize; everyone can play with the blocks.

The second game is called, ‘All lies’. It doesn’t quite fit with the Bob the Builder theme but it’s a fun word game to play while sitting around the Bob the Builder party table. All the players have to speak only in lies. So players take turns asking each other questions and the response has to be the opposite of what the speaker intends. So very simply you can ask someone if they like Bob the Builder and they have to say ‘no they don’t’.

This game is much harder to keep up than most realize. You can actually keep it going during the entire party so everyone has to speak to each other by saying the opposite of what they mean. The person who can keep it up longest gets a prize. Make the prize fit with the Bob the Builder theme.
