Pin the Tail on the Donkey
- Players: 4 – 20
- Duration: 10 - 15 min
- Average cost: $2
How to play
Tape a large donkey poster to the wall. Each player in turn is blindfolded, gently spun three times, then pointed toward the wall to pin (or tape) their numbered tail where they believe the donkey's rear should be. No feeling around the poster edges allowed! Once everyone has placed a tail, remove the blindfolds and measure — the tail closest to the right spot wins. Swap the donkey for anything matching your party theme: a rocket, a unicorn, the birthday kid's photo.

Ninja
Players start in a tight circle, and on a shared countdown everyone leaps backward into a frozen ninja pose. The game is turn-based: on your turn you make one swift movement — a single lunge or arm swing — to strike an opponent's hand, then freeze exactly where you end up. The player under attack may make one dodging movement, then must also freeze. If your hand is struck, that arm is out; lose both and you're eliminated. Play proceeds around the circle until one ninja remains.

Broom
The participants form a circle, each with brooms standing in reverse (the top of the stick placed on the ground). The participants must move to the next place by releasing their broom and running to the broom that the participant next to them has just released. He who drops his broom loses, and the circle shrinks. When the number of people in the circle is less than 5, they should stand further away than normal so they should run more and be faster. This accompanied by music.

Stacking Balloon Cups
Prepare 5 to 10 plastic cups and place them in a row on the table. The player will then be given an uninflated balloon. Your task is to inflate the balloon INSIDE the plastic cup so that it inflates enough to lift the cup. Therefore, they will take turns using balloons to stack plastic cups into a stack. Whoever gets the stack in the shortest time will be the winner. Or to make it a little more difficult you can stack the glasses in the shape of a pyramid.
