1. Royal Freeze Dance
Set the tone with a royal twist on the classic freeze dance. Play songs like Let It Go or Do You Want to Build a Snowman? and have the children dance around until the music stops, freezing in place as if touched by Elsa’s icy magic. This game is a fantastic icebreaker and ensures everyone joins the fun right from the start. It works especially well for Frozen-themed parties, bringing familiar music and characters to life.
2. Crown Decorating Station
Channel the creativity of your little royals with a crown decorating station. Using eco-friendly materials like felt, paper, and reusable decorations, children can design their own crowns to wear throughout the party. This calm, creative activity provides a delightful change of pace between more energetic games. It’s also perfectly aligned with our eco-friendly ethos, ensuring the fun doesn’t come at the expense of the planet.
3. Encanto Musical Chairs
This twist on musical chairs uses popular tracks from Encanto like We Don’t Talk About Bruno. Children move around pillows (acting as thrones) and try to sit when the music stops. The last child standing wins the final “magical” throne! This lively game captures the charm and energy of the Encanto theme, making it a hit with boys and girls alike. It’s ideal for keeping everyone active while matching the party’s chosen theme.
4. Princess and the Pea Relay
Inspired by the beloved tale, this relay game sees children balancing a cushion with a small ‘pea’ (a ball or marble) hidden inside. Each team races to pass the cushion to the next teammate without dropping the pea. This playful activity fits beautifully with themes such as Rapunzel or Fairy Sparkles, blending imaginative storytelling with active fun. It encourages teamwork and is sure to spark giggles.
5. Descendants Role-Playing Game
Older children love stepping into the shoes of Mal, Evie, and Audrey with this role-playing game. Split the kids into teams and let them act out scenes from Descendants or create new storylines involving good vs evil. This game is ideal for slightly older children who enjoy imaginative play.
6. Treasure Hunt for Royal Jewels
Turn your venue into a magical treasure hunt with hidden jewels and trinkets. Children can search for treasures related to the party’s theme. This scavenger hunt works well indoors or outdoors and adds an element of adventure to the celebration. Customising the clues and treasures to match the party’s theme will make it even more engaging.
7. Barbie Dance-Off
For fans of Barbie, a dance-off is the perfect way to channel their inner performer. Set up a simple routine to popular tunes from the latest film and let the children compete in teams or individually. It’s a fantastic addition to a Barbie or pop-star-themed celebration.
8. Bubbles and Balloons
Bubbles and balloons go a long way when it comes to keeping children entertained. Simply having these on hand can spark creativity—kids naturally invent their own games when given the space to play freely. Whether it’s chasing bubbles or coming up with balloon challenges, this light-hearted activity offers a perfect way to keep little ones engaged between more structured moments at a party.
9. Storytime with a Princess Character
Let the children unwind with a live storytelling session led by their favourite princess character. Whether it’s Rapunzel recounting her adventures or Elsa telling the story of Arendelle, this activity mesmerises children while giving them a chance to rest.
10. Royal Obstacle Course
End the party on a high note with an obstacle course designed for little royals. Create challenges such as balancing a crown, crawling through a ‘moat’, or jumping over enchanted logs. This energetic game works well with themes like Moana or Pirates, ensuring the children stay active until the very end. It’s a great way to burn off energy while keeping the fun going right to the finish.
